Here in PA, I have Xfinity and the Newsmax channel [1115] shows up on my channel guide.
But when I select it, I get a message from Xfinity that I need to subscribe - which doesn’t make sense, because it’s supposed to be free.
I can watch it via Roku box, but it would be much more convenient to watch it on Xfinity.
Any ideas?
Maybe someone else can help you.
I get it on Optimum channel 102 in NJ. There are many channels that I can’t get here, but I guess 102 is part of my basic subscription...
It depends on the level of Comcast/Xfinity subscription you have. Whatever level I have has Newsmax channel included.
From what I understand, you have to have the Xfinity X1 cable box. Check your bill. If you see a monthly DVR service fee and a per month HD technology fee, that’s their hidden way of charging for X1. If that’s what you have, you have a beef, because you’re paying for it. Have you tried getting it on the xfinity streaming app? I believe it is free to all subscribers. Once downloaded at the xfinity website, you can stream onto a desktop, tablet, phone. If you can get newsmax via that route, you should be able to get it via your tv. Complain!
Disclaimer: I have no expertise in this. For too long, I had no idea I could get Newsmax with my cable subscription. Well worth the effort to track it down. Good luck.
