Hello, I am not finding the Message option. Please send me a message and I'll respond. Thanks!

For sure, this is exactly what's happening. The need for cable tv is dwindling fast. Even Comcast has its own service Peacock. The gig is up.

comc25 · ‎03-05-2021

From a consumer perspective, that's such a failed model and why millions cancel cable tv every year. Majority of content is available on streaming and most people only want a few channels.

comc25 · ‎03-04-2021

Why must we have all these channels or no channels at all? Is there any way cut out all the other channels? My family streams everything else.

comc25 · ‎02-25-2021

The goal is to get you on Discovery+. Eventually, those tv channels will cease to exist in a few years.

comc25 · ‎02-22-2021

Most TBS, TNT, TruTv content is already on or moving to HBO Max.

comc25 · ‎02-18-2021

Most CN content is moving to HBO Max. Linear cable TV channels are slowly dying out.

comc25 · ‎02-14-2021

Flex can only be used with the rented xFi modem. So you're forced to pay $14/mo for the modem in order to get the 'free' Flex box. Ripoff. I just use Chromecast and my own modem.

comc25 · ‎02-07-2021

I noticed the same. I must say other than that, the app is great. Definitely expect these to be added within next few months.

comc25 · ‎02-07-2021

You're not alone. The all or nothing channel approach is only causing more and more people to cancel cable in favor of streaming (HBO Max, Netflix, Discovery+, Disney+, etc). This is what's causing the continuous rate increases and it'll only get worse.

comc25 · ‎02-07-2021

Nothing to do with Comcast. Discovery wants people to get content directly from them instead of going through cable. Only a matter of time before the channels cease to exist in favor of Discovery+

comc25 · ‎01-25-2021

Everything. Internet streaming is replacing cable before our eyes. Netflix, HBO Max, Peacock, Paramount Plus, Disney Plus, Discovery Plus. NBCSN (among the top 40 most watched channels) will be the first of many live tv channels shutting down over next few years.

comc25 · ‎01-23-2021

Cable continues its slow death..

comc25 · ‎01-10-2021

Same could be said for MSNBC and CNN for others. Yet another reason why we need a la carte channels but they refuse. Cable is dying.

comc25 · ‎01-09-2021

Take it up with the HOA. They should allow you to choose your provider. There will only be more options in the future.

comc25 · ‎01-03-2021

Mostly the sports networks and a few others. What channels are you looking for?

comc25 · ‎01-02-2021

You’re better off rewiring. Can only use the wireless box if you get the xFi modem which you have rent at $14+/mo for now until they increase it yet again (can’t buy your own xFi modem). Unless it’s extremely difficult, just run the wire.

comc25 · ‎01-02-2021

Are you using the HDMI out on same box for another TV as well?

comc25 · ‎01-01-2021

You’re better off subscribing to HBO Max. They have the TCM content there and it’s much more valuable than what you get in the Sports&Entertainment package.

comc25 · ‎12-29-2020

I had this issue as well. SOLUTION: sign out then sign back in. Use the code on the TV and your laptop.

comc25 · ‎12-28-2020

I’m assuming you mean your own modem. Yes. For those who still rent their modems, buy your own.

comc25 · ‎12-26-2020

Flex isn’t really ‘free’ because you must rent their modem ($14+/month) in order to use it. Many customers buy their modem outright for about $100 to avoid that fee but that would prevent them from using Flex. The ‘free’ stream apps will eventually have a monthly charge in a couple years as has been mentioned by Comcast.

comc25 · ‎12-26-2020

Most IMDBtv content is on Prime Video as they’re both owned by Amazon.

comc25 · ‎12-26-2020

I’d assume all the content is moving to Paramount Plus in the coming months. Check out their website for an idea of what they’ll have. https://www.cbs.com/all-access/

comc25 · ‎12-26-2020

If you have DVR, the XG1v4 is the best option. Call/go to local office and request that.

comc25 · ‎12-26-2020

‘Internet’ usually means that the movie/show is being streamed through an app such as Tubi/Netflix/HBOMax/ParamountPlus/PlutoTV.

comc25 · ‎12-26-2020

You don’t have to move anything. Just sign in on X1. Disney Plus arrives within next few months. No exact date.

