I have experienced the exact same situation with Xfinity streaming on my PC. I have the 1 GB Xfinity Wifi and what used to be a very good HD quality picture with LIVE streaming TV is now not much better than a good quality SD picture.......

And I have tried several browsers with the same problem !!!!!

By the way, I just tried to watch the exact same channel from the TVGO channel list and the quality is appreciably better. HD quality but probably on the lower resolution side. But again, much, much better !!!!!

Experiencing exact same issue for past couple weeks here in Illinois, streaming from my laptop. Terrible quality and then tried TVGO channel, still low quality. Pay a fortune for this service, it's ridiculous.

add me to the list. Ridiculous is an understatement. Hey xfinity, never mind your [Edited: "Language"] excuses while robbing us, how about telling us how much $ you WILL credit our accounts??

Fix this. Right now is good.

I can certainly understand that it's frustrating to not have the Stream app working! We would be glad to look into this for you and open a ticket, if needed. Please send a direct message using the following instructions:

 

(Full credit to @BruceW for this excellent explanation!) 

"Search for Xfinity Support" won't work. To send a "Direct Messaging" message to Xfinity Support:

 • Click "Sign In" if necessary

 • Click the "Direct Messaging" icon or https://comca.st/3lSP88f

 • Click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon

 • The "To:" line prompts you to "Type the name of a person". Instead, type "Xfinity Support" there

 •  - As you are typing a drop-down list appears. Select "Xfinity Support" from that list

 •  - An "Xfinity Support" graphic replaces the "To:" line

 • Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window

 • Press Enter to send it

See https://comca.st/3AUCc6j for an example.

Hi Xfinity your Stream quality is junk. It's impossible to watch anything in HD quality, that has broken recently.

Has anyone actually looked at all the errors logged in the Browser console when loading your Xfinity Stream website? It's ridiculous. You're logging access tokens, and probably something like 50 error messages

Same issue, been streaming in browser for a couple years and never any problem. I contacted customer support last weekend and it was such a waste of time with the scripted fixes. I've resorted to streaming through the channels actual websites and using my xfinity log in to access them. There are still plenty of channels that isn't an option for. That shouldn't be my issue when I'm already paying a company and they currently stream the channel I'm trying to watch but don't care enough in 3 weeks to have probably even looked into the issue let alone have a solution.

Last couple weeks, both the xfinity steaming app for in house on my Roku device, phone when casting to tv, and on PC are all terrible quality. I live just outside philly with gig internet. 

TVGO channels are just as bad. Only work around is to set a dvr recording of whatever you want to watch live. Then watch the DVR'd version for anything close to HD.

Using xfinity.com/stream and have extremely poor video quality on every channel.

If I use the Foxsports streaming or ABC stream web sites it works fine.  

Definitely a problem on the xfinity side.

Why so long with no fix Comcast/Xfinity?

Its pathetic

Same issue noticed it last week. Internet is working fine no issue streaming any other service it is specifically xfinity stream in browser. Watching football at 1990s quality is NOT fun or nostalgic I can't even see the football!

Please fix this issue. It's making a product we pay for unusable right now.

Stream on any browser is no longer HD quality, and looks terrible. Please escalate this issue.

Latest Windows 10, Firefox, Chrome, Edge, it doesn't matter...it's all bad right now.

It is awful.  If I sign up for Youtube TV the resolution for the same stations is perfect.  This is an issue with Xfinity.  I don't understand how this can be since they own the network.  Amazingly incompetent.  We need to get some competition in the Twin Cities and suburbs.  Xfinity is truly a monopoly and apparently doesn't care about the customer's experience.
