So then, I would be able to go into firefox/google chrome/etc and then the xfinity app... then scream live tv/everything else that way Xfinity Stream can be used in the home and outside of the home. When using it outside of the home not all of the channels are available. (Xfinity Stream App and Website).   Xfinity Stream App for Roku is in home only.    Comcast does offer a Streaming service in a few select markets and will expand out this year.   Screen mirroring with the Xfinity stream app doesn't work atleast on Android. I haven't tried doing it via web browser.  ... View more

I'd say 70% of the time my experience has been spent receiving 1 of 2 errors. Either I'm not on my home network, which of course I am, how else would I be online? Then the other error being DRM.-6 which I have no idea what this is but it's been the most common one recently.   On the off chance I do get the service to work, it's been fantastic being able to stream live TV in HD or catching up with shows on demand. However that's been few and far in between of frustration of clicking half a dozen times to get to something I want to watch only to receive an error. Then having to exit out and find the app for that network so I can stream it that way. I'd much rather use your app since it's all in one, even with all of its incessant clicking, but it's just not even an option due to errors.  If the app wasn't beta I'd agree with you. It a start in the right direction and one can only hope it gets better before having to pay to use it. Hopefully comcast is reading the feedback and going to fix the issues.  ... View more

Why does the app say I need to be on my home network? I am on my home network! Be sure you are connected to your in-home XFINITY network and not the network called "XFINITYwifi," which is a WiFi hotspot that guests who are XFINITY Internet customers can use, so you don't need to give out your password. If your modem or gateway is provided by XFINITY, the network name is usually on the side or bottom of the modem or gateway. If you're not sure, just give us a call at 1-800-XFINITY , and we can walk you through it. ... View more

@Evergreen19 wrote: Hi Comcast Jessie. This news is extrememly exciting to me since my house is very old and running additional cablts for new outlets is next to impossible; however, I noticed one ENORMOUSLY disappointing note in your updates. That note is that once the beta test concludes and a "full" app is launched, there are going to be standard fees for using this app? So this means that despite the fact that we will have dropped $30-$120 on a Roku device, that we are still not going to avoid the $9.95/ month outlet fee for an additional box? Where is the savings? It was my impression that this app was supposed to have benefits on 2 fronts. The first being the fact that you wouldn't need to run new wires in your house (just use your WiFi instead), and the second being the fact that you'd avoid the $9.95/month rental fee for a box. Once again, this news is very disappointing. I hope Xfinity realizes this and can work out a better structure that actually saves the costumers hassle AND a reasonable amount of money.  Roku Might cost $7.45 per device. Using the roku gives you the option to be able to watch tv anywhere in the home without running wires. Offers to have all the streaming services on one device. Not limited to slow software updates on a normal cable box. Only reason I'm playing around with the app because its free right now. Still needs a lot of work. ... View more

@plummerl wrote: Comcast, this has to be one of the lamest excuses for a BETA, that I have ever seen. If you keep posting updated versions, how about providing some kind of clue about what the new version has either fixed or added. The entire purpose of a BETA is to allow people to test it with some insight into current issues! A simple list of known problems and fixes could actually help you. Comcast will post the info shortly. They did for  1.1.5 if you go back to page 1.  ... View more

The Xfinity app appears to clog up memory/resources, even after I exit the app. Other apps like Netflix stutter and freeze after I've run Xfinity, even if I shut the TV off and restart. Only a complete power cycle (unplug) seems to restore normal operation after using the Xfinity channel. Try refreshing your network connection on your tv.  ... View more

Does anyone have an idea what would cause that?  2) To fix the first problem I thought I may have set a setting wrong so I removed the app the added it back, but now every time we try watching something we get "SORRY SOMETHING WENT WRONG TRY BACK LATER (ERROR DRM.-6)  Does anyone know what the error code means? DRM = digital rights management. If the roku is connected directly to a TV you should not see a DRM message. If it is connected directly to a TV then unplug and reseat the device or cable. If a cable, reseat both ends. To reseat, unplug and plug in the same socket several times. Did that fix the issue? I have 3 roku's and 2 of them always get the DRM error. For some reason with the roku's connected to smart tv's always get the error. I have a dumb 55in and it never gets the DRM error.  ... View more

Think it has something to do with the latest update when some people lost access to HD. I have 2 roku streaming sticks and the priemer and no HD. I get HD on my android phone and website.  ... View more

I just bought a second roku stick and its great out of the box. I was able to stream for 8hrs without any issues. I go back to my orginal roku and after 5 minutes it stops playing I exit out of the app and go back in. try watching tv and I get a DRM-2 error right away. I try to exit out and the roku freezes and I have to unplug power to the roku. I take my orginal roku and try it on another tv and it works great. Took it to another tv it plays for awhile and I get DRM-2 error again. For some reason the roku devices work perfect on a non smart tv. Once I start using the roku on smart tv's I get randsom disconnects and DRM-2 errors.  ... View more

In reading through this post, a question occurred to me, and the post covered it, but not completely. So I will ask this in a bit more detail than it was put in the post.  This was an Issue I had with TvGO way back, and for a while had with XTV, so let's see where this takes me.   Is it so, that IF I unplug my physical Roku Device and travel to anohter city and plug it into a TV and log into a WiFi connect, the Xfinity Beta App will cease to function? Then I can assume that This will only work AT the physical Address on Record for the Comcast Account and nowhere else? Yes the roku app will only work at the address with the service. If you setup a vpn then the roku will work anywhere.  ... View more

I have a cable card and I get HD service free. I get HD channels on my phone and using the tv.xfinity site. I noticed I lost HD channels on my roku after the update. I thought maybe Xfinity blocked it because I wasn't paying for it but I don't know now. I also have one xfinity HD box but I don't get HD channels on it either.  ... View more

It will work if you setup a vpn. The roku will work outside your home then.  ... View more

I noticed on some of the SD channels the picture is small with a black boarder all the way around it. Now and then I'll get a DRM2 error out of no where. Lately I'll be watching a show and the screen goes black and I have three circles in the middle. I'll have to reboot my roku and open the app again and that normally fixes the issue for awhile.  ...