comc25 · ‎12-23-2020

I'm experiencing this today. Assuming this is widespread.

comc25 · ‎12-23-2020

Discovery content will be on the streaming service, so eventually why have the channels at all? If all they watch is Discovery, then why pay for cable at that point??

comc25 · ‎12-21-2020

Go to the local store or call and get the box swapped. This should be easy.

comc25 · ‎12-18-2020

Get the CBS All Access app. All content is moving there. For streaming on your device, get Xfinity Stream app at no additional cost.

comc25 · ‎12-17-2020

These streaming services are the beginning of the end for the linear channels.

comc25 · ‎12-16-2020

It’s live today. Great interface I must say. Much smoother than Hulu and Peacock.

comc25 · ‎12-15-2020

OAN is quickly growing and will likely get a spot within the next few years on the lineup or through an app on X1. Expect it to happen much sooner if Trump buys the network as has been rumored as possible.

comc25 · ‎12-15-2020

The rumor is tomorrow- 12/16 - for X1.

comc25 · ‎12-15-2020

Yes but there will be original shows there as well. Plus option for no commercials. Expect it in mid 21 at best.

comc25 · ‎12-14-2020

Major sports networks: MLB, NHL, NBA, NFL, Tennis, CBS Sports Network, FS2, ESPNEWS, ESPNU, NFL Redzone, and then other random channels TCM, CMT, C&I. Not worth it in my opinion as much of it is fluff. Much of the major events are already on your local networks or NBCSN, FS1, ESPN. Only if NFL Redzone or college football is a must for you. Otherwise, I'd call and drop it ASAP.

comc25 · ‎12-14-2020

Yep! For those keeping track, the Broadcast TV fee started as $1.00 and Regional Sports fee started at $3.00 a few years ago. Cable is dying. Comcast LOSES on average roughly 4,000 cable tv customers a DAY. They are gaining with internet customers. https://www.fiercevideo.com/cable/comcast-lost-477-000-video-subscribers-q2

comc25 · ‎12-14-2020

We can only hope.

comc25 · ‎12-14-2020

That box is over 10 years old. Get an X1 box ASAP. Shouldn’t be any price difference. You’re using an interface developed in the 90s.

comc25 · ‎12-13-2020

Not worth it! Smithsonian Channel and American Heroes Channel is what you're looking for as far as cable is concerned.

comc25 · ‎12-13-2020

Major sports networks: MLB, NHL, NBA, NFL, Tennis, CBS Sports Network, FS2, ESPNEWS, ESPNU, NFL Redzone, and then other random channels TCM, CMT, C&I. Not worth it in my opinion as much of it is fluff. Much of the major events are already on your local networks or NBCSN, FS1, ESPN. Only if NFL Redzone or college football is a must for you. Otherwise, I'd call and drop it ASAP.

comc25 · ‎12-13-2020

C'mon man: https://corporate.comcast.com/press/releases/comcast-launch-disney-espn-xfinity-platforms As I said on 10/23/19: Netflix is on Comcast equipment. Amazon Prime Video is on Comcast equipment. YouTube is on Comcast equipment. Will only be a matter of time for Disney Plus. It’s essential to both Disney and Comcast that this happens. Online streaming is replacing cable and Comcast will do anything they can to keep their internet customers happy. The goal is to keep customers on Comcast equipment for everything. Look into Xfinity Flex. This is their response to Roku, Amazon Fire stick, etc. Cable is dead.

comc25 · ‎12-13-2020

Yep, me too. Its very clear but the colors are off.

comc25 · ‎12-13-2020

Highly doubtful. Remember when they said 'coming soon' in May?

comc25 · ‎12-13-2020

More than a name change. Other content will be integrated as well.

comc25 · ‎12-11-2020

This will be separate as with Netflix, Hulu etc. We’ll also see Paramount Plus debut in ‘21 as well. Regular cable is quickly falling.

comc25 · ‎12-11-2020

Great to hear. Hopefully HBO Max will around that time as well.

comc25 · ‎12-06-2020

They've been teasing it all year. What's taking so long for the app?

comc25 · ‎11-22-2020

We were told back in May that it'd be "coming soon" plus X1 has been advertising it for months as well. I pay for HBO Max through Comcast yet unable to watch? This wait is insane.
