The iHeartRadio app on X1 will be rated TV-MA - the highest parental control rating available. This will require users who have Parental Controls Locks set on their X1 device to enter a PIN anytime they try to launch the iHeartRadio app.
Note: Once the iHeartRadio app is launched, X1 device parental control settings will not guard against new content searches or playback within the iHeartRadio app.
You can view or change your X1 parental control settings at any time.

Will streaming iHeartRadio on X1 Boxes count towards my monthly Internet data usage?

Why can't I see iHeartRadio content on my X1 TV Box?
If you cannot see iHeartRadio content on your TV, ensure that you have a compatible X1 TV Box (RNG150 devices are not supported) and XFINITY Internet service. If you do not have XFINITY Internet service and attempt to launch the iHeartRadio app, a message will appear that explains how you can subscribe to XFINITY Internet.

If the iHeartRadio app is frozen on your TV screen, exit and re-launch the app. If the app is still frozen, try rebooting your X1 TV Box. If the problem persists, please contact Comcast customer support or visit iHeartRadio Help.
Why are my iHeartRadio stations buffering?
Since iHeartRadio is an Internet application, the iHeartRadio app on X1 works just like iHeartRadio on your computer, which buffers video any time there is a slow Internet connection. If your stations continue to buffer, try rebooting your X1 TV Box. If the problem persists, please contact Comcast customer support or visit iHeartRadio Help.

If you are having trouble navigating the iHeartRadio app on your X1 TV Box, try exiting and re-launching the iHeartRadio app. If you still have trouble navigating, try rebooting your X1 TV Box.
