Xfinity, often known as Xfinity Stream, allows you to watch live broadcast TV channels, cable channels, popular TV episodes, movies, and cloud recordings. It is only available to Xfinity TV and Internet users. Users can access the content provided by their package. To do this users need to activate Xfinity Stream.
If your Xfinity TV subscription includes sports and video-on-demand (VOD) entertainment, you can access it through the app. Similarly, if your subscription solely provides video-on-demand content, you will be unable to view live TV and sports content via the app.
You may view 250+ live TV channels and 1000+ on-demand content with Xfinity. Xfinity’s Cloud DVR feature allows you to record live TV channels in excellent quality. Xfinity Stream Beta is available for Android, iOS, Samsung Smart TV, Roku, and other devices.
