Xfinity stream IOS mobile app version 7.18

Recently the mobile app on our iPads upgraded from 7.17 to 7.18.  We use this app to cast to our tv.  The new app is not allowing us access to local channels. (Fox, CBS, NBC).  The old app allowed us access and only blocked Phillies games when they were playing at home.   We can still watch comedycentral, etc.  We uninstalled the app and reinstalled. That did not fix.  I have the app on my android phone and I can still get the local channels (version 8.5)

@user_trs3p6 Thank you for keeping us posted so we can continue helping. Do you get an error message when you try to access the channels? Are you connected to your in-home Xfinity network when this happens?

We are at home but the tv service is billed under our 2nd home.  We only have xfinity Internet at our home where we are trying to use the app. It always worked before until the new version

This is the issue. Before the latest update it worked fine. Now it doesn't. Look at all the posts. 
We shouldn't have to use wi fi to use a streaming service on our phones or tablets. That defeats the purpose of a streaming service. 
this is getting frustrating that xfinity won't admit the last update caused this or that they are working to fix this error asap.
