xfinity stream app missing local tv

Hi, I have used the old xfinity beta app for a few years to watch local channels on a Roku TV.  Since they upgraded to the "xfinity stream" app, all local channels are gone from the available live tv section.  I can find them on the phone app listed as "tvgo" and it will stream them but they do not show up on the Roku app.

What changed?  If I can't get my local channels I don't need the service.

I too noticed this yesterday. Can't seem to find anything saying why we now do not have access to those channels. It's the only way I watch xfinity tv and I also need them in order to continue my service.

Having similar issue with Xfinity Stream on my iPad over the past two weeks.   Not only can I not get the local channels, the channel lineup doesn’t even match my cable lined up. Customer support has not been of any help

Same issue. Called xfinity who tried to do a reset. Didn’t work. Called back, tech support finally told me it was a “national issue” with xfinity. Hope it gets fixed soon since I’m missing out on some preset recorded programs. I’m just glad I kept my cable box. It’s the only way to get local channels. I have a Roku tv.

As of this morning 8/21/22 in South-Central PA, the Stream web portal, the app for my Android phone, and the Partner Device (formerly "beta") apps for my Roku and my Samsung TV seem to be working normally again. Broadcast stations are back, and the wacky channel numbers have returned to the correct numbers.

Hello, @user_47b36e. Thank you for reaching out about your missing channels. I'd like to look into why you're not able to watch your local channels. Is this happening on your cable boxes as well as the streaming app or just the streaming app?

I have been on both chat and talk with Xfinity for over a couple of hours in past couple of days. (I wanted to stream the NFL playoffs) Nothing changed and it still didn't work. They say they will call you back to see if the the issue has been resolved.  They don't call.

Mine disappeared in the Xfinity Stream app for my phone and Roku as of last night. Makes no sense. Has anyone had resolution and if so, what did you do?

The channel line up on my Roku disappeared last night and has not shown up.  I am in Louisiana, so it looks like a Xfinity national problem due to the posts.

I spent 2+ hours in chats and on the phone with xfinity support this afternoon without any resolution yet. One rep did acknowledge it was a known issue.

I just checked my Roku (2:55PM central time) and all of the channels are now live and working.  Hope they keep working.

I am now 3 1/2 hours with chat and live agents, the last chat agent just dropped after asking me to reboot my modem, and no change. I am obviously frustrated.

Hello, @user_853683. I hope you're having a great Saturday so far. I'm sorry to see you had difficulties with the stream app even after troubleshooting with us. Have you been able to get the app to work since then?

Xfinity support has no clue on issues but supposedly higher up in the chain of tech support they are aware.   I put in information about the fact that not all my channels were available.  They finally did get that fixed but then I could only watch live tv on stream and not the browse section.    After another couple of weeks, they got the browse section working but the video and audio are not synced after a few minutes of play and I still have issues with that.  In addition,  I am having issues with the fact that several of my channels and random shows via stream are subscription only though they are a part of my package.  One of these days, they may get their act together and get it fixed.   In the meantime, I keep asking for credits to be applied to my account.      Heck, my connection keeps dropping off regularly all day long, in and out.  They have never been able to get that fixed either.

@user_df19fe​ Same issue here. Most of my channels (including all of my local channels) disappeared from both the Roku app and the Apple TV App. Same channels were removed from both. All of this happened overnight 11/22-23, discovered 11/23. Spent a few hours with the customer service line 11/23 and they said it was escalated. "You'll receive an update before this day over", he said. Yeah right. I realize this agent was not the one that was going to give me an update, but come on. The Stream app on our phones has all of our channels on it, so this seems to be an issue with specific devices like Apple TV and Roku.

Hopefully everyone will get back up and running soon.  I didn't reboot my modem, but I did sign out of the xfinity app and rebooted my roku several hours before it started working.  I am not sure if that had anything to do with fixing the problem.

I am glad to hear that your Roku is working once again @user_602043. We do recommend restarting the devices after a problem but it is not required. It helps to ensure all of the system files from our end are up to date. Is this fixed for anyone else in the thread or still ongoing?
