X1 Wireless TV Boxes (XiOne,* Xi5 and Xi6) allow you to watch live TV through your in-home Xfinity network, without the need for a coaxial cable connection.

The Xfinity X1 entertainment operating system (ooh, what a catchy name) is Comcast's new platform, which they have been developing since 2010 using the Open Source Linux Platform as their base. This allows them to have multiple products that can run on their version of Linux.

There is no charge for Xfinity customers to use Stream. It's included with your Xfinity service. However, internet charges may apply if you are off of your home network. Will live TV and/or Xfinity On Demand streaming on the Xfinity Stream app or Xfinity Stream portal count against my Xfinity Internet data usage plan?

With Xfinity Flex, you'll be able to:

• Stream more than 10,000 free movies and shows.
• Access your favorite apps like Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video and Hulu.
• Rent or purchase top movies and shows.
• Listen to your favorite artist or playlist using Spotify, Pandora, iHeartRadio and Amazon Music.

Here's How It Works Every month, you're charged a set price depending on how many lines you have on your account and which data options you choose for each line on your account. We don't charge phone line access fees if you have Xfinity service (Internet, TV or Voice) – unlimited nationwide talk and text is included.

What does Xfinity offer? Xfinity provides three basic services: cable TV, internet, and phone. The company offers bundles of two or all three services, generally at a discount. Bundling is usually the best way to get value for your money with a cable service, and Xfinity is no exception.

Now Xfinity already supports a range of Linux flavor OSes to include OSX (BSD Linux), Android, Smart TVs, etc. Xfinity devices (Routers, TV boxes/DVRs, Streaming devices) are also using Linux as their backend OS to cut their costs on paying for OS licensing.

Through Comcast: If you sign up for Netflix via the app on your X1 TV Box or Flex streaming TV Box, the Netflix monthly charge will be added directly to your Comcast bill for your convenience.

When connected to your in-home Xfinity Internet, all of the networks included in your package are available for live streaming and most of the popular shows and movies on those networks are available to stream On Demand.

No cable box required “In Xfinity X1, which is closer to a cloud infrastructure than a set-top box, we've built on an ambition to create a truly integrated experience.”
