How to Access Free this Week via Xfinity Stream on Fire TVs?

We have Xfinity Internet, Xfinity Cable for a TV, and Xfinity Mobile for Android Phones. I can access the Free this Week network on my Cable TV, but NOT on my Fire TVs at home (hard wired to our Xfinity Internet) or Mobile Devices, via the Xfinity Stream App.  I have spent hours trying to solve this, and another 30 minutes navigating this forum to ask this question. This is VERY frustrating!

Hey there user_hzfeme! I'm definitely glad to hear you're informed about taking advantage of the free offerings from Xfinity week to week, and appreciate you coming to us with the problems you were having with it! To access Free this Week via Xfinity Stream on Fire TVs, follow these steps:

  1. Ensure you have an Xfinity subscription and the Xfinity Stream app installed on your Amazon Fire TV.
  2. Sign in to the app using your Xfinity ID and password.
  3. Once logged in, navigate to the **Featured** row to find the special collection of content available for Free this Week.

Note that most content can be viewed both in and out of the home, but some may be restricted to in-home viewing only. If you run into issues at any point through these steps, please let me know where 👍

Thank you. I can tell you its step #3 that is failing.  I can see all my DVR recordings, activity, and get live TV via Xfinity Streaming on my Fire TVs and Mobile Devices. So what is missing in my experience, as I stated in my original post, is the Free This Week DOES NOT show up on the Featured Section of my Xfinity Stream.  So I need further guidance from Xfinity.

user_hzfeme Thank you for confirming you are using those steps. Have to checked to make sure your Stream app is up to date? Sometimes, missing content can be related to the app version.

Good morning @user_hzfeme. Per our engineering team, free this week is available on the STB, and for most content should be available on Stream, however not all content will be available on stream, and may not be available across all platforms. Looking at what has been made available the last few weeks, not a lot was promoted for Stream, it was X1, Flex, and XUMO boxes.
