Hi, @user_d9314a and any others seeking assistance on this thread. There is a known issue with Samsung smart TVs with our stream app. It is possible these issues are connected. Are you able to stream our app on other devices that are not the smart TV?

Oh, no! @user_d9314a. I am sorry to learn about this experience with our XFINITY Stream Beta app experiencing technical difficulties. I love streaming on my Samsung TV as well so I understand the inconveniencet that this has caused you. Thank you so much for your patience with us. The "beta" version of our Stream app doesn't include the full set of features and functionality that comes with the Xfinity Stream app on mobile devices or the web portal. The great thing is that future releases of the app will include additional features and functionality, as well as improved stability and optimization. In the meantime, when using the "beta" app, you won't be charged an "additional outlet" service charge. As a reminder, while we work on getting the Stream app changed out of the beta version, pricing may change in the future. Make sense?

Sorry but doesn’t make sense, when I went to Xfinity store, the girls said I can use the TV and my TV combo directly in my TV, I decided to buy the TV package also for my Son. Now I am paying for the channels I am not able anymore to watch!!! Again, I was using as expected for more than 3 weeks, and was very nice, why suddenly just stopped?? I need to go back to the store and cancel my TV monthly payment… just internet is what I am using!! Is it this?

@user_e04866​ Well, I finally got mine fixed. Should be a better way. I did a factory reset on my TV. Had to setup again like it was brand new. Establish my internet connection, and then reinstall the Xfinity Stream APP

I am having the same issue on my Samsung. I have read 3 different forums full of people with the same issue and tried all troubleshooting official xfinty accounts have offered. When I press on 'Live TV', it says my plan does not include live channels.. it does. The live channels even work on my phone. I continue to get Error code: TVAPP-00500. I have unplugged, uninstalled and reinstalled the app at least 6 times. It's really unfortunate my boss cannot use the services she is paying for. What solutions are there, if any? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I hope I do not have to switch to a box to resolve this issue. Thank you!

We are aware of this issue happening on 2022 Samsung model TVs. If this TV set is a 2022 model, we anticipate to have this resolved within the next 2 weeks. This is just a time estimate. I am sorry for the inconvenience that this has caused.

Hello @user_b1b9bb, thank you for reaching out to us on our community forums. At this time, our engineers are working to resolve this issue.

 

Currently, the temporary solution is viewing the stream application through other devices such as compatible Roku boxes, cellphones, tablets, computers, etc.

Hi I'm having the same issue on my JVC and Onn tv. It seems your not advising your techs that this is an ongoing problem. I just spent over 2 hours off and on on the phone with your techs and neither of them could help with the issue. It was not until I found this blog and notice that this has been going on for a while. I was told I would get a call back on tomorrow from someone higher up. If I don't get that call, I will just cancel my whole service. What good is it if you cannot watch live tv and have to pay for it somewhere else.

Hi @user_40ac9d the above thread is in regards to the Samsung TVs. The Stream App of ours can only be downloaded and watched in LG and Samsung models only at this time but that can change. Right now ONN TV's are not listed. Are you trying to stream the app on a third party device that connects to your ONN TV?

I have 3 Roku's and none are able to stream. I also can no longer stream on my computer or my phone on my home network.  I pay a lot of money for 2 boxes, phone and cable and I can't even stream any more. No one seems to be able to help.

Hello, @user_886357.


Are you getting the same error message "TVAPP-00500" or a different one? I do see some updates were pushed yesterday, have you seen any improvements on your devices when attempting to stream?

I also have the same issue and getting the error message TVAPP-00500. I’ve called numerous times and most of the techs are aware of the problem. However, I was told several times that it would be fixed in a day or two and I would get an update. It’s been 2 1/2 weeks now so today I stopped at the local store. The rep there tried to sell me on a tv box for $7.50 per month and guaranteed it would work. Why should I pay for a tv box when it was not needed 2 1/2 weeks ago? That made me wonder if Xfinity has purposely messed up this upgrade to force us to rent their tv box. Anyway, now I see from the comments that the issue is being worked on and I hope to see a resolution soon. However, how about compensating us by reducing our monthly fee while we are suffering this down time?

Not to pile on, but I also bought 3 brand new Samsung TVs and spent hours trying to get the Streaming App working.  Does Xfinity have a way to communicate to ALL customers when something has been fixed?  I either have to wait for the app to work OR buy boxes.   Prefer to wait if it can get resolved in next couple days.
