I have successfully downloaded Xfinity Stream to all TVs and can successfully operate with the individual Firesticks. However, when I stream to Xfinity Stream, one TV (The LG) operates all the XFINITY Stream Channels with closed Captioning. That is the only APP that shows closed captioning on that TV. Even went to the LG control and insured that closed captioning was off.
Seems like a long telephone to Xfinity to resolve.
Just wondering if one of our senior experts has a simple solution?

One solution is to run all your TVs through a Firesticks or Roku boxes. Their remotes can control your TVs’ basic functions. To respond to some other comments, they are correct that with Xfinity Stream a cable account is required. However, Xfinity has a pure streaming service called Xfinity Now. I don’t know it’s cost or if it is available in our area.
