Big Sur 11.6 & Xfinity

Just down loaded Big Sur 11.6 and can no longer stream Xfinity live tv. Tried different browsers still doesn't work. I can still stream Xfinity on my my Mac Book Pro lap top which is running 11.5


Spoke with Xfinity / Comcast they said never they have not

heard of this issue. Anyone else run into this?

I worked with an apple care tech trying a few different "fixes" but nothing. Finally had to do a recovery restart (command R) which deleted and reinstalled 11.6 this did the trick. It did however take 5 hours to download in this mode.


I am also pretty sure the issue was with Xinify's signal in my neighborhood which goes in and out all day, a few dropped signals during the download corrupted it.

Just got notice of another update. Hoping it fixes the Safari issue! I'm having issues with my photos too. Only getting a very limited number of them when I try to use one for my wallpaper (which I've done numerous times before), and they're all the unedited versions! No rhyme or reason to what's showing up either. Some are years old, others are recent, and there are repeats (duplicates of the older ones)!

Everyday I check for a notice of an upgrade fix for 11.6, so far, nothing. I do, however, have an update notice for a connections with my devices. That one I'm leaving alone until after there is a fix for streaming & 11.6. Others have suggested rolling back 11.6, but I think I'll wait, see what happens. The iPad is working ok with streaming, and that will do for now.
