Xfinity TV App on Samsung Smart TV

Did this ever happen?? https://customer.comcast.com/help-and-support/xfinity-apps/xfinity-tv-samsung-smart-tv/ I just purchased a new Samsung Smart Tv and the app isn't in their app store as far as I can tell. Just curious if Comcast/xfinity had a falling out with samsung or what is going on.  The HBO-Go app doesn't work either because Comcast doesn't Authorize it on a samsung smart tv.  Funny though, Verizon Fios and Time Warner both do...

JC,Thanks for your post. I, too, recently spent the good part of 4 days contacting Comcast when my internet and cable were mysteriously out for DAYS, without any weather disturbance or explanation. Never got an explanation. And now I find myself in the seemingly unfortunate position of having just purchased a Samsung 'Smart' TV. So, let me get this straight, Comcast releases a statement on April 08, 2014 at 11:40 PM that states: XFINITY TV on Samsung Smart TV is an XFINITY On Demand-only service, available for download from the SMART Hub on Samsung Smart TVs. The XFINITY TV on Samsung Smart TV service provides our XFINITY TV customers the ability to search and watch XFINITY On Demand programming on their Samsung Smart TV without a set-top box. But it's not true???!?!??!?? Except on a few 2012 models? Why release a statement in 2014, then? I wish it were unbelievable, but it's not; it's Comcast. We deserve better. Unfortunately, our options are so limited that none of the providers have any incentive to actually provide us with meaningful service. Worse yet, we are being misled.  Just an FYI, I have heard that ATT Uverse now has wireless 'set-top' boxes.

  • I bought a 3tb Time Capsule and would like to stream movie from it to my Samsung Smart TV.  Do I need Apple TV or Another App?

    TC is not a media device.. it has no media smarts at all.
    And Apple TV is not a media player .. it is strictly a streamer.
    Apple have built their entire media system around itunes.. so without itunes running on a computer nothing will happen.
    The TC is unsuitable as location for your iTunes library as well.. you are simply slowing down the access to the library and making streaming more prone to glitches.
    TC is for TM backups.
    Use your Mac with iTunes library on an external hard disk if it is too big to fit in the internal disk.
    The samsung TV cannot use the TC either because it needs a DLNA server extension on the storage.
    There is however one way.. and not recommending it.. just saying it can be done.
    Depending on how your media files are formatted.. you can use a WD live TV.
    Because WD TV is a full media player and can play raw media files (almost any format) directly from a media source without DLNA, you can play your movie files.. but IMHO it is much easier to simply get a WD MyCloud or any cheap NAS.. that has built in DLNA media server.. almost all do.. and then your TV can play the media directly without any other player.

  • Samsung Smart TV FiOS App not working

    I have a new Samsung Smart TV with the Verizon FiOS app installed, and its not working.  When i attempt to start the app, i get the error "unable to fetch data, please exit the application and relanch".  Exiting and relanching the app does no good.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app 3 times, and it is stil not fixed  I updated the TV's software, then uninstalled and reinstalled the app, and its still not working.  I contacted Samsung customer service, and they could not get the app to work either.  if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.  Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Need to try shutting off TV and starting again.
    And you may be low on memory on your Samsung.  Samsung doesn't make it easy to manage the memory other than by deleting some unused apps.

  • Radio feature for Samsung Smart TV App

    Hello, I would like to be able to start a radio station from the Samsung Smart TV application.  

    I signed up for Spotify Premium for two reasons.
    1. Mobile Radio Feature 
    2. No commercials  
    I have happily used the radio feature on my computer and on my phone, but have found that it's not available on my Samsung TV app.  I'm sure that there are contractual and technical reasons for this, but can anyone at Spotify tell me if attempts are being made to make the radio feature available on the Samsung TV app?  
    I work from home and use this app often, so listening to the same play lists over and over get's tedious. I can make and playlists with my iTunes account with no commercials for free which is making it very difficult for me to justify continuing to pay for Spotify Premium.    

  • How can I watch itunes purchases on my samsung smart tv?

    I received a nice Samsung Smart TV as a Christmas gift and I have a couple unwatched movies I purchased on iTunes that I'd like to be able to watch on my TV as I do with the HBO Go, NetFlix, Amazon apps on my Samsung TV, etc. Is there an app I can download to watch iTunes purchases just as I watch Netflix et al? Before I had my smart TV or blu ray players with Netflix and Amazon I used to just connect my MacBook pro to my HDTV, but I feel like this method is quited outmoded now and was hoping for a different solution...
    I know people will likely suggest purchasing Apple TV, but I don't see the point when I only own a couple iTunes movies/TV shows and already have a smart TV and two blu ray players with Netflix et al. Also, what else is Apple TV good for that my Smart TV and blu ray players and MacBook pro cannot do?
    Would be great if they'd just develop an app that I can install on my smart TV, even if I had to pay a little bit for it... it's much preferable and easier than buying yet another overlapping product.
    Thanks in advance for your feedback!

