Xfinity Stream App on Fire TV does not show local channels

Hi,

I recently purchased a new Fire TV and downloaded the Xfinity Stream app. It is being used on out-of-home WiFi, and does not show ABC or NBC on the TV Go section. I have a second Fire TV, also on out-of-home WiFi, and the Xfinity Stream app has always had ABC and NBC on the TV Go section. It also works on my iPhone Xfinity Stream app, so it is clearly not a location, WiFi, or operating system issue. The ABC and NBC apps on the TV work and allow me to watch those channels when logging into my Xfinity account, but I shouldn't need to use 3 apps to watch TV. I have tried deleting both the NBC and ABC apps, as well as uninstalling and reinstalling the Xfinity Stream app.

It’s embarrassing that this is your response. Did you even read my post?

For troubleshooting purposes, how many devices are using the Xfinity Stream app on networks that are not the in-home WiFi network @user_jhum5c? At this time, there can be five concurrent streams across all account devices for customers with our X1 services. Only three of these devices can be off the customer’s in-home WiFi network.

 

You mentioned ABC and NBC are not available in the TV Go section, are you able to view other programs in the TV Go section?

Yes. Those are the only channels I can’t access of normal TV Go options. Like I said, my second fire TV shows ABC and NBC on TV Go and it’s out of home on the same WiFi that the new TV is on

I’m having the same exact issue. Spent over four hours on the phone with Xfinity. No resolution. We now have to use an HDMI cable from another device to get those channels on our Fire tv. Unacceptable support from Xfinity.

I too am having the exact same issue as you.  ABC and NBC are missing from just one Fire TV.  I have to use an antenna to get them now.  They were previously working fine on the tv up until a few months ago.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Stream app and it made no difference.  I really think there is some kind of issue with the Stream app and certain models of the Fire TV.  In my case, it is a Toshiba model number 43C350KU.  All of a sudden, ABC and NBC disappeared from the channel list.  The channels show up fine on my pc, android phone, Fire Stick, and a different model Fire tv.  This is really crazy.  They need to overhaul this app.

Hello user_bd2930 we hank you for taking the time and adding your experience to the conversation. Is this happening only with the TV GO section and only when on out-of-home Wi-Fi?  Is the ABC/NBC cnent available via n-demand, or is this blocked as well?
