Xfinity stream app update on lg tv

This update gas got to be one of the worst! (11/9/2026) Absolutely frustrating enouph to consider changing services. Lost the ability to view only favorite channels. Now i have to scroll through every channel to get to what I want to watch, even the replica channels. Please change this or give an option to roll the update back.

Agreed. We will be switching to DIRECTV if this isn’t fixed almost immediately.

This update is garbage. I can’t resume where I left off at on a show and have to start over

Agreed. I HATE this new update.

* What happened to Scheduled Programs?
* Why can I no longer select and delete multiple recordings at a time???

* What’s with this 10 second rewind and skip forward? The 15 second rewind / 30 second skip forward was MUCH better. (And it no longer works with my arrow keys!) 

Just awful. Prettier, but much less intuitive and functional.

Could not agree more. What a pain! I can no longer verify which shows are scheduled for recording, either.

And this forum won’t scroll in landscape mode on my iPad.

Every “new“ “improved“ “updated“ change Xfinity has forced on us in the last couple of years has been awful, as each one has resulted in the loss of one or more features I enjoyed. This one is, so far, the worst of all. 
I am clinging to something I’ve heard about today’s tech for whatever little hope it provides: upgrades are usually turned on before the bugs have been thoroughly removed. In other words, the company starts running the new version of its software and then figures out what needs work. I didn’t sign up to be a guinea pig, though; I just want to see what I can watch tonight without scrolling through 1000 other channels full of garbage that I will never watch.

Here’s a thought, Xfinity: give us back the old version until this one is fixed and truly ready to go.

user_oircoq With the new Xfinity Stream TV experience, the option to filter the Live TV guide by Favorite Channels is currently unavailable. Favorites are still available on mobile devices, and you can still favorite Sports teams on the TV experience. We know that having to scroll through the full channel guide isn’t a great experience, especially if you’ve already taken the time to set up your favorites. Our team is aware of the issue and is actively working on a solution.

Wow, what an abysmal non-answer.
Xfinity should have debugged the software for issues like this one before launch. Restore the old, functional software for users - PAYING CUSTOMERS - and then take your time getting it right before relaunching.

The recent November 2026 update to the Xfinity Stream TV app removed the option to filter the Live TV guide by Favorite Channels on LG and other Smart TVs. Your saved list is not deleted, and Xfinity confirmed its engineering team is actively working on a fix to restore the feature. 
What Changed in the Update
  • Removed Guide Filter. According to official support responses on the Xfinity Community Forum, the redesigned TV interface removed the ability to filter the Live TV lineup by your saved favorites. [1]
  • Account Data Intact. Your existing favorite channels remain saved on your account and have not been wiped. 
  • Affected Devices. Users on Reddit's r/Comcast_Xfinity and Xfinity forums report the exact same missing filter across LG, Samsung, and Roku Smart TV interfaces. 
  • The November 2026 Xfinity Stream update also removed the "NEW" and "REPEAT" episode badges from the Live TV guide and search results. Users across Smart TVs, iPads, and mobile devices are reporting the exact same stripped-down guide interface. 
    Other Missing Guide & DVR Features
    Along with the missing Favorite Channels filter and episode status tags, users on the Xfinity Community Forum and Reddit's r/Comcast_Xfinity have flagged several other removed tools: 
    • Stripped Program Info. Scrolling through the channel grid now displays only the show title rather than episode descriptions, air dates, or new/repeat indicators.
    • Shorter Skip Intervals. Fast-forwarding and rewinding recordings changed from 30-second jumps to 10-second increments.
    • Removed Smart Resume. Automatic commercial skipping on DVR playback is no longer functioning in the new layout.
    • Missing Playback Progress. Recordings and on-demand shows no longer clearly display where you left off watching.
