I have the same issue. Sometimes just refreshing the page allows it to load. My best solution has been to turn ON my adblocker. If necessary turn it off when the site loads.

@user_v2wrxb there currently isn't an ETA for the Xfinity Stream Portal issue, but did want to assure you that our engineer team is aware and working to get this resolved as quickly as possible. There is an open ticket I've been watching over the past few days. The work around provided until the stream website is fixed, is to download the Xfinity Stream App to a mobile device or tablet. Sorry for the inconvenience, but wanted to pass along the Xfinity Stream App work around.

Hello, @user_heavps thank you for creating a post over Xfinity Forums. There is a known issue with the www.xfinity.com/stream portal our engineer team is aware and working to get this resolved as quickly as possible. There is an open ticket since 7/14, and I've been checking for updates over the past few days. The work around provided until the stream website is fixed, is to download the Xfinity Stream App to a mobile device or tablet. Sorry for the inconvenience, but wanted to pass along the Xfinity Stream App work around.
I'm unable to watch anything on Xfinity as it is stuck in spooling on the Xfinity Stream screen on my PC. When I manage to get to the stream page, whether it is movies or networks, and I click to play, I encounter the same problem: either the stream spools or the action is simply cancelled.
I have been having this same problem for almost 3 weeks! I can't watch TV on the little screen on my phone. This is definitely unacceptable. It is hard to imagine why it can take so long to fix something they created. Telling to just download the app on a mobile device is just ignoring the urgency of a real fix. I have also tried mozilla, chrome and duckduckgo to no avail.

@XfinityRoberto I don't know what you are talking about, there's no way for me to direct message anyone. Your advice is outdated, apparently. Do you not know about the website redesign?
Same here. I mean it always takes forever to load (worst website out there), but this is ridiculous. It’s been like this all week—endless purple “loading” screen.
Wow. Okay so today it finally let me log in, but the website still isn’t fully functional (not that it ever was). Apparently they’ve been updating their website and just lied to everyone—as online streaming was clearly INTENTIONALLY down—wasting countless hours of people’s time and charging them for a service they couldn’t access. The website looks different, so it’s obvious this is what they were doing, but not much on it actually works (like if you select “watch now” or anything else, nothing happens). Xfinity is begging for class action I swear.
I am having the same problem! The only thing that makes me feel better is knowing that it is not just me, so I am not necessarily really "forbidden", even though the outage sites say the server is saying that. I only get a purple screen when I try to watch something. With my Adblock Origin and Ghostery turned off, I can get into the streaming website and see my favorite channels. But when I click on a program I want to load, it's this purple screen again. This is the first time I have noticed this problem. My TV works fine, but I can't stream on my desktop PC. It's very frustrating!
@pleaseandthankyou Okay, so the only thing that is working is that I am able to watch prerecorded videos in my DVR area. So try recording whatever program you want to see.
