Samsung

I have 4 Samsung TVs. 2 I removed boxes from about a year ago and went to the xfinity stream app. One is a bedroom tv used minimally and one is a basement tv used here and there on weekends. About two weeks ago, the Xfinity stream app quit working. It freezes on the purple screen with three bubbles loading. I have to manually restart the TV by holding the power button until the model shows up. Things I’ve tried 

1) restart tv

2) restart modem

3) delete app/reinstall

4) make sure tv has latest updates 

5) read forum posts with their suggestions 

nothing works. I’m open to any suggestions. I refuse to pay $250 a year to bring back the boxes for TVs that barely get used The TVs are new enough to run the app. Every other app like Hulu, HBO, Disney, etc. run fine on the TV. Please help and thanks for reading.

Good Luck, Comcast/Xfinity continues to refuse to acknowledge their app has issues…

Thanks for reaching out to us,  I recommend you go into your Samsung TV settings and clear the cache and cookies, you want to make sure your TV is compatible https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/xfinity-stream-app-faqs , so it needs to be at 2018 model or newer.

 

After you clear the caches and cookies then uninstall the app & reinstall it. A lot of times just deleting the app and reinstalling it doesn't clear all the running data, So it's recommended to do the clearing cache cookies options 1st and then uninstall and reinstall the app.

 

 

Let me know if that worked and resolving your connection issues with your Samsung TV's
