I have CNN on my TV at home, but when I try to login online toCNN and watch it live. it gives me an error stating I do not have a subscription. I called support line and they said my package must be old because it doesn't show those channels listed for me. I have always had CNN and a few others...
Help!

If that does not work, try using a different web browser and let me know if it works. This is not a permanent solution but it will help us narrow down your issue.
Let me know the results.

hbo go works fine for me.
I tried uninstalling/reinstallin app....tried directly from cnn.com webpage on different computers same issue....
07-03-2012 11:48 PM
truTV is another one I get at home on my TV but says I need a subscription on the xfinity site. when I follow the link for the error it takes me to xfinity to sign up for a upgraded cable package.

So to answer your question fully... the channels I get at home that do not work on liveTV are CNN, TruTV, Comedy Channel.
The ones that work on liveTV are Animal Planet, Food Network, A&E, AMC, CW... All the others are on the basic cable package and work fine (like abc, nbc, cbs, fox).
Thanks,

pazzagatto,
There are only five live channels available on xfinity.com/tv as of 7/5/12: CNN, HLN, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU.
So only CNN, TruTV, and Comedy Central do not work online? These channels work on your TV and you can get to their On Demand content through your box but you are getting an orange key when trying to watch online?
jpm777,
Are you referring to the XFINITY TV App or xfinity.com/tv?

I am referring to CNN app. I am also referring to cnn.com where I should be able to choose comcast and enter credential and watch live cnn.
On Xfinity.com/tv under live channel I see only ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU and no CNN or HLN when I log in.

Also http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/cvptve/cvpstream1 when I log in with comcast account I get the error.

in is one way to get to cnn (and the others as well). Also http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/cvptve/cvpstream1 when I log in with comcast account I get the error.
We are currently having some issues with CNN and HLN and have removed them while we fix them. I will update you when they have been added.
Sorry for the inconvenience,

Hi all,
CNN is now working properly. Please try watching it now and let me know if you are still having issues.
EDIT (7/12 12:00 PM EST): I jumped the gun. We are still seeing some issues. This will be resolved shortly. I will keep you up-to-date. Sorry.

Does Comcast ever intend to fix this error?
I've been having the same issue for MONTHS. Finally got around to contacting Comcast 2 weeks ago & I've gotten nothing but the run-around since.
Your online chat "Technical Support" are useless & after contacting them 3-4 times I finally called. After calling 2-3 times & always getting a different answer, I got someone who said they'd submit a trouble ticket and I would get a call back. I finally get a phonecall today at work (even though they asked when to call & I said at night after 6) & you tell me that even though I have CNN I don't have the correct "package" and that I can call sales to upgrade what I have.
Nowehere on the CNN site does it say it has to be a particular package. It clearly states as plain as day that if you have CNN you can watch it on your iPhone or iPad. I have a subscription to Comcast, I have CNN...WHAT IS THE PROBLEM???
I've Googled this & many people are having the same issue (that's how I found this thread) & Comcast keeps saying they're working on an issue, but here it is and no issue is in sight.
I need a resolution ASAP. DirecTV or Dish Net is looking better each & every day.

Hi- I started having the same problem a yesterday. After months of watching CNN on my iPad via the CNN app, know get an XFinity message that I need to upgrade my subscription services. This is inaccurate and I've verified with Comcast that I do and should be receiving the CNN channel... I can login through the HBO app with out any problems- this is a sudden problem with CNN and Disney apps.

Try logging out of the apps and then sign in again. Now try watching CNN or Disney.
If that does not work, try deleting the apps and then install it again.
These methods work as a refresh of sorts and can resolve this problem.

I have already deleted and reinstalled the CNN app; the problem continues. I am not sure what you mean by "logging out" of them, as I can't log in properly. I'm prompted to login about half the anyway- leads me to believe that the logout is automatic after a certain amount of time being inactive. I will try the reinstall process with the Disney app, but, as I said, have had o luck doing that with the CNN app. My OS is also updated.

User CCCarole has wrote step-by-step instructions on how to send and read private messages:
At the top of each Forum page you will see a small white envelope. This is the icon for Private Messages, referred to as ‘PM’s’. A Private Message is a way to communicate in private, to another User, Moderator, or Administrator out of public viewing the Forums.
The white envelope turns to yellow when you receive a PM.
To open a PM to read it, double click on the yellow envelope. If you click on the white envelope a window will open with tabs for your Private Message Inbox, Sent Messages, Friends, Ignored Users, and Compose new Message. You can also access this area by clicking on the Username in a Thread or post. By default, Private Messages are enabled. You can disable this feature in My Settings>Preferences> Private Messenger.
