I keep getting kicked out from the Xfinity Streaming app on my Apple TV 4K

Hello,

I have the latest Apple TV - 4K streaming box from Apple, and I have it connected to my Xfinity Wifi.  I am able to download the Xfinity Streaming app, but after I enter the activation code, on the www.xfinity.com/authorize page, it logs me in for 1 second and then kicks me out.  I should add that I am running the latest and greatest tvOS software on my Apple TV Box. 

I have done the following:

1) Restarted my modem

2) Restarted Apple TV

3 Deleted the app and reloaded it

I think this is an issue with the Infinity Streaming app not being compatible with Apple TV, which is unacceptable!!

I found the problem to this.  The latest Apple TV 4K (3rd generation) is not compatible with the latest version of the Xfinity Steaming app.

SUPPORTED APPLE TV DEVICES

The Xfinity Stream app works on any Apple TV device that supports tvOS version 15 or later, including:

  • Apple TV 4K (2021) <---- the latest Apple TV 4K (3rd generation) is from 2022 onwards (see below)
  • Apple TV 4K (2017)
  • Apple TV HD (2015)

4K (third generation)

On October 18, 2022, Apple announced an updated Apple TV 4K with the A15 Bionic chip with a 5-core CPU (one high efficiency core disabled) and 5-core GPU, reduced weight and dimensions, and support for HDR10+. It comes in two configurations, a Wi-Fi-only model with 64 GB of storage, and a more expensive 128 GB model with Wi-Fi, Ethernet and a Thread radio. The included Siri Remote charges via USB-C instead of Lightning.[52]

This doesn’t help me. The Apple TV app crashed when using the Apple TV 4K and needs to get fixed. It’s as simple as that

We are glad to help in any way that we can @dmegyesi71.  Can you confirm that you are using the most up to date version of the app on the device you are streaming on?

I need to know. Does the latest Xfinity Streaming App (version 1.7.0) work with the latest Apple TV 4K (3rd generation)?

It's a simple question. Please DO NOT tell me to restart my modem, or my Apple TC. These are NOT going to help. This is a software development question.
