Wireless tv box

is there such a thing as a wireless cable box? How can I get one? I’d love a tv in a room w/o cable line but so far my only solution is either a Fire TV or a Roku TV. Is that what customers are referring to?

Hello, @Lkpolo thank you for creating a post here over Xfinity Forums. That is a great question, yes we do have wireless set-top boxes. For most locations you do need a primary X1 receiver and then the wireless boxes are companions. If your location happens to be a streaming only location called (All IP), then all your equipment would be streaming. Based on your post, I'm confident you wouldn't be in a streaming only location, since you weren't aware of the equipment. 

I found this helpful frequently asked questions document that has more information regarding the equipment. Plese let me know if that is helpful.

Good news. We have an X1 box in the family room and two smaller cable boxes but our living room dining area kitchen doesn’t  have access to cable line. Our gateway is also in the family room next to the phone and tv. When did this all occur? I’ve been wanting to do this for a while. What is the cost for a wireless box?

@Lkpolo we've had the wireless boxes since I started working for the company over 10 years ago, and have had 2 new generations of wireless set-top boxes since I've been here. The wireless boxes are the same cost as wired X1 equipment.
