Getting wrong channel on streaming service

I called customer service yesterday, but it appears nothing has been done.  When I try to watch channel 217 MeTV (WBIR-DT2) on my computer with the streaming service, I get content from channel 215 SprotsGrid (WATE-DT3) instead.  I am missing my favorite shows and this has been going on for days now!

Hello @user_4b3e77 and thank you for taking the time to create this post for our Xfinity Community Forum!

 

From time to time, networks move channels. It is possible that this is what happened in your area. I will be happy to review your lineup and find MeTV for you. Another option is to use the search option on the Xfinity Stream app to search for MeTV. On X1, simply hold the microphone button on your Xfinity Voice Remote and say "MeTV" to be shown a guide with all channel options for MeTV.

@XfinityElizabethA​, no, the channel hadn't been "moved".  There was a glitch in the system.  All the search option would do is tell me where the channel was SUPPOSED to be (which I already knew).  This same problem has been reported quite a few times by others.  The problem is always reported to be fixed eventually, but without much of an explanation for when it happens again.  In this case, it was fixed a day or two after I wrote the post above.  I guess one of the techs finally responded to my called-in complaint.  Hopefully the problem won't occur again, at least on the channels I watch.
