Xfinity Stream not showing local channels

New customer, having issues with local channels.

- https://www.xfinity.com/support/local-channel-lineup/ - this shows me my channel lineup. Okay, that's good.

- Now the issues:

1) https://www.xfinity.com/stream/ (on a browser) - NO LOCAL CHANNELS. I see stuff like AMC, BBC News, NBC News for 11 different cities, Saved by the Bell channel, etc. But no local channels.

2) Xfinity Stream App on Roku - Same channel options as above. No local channels.

3) Xfinity Stream App on iOS - Same channel options as above, but SOMETIMES I get: ABC local, CBS local, and Fox local listed. If I try to watch any of those, I get a "tvapp-00249" error. Other channels (like AMC) work just fine.

For the apps (Roku and iOS), I did uninstall/reinstall numerous times, logged out/back in numerous times, etc. Same result - no local channels.

Search for the Stream App not showing local channels shows this seems to be a common issue. What's the deal with this app? Can I switch to coax to the TV?

Hey @accidentalist, Thank you for visiting our official Xfinity Forums Community support page. We can certainly help assist with the Xfinity Stream App and Xfinity Video services. What specific Xfinity Video package do you subscribe to currently? We do provide our NOW TV service which does not include local channels, but also offer our Choice TV, Popular TV, and Ultimate TV Xfinity Video plans.