    There is an amazing FREE server named Plex.  Go to the website and install the app on your MacBook.  Now open the app and follow the instructions to select your movie folder.  You would want to select your iTunes movie folder in this instance.  You can select a different folder for TV shows.  You can also select more than one folder for each category.  Now while plex matches your movies with MetaData and cover art etc, go to your TV app store and install plex.  Follow through the instructions and add your IP to Plex on your TV.  And there you go, wirelessly streams your contact over your internal network!  It works great I have used this for a long time.

  • Connecting Samsung Smart Tv to play Live TV on Mac

    I have a new Un60HU8550 Samsung Smart Tv, it has the capability to broadcast live TV, or whatever is playing on the screen wirelessly within the network to samsung smartphones, windows phones and iPhones. Does anyone know if there is some work around to make this happen on my Mac. When ever I search for this all I come up with is people wanting to get their TV to see their Mac, the opposite of what I'm looking to do. Samsung's App is called Smart View, but not available for Mac. I tried running it in parallels in windows 8.1, the TV shows up in the list to connect, but never connects, only comes up with network error and then the Tv disappears from the list and have to close the program and reload and the same thing happens again. I hope I was able to describe this properly. I'm not trying to see my Mac on the TV just to clarify, I want to see my TV on my Mac. I know there must be a way to do it. I would appreciate any help, and thank you in advance.

    Update: I have Mavericks 10.9.4

  • HT4437 Can I use an Ipad to watch HBOGO or Showtime Anytime and/or can I stream these videos to a Samsung Smart TV?

    I'm planning to purchase an Ipad in the next week or so. I'm trying to find out if I can use the Ipad to connect to HBOGO or Showtime or Netflix to watch videos from these services. Additionally I would like to know if I can output these videos from the Ipad to another monitor such as a Samsung Smart TV?

    1) yes,  if you have a cable subscription to those services.
    2) no,  the apps don't allow video out.

  • Playing videos and other content from my Lenovo Tab A8 to my Samsung SMART TV

    Hi,I've a Lenovo Tab A8. I also bought a Samsung SMART TV recently. I want to connect my Tab to my TV so that I can share and watch the Tab's contents on the large screen wirelessly. I tried many different apps but they did not help. Is there anyway this can be done? Would be great if you can let me know. Thanks Tashfin

    On my A7-30, I turn on my Screen Mirror function on my TV and then turn on the "Cast Screen" function on my phone. It will then connect.

  • I wish to display slideshows and photos from my ipad air onto my 2014 samsung smart tv

    I have an ipad air, and have just purchased a 2014 samsung smart tv. I have a wireless network, am I able to connect directly through the wireless router or do I have to have either the app smartview 2.0 or appletv?  If I can do it directly through the wireless router to the tv what  do I need to do on the Ipad.?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    If you want to do it Wirelessly, you need something that can receive the wireless signal. such as an Apple Tv or Chromecast yes.
    As has been said the Digital Av adapter will also work if you don't need it to be wireless.
    Also depending on your TV, you may be able to wirelessly send Youtube videos to the Tv's YouTube player App, without any additional hardware or Apps.
    I use my Samsung Blu Ray player for this, but it should work with the Tv's player also.

  • EA4500 vs. Samsung Smart TV

    My new Samsung Smart TV will not remain connected to my network. Anytime I turn on the TV or switch between apps I must input the password and reconnect to the network. Once I am connected, I am able to stream an entire movie on Netflix without any trouble but when I switch movies or to live TV or open the browser I have to reconnect. The problem does not exist with a wired connection directly to my cable modem. All of my other wireless devices work fine. The router is within 5 feet of the TV, the TV software is up to date, I have power cycled the modem and router and tried different DNS settings. Any thoughts?

    If other wireless devices are working fine thru the router as well as the tv is working fine when wired, it must have something to do with the wireless adapter that’s built in on the tv. You’ve mentioned that the TV is 5 feet away from the router. How about try to move either the tv or the router farther like 15-20 feet and see if it will still experience the same issue. If a wireless device is placed too near the router, it might create an interference with the connection thus the reason why the tv won’t retain the connection. If moving the tv or the router won’t work, the tv’s wireless card may need an update. You can contact the tv manufacturer then for further assistance.

  • [Samsung] Your Music on Samsung Smart TV

  • I have a Samsung Smart TV. Skype was working. No...

    I have a Samsung Smart TV.   I have been using Skype for about 4 months with no problems.  Then Skype was updated and it keeps saying Incorrect password.  I called Samsung and they said that the Skype app was bad.  Is this true and how do I get the corredted app?

    Just wanted to chime in and say I've also been having problems ever since the last Skype update.  I have a Samsung UN46ES8000 and we've had problems with it telling us we have an incorrect password and also problems making outgoing Skype to Skype calls once we finally do get logged in.  Whenever we try to make an outgoing call the TV actually reboots itself completely.  However, we can receive incoming calls just fine.
