The Xfinity Stream app offers live broadcast channels, linear cable channels, cloud recordings, and video on demand, all without having to rent an Xfinity TV Box. The Xfinity Stream app for Partner Devices is presently allowed in a “beta” version. It doesn’t include the full set of functionalities and features that come with the app or the direct web portal. Xfinity X1 is the most opted way to watch Xfinity TV, and not all features of X1 are available on the partner devices.
Does the Xfinity Stream app work on all streaming devices?
Not yet. Currently, only certain devices have the Xfinity Stream app. Some of these are- Xfinity Stream on Amazon Fire TV, Samsung and LG devices, and Roku devices. All Internet speed tiers are eligible. You’ll be needing to use a Wireless Gateway bought from Xfinity or a retail modem that’s certified to work on the Comcast network. This is because not all device models meet the minimum hardware requirements for the app. Visit mydeviceinfo.xfinity.com for more information on compatible equipment.
