XfinityTV Mobile Apps

Does the Xfinity TV app work fully with the new iPad (3rd gen)?  My iphone and iPad2 work fine - playnow and "anyplay" on my iPad 2.  Only the AnyPlay works on the new iPad, playnow options do not.  All networking settings etc look to be the same on the new iPad as the iPad2.

What message are you getting when trying to watch videos on your iPad 3?

Go to the settings tab in the Xfinity Tv App and click History. Clear all your history within the app and then try again.

Also, what video are you trying to watch?

I am having the same trouble on the new iPad.  Tried your recommendation and it didn't work.  Same message.

how many devices do you have authorized on your account, you can only have 3 if your trying to add one past that limit that might be your problem. if you click the tv tab at the top of this page then go to on your tv and manage devices what do you see there?  You can try deleting what's there and then setting it back up again.

used the DNS 8.8.8.8 (from other posts about not working on iPads) and it now works.  Strange as this worked on my iPad2 just fine.

looks like clearing the devices and removing the app, then restarting my iPad before reinstalling it did the trick.

This worked for me.

DNS 8.8.8.8 did not work for me.  I wonder if this is a regional thing and wonder even more why Comcast cannot get this fixed.

Have you tried clearing your history as noted above?

As posted in another thread, I have gone through the following steps (mulitple times):  cleared history, removed device, reinstalled app and rebooted the iPad.  The two suppported cable boxes are recognized by the app but neither will operate using the iPad. I made sure that they were "active" under the settings and when I test it, I get "Request Error.  An unknown error has occurred during thei request.  Please try again" and it still does not work when I try again.  When I test the cable box through the Comcast site, I get an Error Code 404.

When you said you removed the device, where did you do that from?

Please try watching a video from a different wireless network and see if it works. This is not a permanent solution but it will help us narrow down your issue.

Also, just to be sure, you cleared the app history in the Xfinity TV App under Settings > History > Clear all History and not your iPad's Safari history?

No other wireless network available at my home.  Yes, cleared history in the TV app and not Safari.
