Fox News not working on stream

Stream is the worst app. I can't watch Fox News on stream and I'm unable to login to the Fox News app with an Xfinity login.

This is rediculous. Why do I have to pay full price if they won't fix this?

Hello @sewdan thank you so much for contacting our Xfinity Support Team. I understand that you're experiencing issues with our Xfinity Stream app and I am more than happy to help. Are you getting an error message/code when trying to watch Fox news?

"Sorry, your Xfinity account is not authorized to view this content." New message this morning. What's going on?

@Jawnn Looking at "My Account," it seems as if Fox News has been moved to a more-expensive package. (Weren't there a couple of California politicians who urged service providers to do this?) To see what I'd need to do, how much more I'd have to pay, I was told I'd have to chat with a representative. At that point I bailed, and began streaming Newsmax.

Same issue here. Several channels in my package and available on X1 TV box are not authorized to stream on the Xfinity app nor the channel app itself (e.g. Fox News).

We have identified and fixed the issue where some customers were unable to view linear channels on the Stream app on third-party devices (Roku, smart TVs, mobile devices, etc.), as well as on All IP accounts/Xfinity Flex devices.Also, in some cases, information was missing from the on-screen guide.

 

This has now been resolved. If you are still experiencing trouble please try deleting the app from the device and reinstalling it should fix the issue.

Well, I don't know what happened or who did what, but when I tried again about an hour ago (3PM EDT), Fox News came right up as usual. Nice to have it back!

We are upgrading our services and a technician is coming out Sunday to install new boxes.  However I am unable to stream FOX News anymore.  A message states I am not authorized.  If I lose this service we will have to go back to our old service

Same problem here. Just on Fox News. I take my laptop to our Wisconsin lake house which has a different provider and I have no problem. I found a work around. I have a VPN that I usually only use while shopping. If I activate the VPN the problem goes away.
