FAQs
Will I be charged for using Xfinity Stream on any device?
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?
When you're in your home and connected to your in-home Xfinity network, streaming video to the Xfinity Stream app and portal is an in-home cable service delivered over Xfinity's managed cable network, not over the internet. It will not count towards your Xfinity Internet monthly data usage.
If you watch any TV Go or NOW TV and streaming content through Xfinity Stream, that programming is delivered over an internet or mobile connection and will count towards any data usage thresholds that may apply.
Will I be able to rent or purchase movies and TV shows through Xfinity Stream?
Yes, on select compatible devices, you can rent or purchase movies and TV shows. You can then watch on any compatible Stream device. Learn more about renting or purchasing. You can also watch any movie or TV show you purchased on your Xfinity TV Box through Xfinity Stream by selecting Saved > Purchases in the navigation bar.
Can I watch PPV through the Xfinity Stream app or portal?
No, PPV is not available through Xfinity Stream.
I can't watch all of my live TV and/or Xfinity On Demand streaming when I'm traveling. Is there a problem?
When connected to your in-home Xfinity network, content is delivered as a cable service over Xfinity's managed IP network and includes your full live TV channel lineup and all of your Xfinity On Demand choices. Although more than 250 live TV Go channels and tens of thousands of Xfinity On Demand movies and shows are available outside of the home, certain content isn't available. You don’t need to be connected to your in-home network to watch NOW TV and streaming content.
Use the Available Out of Home filter in the Xfinity Stream app or portal to easily identify streaming options available when you're not connected to your in-home Xfinity network.
What about when I travel outside of the United States?
Xfinity TV or NOW TV and streaming content cannot be streamed or downloaded outside of the United States. However, programs downloaded to your mobile device through the Xfinity Stream app can be viewed offline anywhere, even while you're in other countries. Learn more about downloading cloud-based DVR recordings and Xfinity On Demand content to your device.
How many devices can stream live TV and/or Xfinity On Demand content simultaneously?
With Xfinity TV service, and the Xfinity Stream app and portal, most customers can stream video on up to five devices simultaneously while in the home. Out of the home or with NOW TV and streaming, you can stream up to three devices simultaneously.
Note: Xfinity Instant TV customers are limited to two simultaneous streams. Xfinity On Campus customers are limited to one stream.
Can I download movies and shows from the Xfinity On Demand library?
Yes, you can download select Xfinity On Demand TV shows and movies using the Xfinity Stream app. Select Available for Download from the filter menu to see what shows and movies are available to download to watch when offline.
Disclaimer: Xfinity On Demand services are not available in all areas. If you reside in an area that does not offer Xfinity On Demand through your TV Box, you will not have access to Xfinity On Demand content online through Xfinity Stream.
