Can we record/view ChoiceTV content on XfinityStream without set-top box?

Hi!

We switched to ChoiceTV with 20hr dvr service a year ago & have been enjoying the flexibility of using both our remaining X1 box and XfinityStream on Roku. 

If we decide to eliminate our X1 box in a few months (to offset the 2026 price increases) will we still be able to record/view 20hrs of content (using cloud dvr)? If yes, will there be an additional cost? 

🙂

user_e31eb9_Robin_ thank you for using the Xfinity Community Forums page to reach out regarding your options to record and view certain content. Yes, you can use the Choice TV 20-hour DVR service without a set-top box. The X1 Cloud DVR can be accessed through the Xfinity Stream app or a third-party device, but a subscription to Xfinity Internet is required. This allows you to utilize the DVR service without needing a physical TV Box.
