Xfinity TV Channels and ROKU: Where Can I Find The Best Roku TV For Me?

@ThatDonGuy​ The Universal Kids channel closed last March? That's a shame! What happened to it? Were they not getting enough funds?

@XfinityDena​ What I mean by voice accessibility is, do these remotes have a screenreader voice that talks to you? Something like Cortana, Siri, Alexa, or any other screenreader voice.

@Annabelle2 Our Xfinity boxes offer a voice guidance setting that can be turned on for the system to read menu options out loud through the TV to assist will customer's with visual impairments still hear what they are selecting. I believe Roku offers a similar setting that can be turned on. But nothing on the remotes specifically it would all be communicated through the TV volume. 

@Annabelle2  

Those are our different channel tier. Choice Tv being the basic one, Popular being the more standard channels and probably pur most chosen plan, and Ultimate being close to the full lineup minus the Premium Movie channels and specific additional add-ons.  The link below you can put in your address, and it will show a breakdown of the channels that come in each tier and you can check which tier your favorite channels are a part of.

If you choose to use Roku instead of our Xfinity cable boxes you would download our Xfinity Stream app on you Roku device and then sign in to your Xfinity account. Which ever tier of channels you pay for determines what you will be able to access on Roku.

@Annabelle2 This is a great question! All Xfinity customers can download the Xfinity Stream app or visit the Xfinity Stream portal, log in with your Xfinity ID and password and start enjoying available content.
An Xfinity TV subscription is not required to use the Xfinity Stream app or portal, but different Xfinity services do offer different content. 

I have a link with some of our frequently asked questions for our Xfinity Stream App: https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/tv-app-overview. 

I have a second link with some cool compatible devices you can use to stream on: https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/xfinity-stream-app-faqs

@Annabelle2 It does look like that is a Fire TV and should be compatible with the Xfinity Stream app based on what I'm seeing in this link: https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/stream-app-on-amazon-fire.

Hey @Annabelle2, Thank you for visiting our official Xfinity Forums Community support page. Congrats on the new TV! With the Amazon Fire TV OS, you can quickly and easily access our Xfinity Video plans. We recently changed our plans and have a few different options available. We have our streaming service called NOW TV for $20.00 per month which provides approximately 125+ channels. You can learn more about this package by visiting our 'NOW TV overview' support page. We even have the option to bundle with some the Xfinity StreamSaver bundle to have some great savings with Peacock, Apple TV, and Netflix. 

We also have our Xfinity Sports and News TV which is also a great streaming bundle with savings. Our new Xfinity Video plans can also be found on our recent press release at 'Comcast’s Xfinity Launches National Video Plans; The Best Entertainment Experience for One Simple Price'. Please let us know which plan interested you the most and we can help go over all the details and get you enrolled today. 

The names may be different, but they are the same great plan with more! Our Digital Preferred is now called "TV Premium". This plan is actually better than our legacy Digital Preferred as it includes 300 hours of Cloud DVR Storage and a 4k X1 set-top box for no additional charge.

A set-top box is no required and you can opt to use the Xfinity Stream App. The cost is also all-inclusive with no additional Broadcast TV Fee and Regional Sports Fee. The plans and pricing can be found within the link above before the Xfinity Internet cost. You can access any and all our TV plans with or without a set-top box along with many other eligible devices from phones, tablets, computers and more. 

That is one of my favorite features as I can use the Xfinity Stream App on my mobile phone while away from home to stay up to on all the sports that I watch @Annabelle2.

@Annabelle2 the price would be the same since the plans do include one set-top box at no cost. 

$20/mo for NOW TV has been the set rate for a while now. But your overall price may increase and the end of your internet promo. The NOW TV is no contract, so you can always remove it at any time if you wish. We also will notify you of any price increases to services like that, so there should be no subtle increase month over month. 

I apologize, we're unable to see the details on your account. I don't believe Internet Essentials is going to increase in price anytime soon as the price increase the first time in over decade last year, and there'a no promotion that would expire. The agent you spoke to was correct when saying if you were to add NOW TV to your plan, your monthly rate would indeed increase by an even $20/mo. There's always a possibility of the price increasing, but we include notices on monthly statements to inform our customer's prior to anything going up.
