In April 2016, Comcast said Xfinity cable customers would be able to forgo an expensive cable box before the end of the year and use a Roku box instead (http://www.pcworld.com/article/3060112/streaming-media/comcast-s-roku-and-samsung-tv-apps-will-free-customers-from-cable-boxes.html). The company missed that target, but the good news for Roku customers is that a beta version of the Xfinity TV app is now available in Roku’s channel store (https://channelstore.roku.com/details/123132/xfinity-tv-beta).
Comcast says it wanted to get the app out into the public so that early adopters can “try it out and give us feedback” and “help us make some final tweaks” before launch. To use the app, you’ll need an Xfinity TV subscription (of course), Xfinity Internet service, and a compatible gateway to deliver service to the app.
