What is "NowTV" that the xfinity support people are trying to sell me?

My monthly cost just went up $10 for my channels, internet, and my two dvr boxes (yes, I'm old school and in fact i am old and set in my ways).

It seems the support people are trying to convince me to switch to "NowTV" and to be honest I don't understand what it is.

Can someone point me to some online information about what "NowTV" actually is? The support person implied far fewer channels and its own "box", which would be different from my current DVR boxes/equipment.

It is unsettling that it seems several times a year now there are cost increases in my xfinity services. It is true I only watch a subset of all the channels available to me (for example, I watch zero sports), so I'd be willing to look at a different option if it would help me to save money.

Good afternoon @user_m1jddz! For more information on NOW TV we have this really helpful site. This site will also take you to the channel lineup to show what channels are included with NOW TV. Just like with Xfinity Flex, the first flex box is included with NOW TV.

Thank you for the reply!

I am so confused because I actually don't know what I have now. I guess it is called "TV Popular Double Play"

I still don't understand why between my previous bill due Oct 19 and this bill (due Nov 19) my cost went up $10 per month. Did I miss a memo about an increase? Can you help me to figure this out? I have been on Support Chat for hours this morning with two different people and neither explained this to me. It has been frustrating.

ALSO: I did go to that web page. It is not clear what channels are available (it says 40+ Live Channels) and... when I click on the "SHOP" button it results in an error page:

I just switched to Now TV after discovering I was $250 a month for internet and cable. My bill was originally $160 a month then mysteriously my bill became higher. After speaking with a representative I thought I was sure what I was getting but after logging into my app I hardly have any channels I watch and I don't have access to local channels. I am a creature of habit and liked what I had with Xfinity. Now I am contemplating leaving them. I'm frustrated with the ever changing cable plans and hidden price hikes with Xfinity. This is the second time I have experienced outrageously high prices being a customer with them.
