Pausing streaming TV

Not being able to pause streaming TV makes Xfinity look like a 1980s platform. Even in the late 90s I was able to pause TV on Dish Network. I’m not aware of a streaming platform today that does not allow for pausing.

@XfinityChristy​ Thank you for responding.  When I copy and paste your username with or without that "@" sign the auto complete\ search box says no results found.

In my previous post, I showed the chat screen and was not able to find you.  In this post, I will type "xfinitychrist" you use name without the y to show that autocomplete\confirm does not find you.  Hence I cannot send you a Direct Message.  Please see below.

I know that this can seem to be a bit confusing, @Kims23.

You will need to make sure, you sign in before being able to send a Direct Message. 

To send a "Direct Message" message:
• Click "Sign In" if necessary
• Click the "Direct Message" icon
• Click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon
• Type "Xfinity Support" in the "To:" line and select "Xfinity Support" from the drop-down list which appears. The "Xfinity Support" graphic replaces the "To:" line
• Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window
• Press Enter to send it

I no longer work for Comcast.

Pausing and rewind require buffering the video on the device. Many devices do not have much memory available for more than just the typical streaming buffering.
