Unable to change channels on Xfinity Streaming Beta App by typing in channel number(Samsung TV)
Downloaded Xfinity Streaming Beta App on new Samsung Q60A UHD TV. Most things work but I am unable to change TV channels by typing in a channel number on my Samsung remote control. Also the voice function on the remote does not work(does work with all other apps). I understand there are other ways to change channels within the beta app, but I would like to go directly from channel 802 to channel 301, without scrolling or searching for a channel name elsewhere in the app. Is this functionality available? If yes, will a different remote control work, eg universal remote? Thank you!

Thank you, will contact you for a chat. In the meantime, the best workaround I've found is to select channels at certain increments, like 12, 50, 100, 300, 400, 800, 1000 so they show up in the Recent list. With Samsung Remote, I get 7 of them. The when I need to change from channel 12 to say 810, for example, I can select 800 from the Recents, then use the miniguide and only click up 10 times to get to channel 810.

I have since installed Roku and use it with the Xfinity streaming app. The same issues exist. It would be really helpful to use Voice control to change channels, or have a choice to type in a channel. Thank you.

I cant change channels using the remote. When I hit guide it takes me out of Xfinity streaming and back to the Samsung free channels. I can only view on channel now.
