Xfinity Instant TV is a cable TV streaming service that lets you watch live TV from broadcast and popular cable networks on your compatible smart TV, computer, tablet, smartphone or Roku Streaming Player.

X1 Wireless TV Boxes (XiOne,* Xi5 and Xi6) allow you to watch live TV through your in-home Xfinity network, without the need for a coaxial cable connection.

The X1 is an Xfinity cable TV box that includes a voice remote, on-demand content, and streaming apps like Netflix. But potential Xfinity customers have to jump through several hoops to get the X1. The device, which costs $8.50 per month, requires an Xfinity TV plan, so it's not an option for cord-cutters.

Xfinity TV packages by Comcast come through a cable connection with up to 185+ channels. Most packages also include 20 hours of DVR storage via the X1 DVR box, plus the Xfinity Stream app. Check to see what Xfinity TV packages are available in your area.

Xfinity TV packages offer seamless integration with other devices, allowing you to watch your favorite shows and movies on smartphones, tablets, and laptops. The Xfinity Stream app lets you stream live TV and access on-demand content from anywhere using an internet connection.

No cable box required “We think the future of TV will be a function of how you aggregate it, how you contextualize it, and how you personalize it,” says Strauss. “In Xfinity X1, which is closer to a cloud infrastructure than a set-top box, we've built on an ambition to create a truly integrated experience.”

That means all those duplicate channels you are streaming are the empty spaces that are to be filled in the future with more and more HD channels once they start streaming.
