How to open support ticket?

Hi. How do I open a support ticket? I want to contact Comcast support to report a problem.  The Xfinity stream app is not available on the new Samsung series 5 2019 TV I just bought.

I searched everywhere and followed any instructions on the Xfinity site and forum about this problem but it doesn’t address that the Xfinity stream app cannot be installed.

The Xfinity site states any 2019 Samsung TV can download the app, regardless of software version.

Even so, I tried to update software on the TV and got an error message “This function isn’t available”. I confirmed that I’m logged into my Samsung account and connected to WiFI. Thanks!

Hello @user_eeb05e! Thank you for taking the time to reach out and being part of the Xfinity family. Have you checked that your tv firmware is up to date? You should be able to see the version on your tv and check Samsung website if matches latest available. Even if your TV says it's up to date it's always a good idea to double check just to be sure.

@XfinityAntoine Thank you. I was able to update the firmware but the Xfinity app is still not found when I search for it on my TV.

That's great to hear the update was successful, @user_eeb05e! After updating the firmware, have you already powered the TV off, and back on before searching for the Xfinity Stream Beta app?

Thank you for trying to help me!

Yes, I powered the TV on and off several times.

I contacted Samsung via live chat and was given a link to a website (Xfinity?) that showed which Samsung TV models were compatible with the Xfinity stream app. My 2019 Samsung model 5200 series was not on the list, although the 5300 series is. Unfortunately, I can’t find the link right now.

Before I bought the TV, and after discovering the problem, I checked an Xfinity website and it showed all 2019 Samsung TVs were compatible. 

I think what I need to do now is open a support ticket to ask Xfinity to add the stream app to the 5200 series, right?
