Xfinity Stream says I'm need to upgrade to watch channels I'm already subscribed to.

Same thing happened to me. Half my channels disappeared overnight, though they are still available on the TV

Same thing happen to us - streaming not working on the Roku or the web based app through chrome on my PC - Just about every channel says we are not subscribed when I know we are - our cable boxes on the other TV's work fine.  It started late last night, so I called Comcast.  

After several frustrating minutes, I was finally able to talk with a real person.  Spent about 1/2 hour troubleshooting with that person, when they escalated my case to someone else.  I was then told there was some kind of an outage and that it would be fixed by midnight - it wasn't.  I went to bed thinking it would hopefully be fixed by morning - 8 hours later it wasn't.

Called again, spent 1 hour troubleshooting with a new person.  They escalated my case again.  Spent another 1/2 hour troubleshooting with the new person.  After several minutes of consulting with others, they decided once again there was an outage.  I was told I would receive a call and an email within the next 24 to 48 hours after they are able to fix this problem and in the meantime we were given a $15 credit on our bill.  They also gave me 2 ticket numbers, one for my individual problem and one for the system wide outage.

I'm not too confident that they even know what the problem is and if they can fix it.  I guess we will see, If I don't hear back or the problem is not resolved in the next 48 hours I will be calling again.

Yeah just noticed the same thing on our DVR about fifteen minutes ago.  No recordings are working on any of the cable channels, while channels like CBS we're able to record on.  Stream app still not working at all.

Thanks - glad it's working for you.

Still no luck on this end for me.  I tried logging out and logging back in on the Roku app and still no luck.  Also the DVR issues where I can't record cable channels still persists.  Going to give it until morning then reach out to Comcast again.

I got a call from comcast at about 2:30 PM.  I was told the outage should be fixed by 10 PM. 

I checked at 8 PM to see if it was back up and both my Roku and the web based app were working - everything seems to be back to normal. 

If it's still not working for you, try logging out and logging back in.  Good Luck.

I logged out and then in on the web based app on my PC 1st...  Here's a link if you haven't tried that...

After logging back in, I went to LiveTV and made sure my channels were working there.  Then I logged out and back in on the Roku app and tested to make sure those channels were working.  Might be worth a shot to see if that works for you. 

We never use the DVR functions so I don't know if that's working or not on our end, so that could be causing your problem.  Hope you get it working.

Exact same thing has happend to us! I try logging out from the Roku, but it din't work! 

By the looks of it, I should just wait ... I do not have the patience or the time to stay hours with customer service!! 

Having the same issue starting Friday 11/20/2020.  I was on hold for the 2nd tier Tech Support for almost an hour wait (twice!) to be told that they are aware of the this problem and the the engineers are working on it!  YES the first tier tech support could not tell me that! had to wait for an hour for the 2nd Tier Support to tell me that.

Anyways, one user reported that remove and re-install the app solved the problem.  Anyone else had luch with this? 

Now I'm being told that they have an advanced repair team that will be contacting me but they  do not work on the weekends so I will have to wait until tomorrow to get a call back.

I did a factory reset of my Roku and reinstalled the app and still nothing. I just logged onto my Xfinity account and it shows that I only get 14 channels. Check out your channel lineup and see if you have the same issue.

Im having the same issue.  Xfinity Streaming Services will only stream the basic cable package (ie ABC, CBS, NBC, etc) when I pay for a much more expansive service lineup.  It is currently not serving all my subscribed channels on a Win10Pro computer through www.xfinity.com/stream via Chrome or Edge browsers; Roku Ultra box via the Xfinity Stream beta App; or Apple Iphone via the Xfinity stream AppStore app. But I am able to view all my subscribed to channels on the rented X1 Xfinity Cable box.

I have reset the X1 cable box and reset my Xfinity ISP modem/router to no avail.  Customer service sent a refresh signal and said to wait an hour, but that did not solve the issue either.  The root cause seems to be the Xfinity Streaming service not reading my paid for subscribtion and after reading this post, it seems to be affecting many more customers than just myself.   Guess we just have to wait for Xfinity to get their programers to resolve the technical glitch/error.

Update:

After another phone call today and another incident ticket, I'm finally back online with all the streaming apps. Roku, online and phone app!! They told me today it was a nationwide outage and it should be fixed in 24 hours. Hopefully this is to stay 🙂

So still no luck.  After calling in twice and not being able to get through to a live person I tried going through chat, who decided they wanted a tech to come out to the house.

I'm not having a tech come out a disrupt everything when everybody in the house either works or attends school remotely right now -- especially since this a problem affecting so many people that it can't be something a tech is going to be able to do anything on site.

Guess we'll just wait and see for now - others on Reddit have seemed to indicate that the issue needs an advanced support team that doesn't work on weekends so who knows.
