Today we are releasing a beta of the Xfinity TV app for Roku in the U.S., providing Xfinity TV customers across the country even more choice in how they access the programming that is included with their cable subscription.

I found two garden channels the other day with the rokuguide. There may even be more private channels.
Awesome!
Yet to find those here. Will be searching. Nothing mentioned about them on the newest ROKU email or blog. Thanks for the thumbs up!
The Xfinity screen on my Roku is telling me to go to xfinity.com and enter the code given, but when I go to the page on my computer to enter the code, there’s no option given to enter a code.

I find myself watching Roku more than cable now (I started during election when even FNC went anti Trump).
I used to watch FOX all night (Special Report thru Hannity). Now I watch Roku and either Netflix, Amazon or the Youtube app - viewing all the clips of day that look interesting from FOX News, FOX Biz, Info Wars, RSBN, Cernovich, Watson, etc. I love it.
Cable TV is dead.
Thanks bunches! Love the gardening shows (with the exception of HGTV Once good, now worse than pitiful).
If you’re a Time Warner - Spectrum - customer, you can’t watch any streamed content of any of their channel lineup unless you go through Roku. It will literally pop-up box on you telling you to buy their TV package if you want to watch it. How it’s legal for them to tell me how I use my internet is beyond me.
If I were the company making set top boxes for Xfinity, I’d be more than a little ticked off.
Roku channel Pear has FNC & Fox Business... free, of course. A little trickier to install than XTV, but the stream is way more reliable.
I did a search on the site and went to the FAQs “How to Activate” link. After adding the code, they want you to sign into an account. So, do you need to have an account for Xfinity, and pay for your internet service through them in order to use this? I already have Time Warner/Spectrum, so am not interested in paying for this service.
Thanks, you answered my question while I was posting another comment. I’ll just delete the channel since it’s no use to me.
Seen a good many shows on X TV; 24/7 Began with MONK watching day after day (it was removed and do hope they will return it soon). Now watching the FRASIER episodes.
X-TV has also shown the most recent JASON BOURNE movie which thrilled my spouse. X-TV has so much to offer it’s a shame they experience incessant glitches.
We’ve no cable here, and cut off Direct TV years after we purchased their original receiver. Another electronic devise outdated.
Are there any channels you’d like that Spectrum denies you? We know a bunch.
Probably not, but thanks for the offer. I get more than enough programs on Spectrum, and record everything on the DVR. I also get a crapload of programs via British torrent sites. Can't beat the Brits for historical dramas, documentaries, and mysteries. Plus they air a lot of foreign series that you can't find on Netflix.
This thing is months behind schedule and still doesn’t work right. And if it ever does work right Comcast is going to charge extra for it.
It would be better if Comcast offered a stand-alone Sling-like offering without requiring a cable subscription. As far as I know, Sling is the only service that offers a cable like package that's entirely streamed.
I subscribe to Sling's basic package plus its movie-channel add-on. I get my local channels OTA. Total monthly cost for considerable TV/Movie content - $25 plus my INSP cost of $44/mo for 40mbps.
But you do have XTV, right, they are very UK-heavy with their programming.
