Xfinity live streaming not working

I have been using my computer to watch live tv via my home wi-fi network.  It had been working

fine until a few days ago.  Now the picture starts and stops, then it crashes and I keep getting error

messages.  This happens on every channel.  Other videos on other sites play with no problem, but Xfinity is unwatchable.

 

I reset the modem, scanned for malware, and uninstalled/reinstalled flashplayer.  I really don't

feel like spending a couple of hours on the phone going through trial and error with a tech.

(done that too many times) but I don't understand why it suddenly stopped working.  Any thoughts?

Hi @baz123

 

Thanks for posting to the forums. I apologize for the experience you're having when attempting to stream your Xfinity TV services. Has this been resolved for you yet? Have you tried what was suggested by @Rustyben to see if this is affecting all of your devices? If so and you are still having issues, please send me a private message with your first and last name so I can begin some troubleshooting to get this resolved. To send a private message click on my name "ComcastChe", then click send a message.

Funny!! About 15 seconds after I posted, it started working! Coincidence? I didn't want to watch The Professional with Jean Reno anyway...

Hello @davez51, thanks for reaching out to our Forums! We definitely want you to enjoy our Xfinity Stream service without constant connection interruptions. Are you also using a desktop/laptop to view? If so, have you attempted to test this on a mobile device to see if you experience the same thing?
