Error:TVAPP-00165

Receiving this error message in the Stream app on my Samsung TV. Sorry! Unfortunately, we cannot support high speed data customers without a video subscription. Check out xfin.tv/shop to subscribe today! The app had been recently working fine without problems. Did a recent update break it? I've already tried uninstalling/reinstalling app.

This is the answer given after reaching out via DM and then being handed off to Advanced Repair.

If you do not have a cable tv subscription, you will not have access to the Xfinity Stream app on any partner devices. TV's (Samsung/LG). The Stream app is intended for cable customers who want access to their tv channels without renting a cable box. The only way to get to that content now is by using the Flex box, or via the web at https://www.xfinity.com/stream

It's still available for use on Fire TV, Roku, and Apple devices.

@DreamSayerZ Thank you for reaching out and bring this to our attention. I can understand how frustrating this must be. Have you logged out of the app and logged back in and see if it clears the error?

@XfinityTimothyA​ Yes, I've already uninstalled the app. And tried to log back in. When I authorize the app it says please wait while we get you your experience and receive error message.

Let's take a closer look into this and see what is causing the issue with you using the Streaming application on your Samsung TV, @DreamSayerZ. Could please send us a Direct Message so that we can get started?

To send a Direct Message [private message]:

  • Click "Sign In" if necessary
  • Click the "Direct Message" icon

or  https://forums.xfinity.com/direct-messaging

  • Click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon
  • The "To:" line prompts you to "Type the name of a person". Instead, type "Xfinity Support" there.
  • - As you are typing a drop-down list appears. Select "Xfinity Support" from that list.
  • - An "Xfinity Support" graphic replaces the "To:" line.
  • Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window
  • Press Enter to send it

@user_rnn2h7​ They no longer permit use of the Xfinity Stream app on Samsung TV's unless you have a cable subscription. It's still available to use on Fire TV, Roku, and Apple devices. And supported computers/browsers via the web Stream Portal.

Just solved problem. I had 2 locations with xfinity, one with internet and tv, the second one with internet only. When I opened the second account, my email was linked to the internet only account so when logging in to my account with tv, it was thinking I didn’t have tv. I called xfinity and after 4 calls ending with technical team TT, finally was solved. I believe if you go to your account using a computer or iPad (not phone), you can make the change in the security settings. But not easy. Good luck
