Xumo
I just obtained a xumo box from Xfinity. I would like to be able to stream local content (Warriors games and so on) on my iPad as well as view it on my tv. Is there any way I can do this? While I can get local tv channels on my tv with my xumo box, I can’t get these same channels on the Xfinity streaming app or on the xumo app.

Hey @cfcampbell,
Thank you for taking the time to visit our official Xfinity Community Forums support page. We would be more than happy to address your Xumo Streaming box concerns.
Our Xumo Streaming box is a set-top box that comes included with the cost of the Xfinity Internet. This device allows you to access streaming applications and more such as our Xumo app. The Xumo Set-top box does not come with television channels. You are able to subscribe to Live TV Streaming services such as our NOW TV, Hulu +Live TV, YouTube TV, and Sling TV.
If you do not subscribe to a live television service through Xfinity, you would be unable to stream local channels through the Xfinity Stream app as you would need an active Xfinity TV subscription.
If you subscribe to Live TV through a different third-party provider, you would need to reach out to them for any assistance on streaming and supported streaming devices. Do you currently have an active Xfinity TV subscription that provides you with live channels?

I am glad I ran across this post before switching to Xumo streaming boxes. I just completed a call with customer service to address the outlandish prices we are paying for service, and she recommended switching over to Xumo streaming boxes to save on equipment costs. I was lead to believe that we would be able to watch all of our current programs which does include local programming. Looks like this is definitely an opportunity for training customer service representatives.
