DOES X1 HAVE THE SAME BROADCAST CHANNELS AS A CABLE SUBSCRIBER GETS?

Question

That is not stated clearly anywhere. They say you get the networks but it doesn't say if that is the same local TV as you'd get as a TV cable user.

It seems a simple question, but it's difficult finding an answer.

Thanks

X1 is cable tv box/platform. Your question isn’t clear at all

My question is this: I have internet only. I have Flex. I can apparently upgrade that to X1 or something -- or so the person told me when I first ordered the internet.

I want to know if I can get broadcast channels on the internet the same as if I had cable service, period. It's not a complicated question, but apparently nobody at comcast is capable of answering.

I was told I can. When I "chatted" yesterday they tried to sell me a $167 service.

I hope I can and for less than $167. If if I can't I will cancel and go back to my old service, which I haven't disconnected. I will do that because the person on the phone lied to me.

Yes your local channels will be the same, to double check to see what you have access to go herehttps://www.xfinity.com/stream/Or download the Xfinity Stream app

Thank you.  I think I have to go back through customer service for the upgrade, though.

Just so you know, I am not on hold because I was just told it is not true that I can get the broadcast channels with internet-only. That leaves two possibilities, both entirely possible with Comcast:

1. The person I just spoke with doesn't know what she is talking about, or

2. The first person -- who sold me the internet service -- lied. Twice, as I asked twice.

I have never once had a good interaction with this company. Not once. Ever. Just awful.
