Unable to activate/authorize Stream App on Roku devices

I'm tyring to activate /authorize the stream app on my roku devices and i keep getting an error.

I am able to install the app in the Roku devices. When i try to log-in in tells me to go to xfinity.com/authorize and enter the code showing in the stream app. The web page shows successful activation but in the Roku Stream app it gives me the error "Thank you for being an Xfinity Customer. Unfortunately, we cannot support high speed data customers sithout a video subscription. Check out xfin.tv/shop to subscribe today!"

I am able to access it on Fire TV, Samsung Tablet, and Online. All my Roku devices are listed as supported on the website. I've uninstalled/re-installed the app multiple times but still can't authorize the Roku devices. I've searched the community forum and I found this same issue on several posts with no resolution.

Hello @user_047qnn Thanks for reaching out to us. Sorry to hear you are having issues connecting the Xfinity Stream app to Roku. One common issue with Roku is it gets mad at multiple accounts some times. Do you have multiple Xfinity accounts by chance?

@user_ow9der Thanks for reaching out for support. I have a link that goes into the compatible devices that work well with our Xfinity Stream app. I recommend taking a look to ensure your Samsung TV and your Roku are both listed https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/xfinity-stream-app-faqs 

Can you give that link a try for us?

Hi there, @user_e42dlb Thank you for taking the time to reach out. I'm sorry for the trouble you are having with your TV service. Since it's been a few days since you last posted are you still having trouble activating your TV?-Richard

Same problem here while trying to activate the Xfinity Stream app on a new Roku TV, but keep getting this error message: "Thank you for being an Xfinity Customer. Unfortunately, we cannot support high speed data customers sithout a video subscription. Check out xfin.tv/shop to subscribe today!"

I have multiple Xfinity accounts: (1) Internet + X1 TV (2) newly added NOW service

Have tried all troubleshooting steps (restart modem, TV box, re-install Stream app), and was on calls/chats with Xfinity agents for over an hour today. Help!

Thank you for reaching out @user_pxbs59 I am sorry to hear you are having this issue. The network the Roku is on has the cable services correct? Or is that just account that has internet?
