Xfinity Stream website only streaming in DVD quality on "HD" video

I only get something that looks like 480p out of HD videos on Xfinity Stream website (except on the "Live TV" section which does seem to display about 720p), definitely not HD as advertised. It used to play in HD years ago but hasn't worked in the past 2 years at least. I have the high quality option selected and both my PC and internet connection are perfectly capable of streaming HD. Have tested on multiple PCs and multiple browsers and I am waiting for video to fully load (it looks extremely low quality before it does).

@goatytimes Hi there, thank you for taking the time to reach out to Xfinity Community Forum for help. I am sorry to hear you have been experiencing issues with your Xfinity Stream app, and it would be my pleasure to help. We have been dealing with some known issues regarding the app, but if you have had this issue for 2 years it may not be related. When you say you have tried multiple PCs is that all you've tried? Have you tried a cell phone or tablet, to see if the picture shows a bit clearer on something other than a PC?

Yes the videos will play in HD on iPhone and through the cable box. The Xfinity Stream website is where I'm having the problem, not an app. There is no app available for PC from what I understand.
