Xfinity TV offers a wide variety of choices
Comcast’s Xfinity is the largest cable TV provider in the nation, available to more than a third of U.S. households. With such a wide coverage area, specific Xfinity TV-only and bundle packages, channels and special offers will often vary by location.
Xfinity TV has a lot to offer, from basic cable services with numerous add-on options to DVR service and streaming capabilities, but it may not be for everyone. To help you decide if the service is right for you, we’ve listed package, pricing and equipment details below along with our expert analysis of how it all compares to other providers.
What we like
Package and add-on options – Comcast’s Xfinity has several TV plans, including lots of add-on package options.
Cable box options – If you don’t need DVR or HD, cheaper TV boxes are available, or you can use your own compatible equipment for free.
Bundle bonuses – Select TV and internet bundles come with extra perks such as free Netflix or premium channel subscriptions.
Free self-install – The free self-install eliminates upfront costs and time spent waiting on a technician.
Things to consider
Xfinity internet is required for the X1 DVR – The X1 DVR is one of the more advanced DVRs available, but you’ll have to also be an Xfinity internet customer to get it.
Bundling can be confusing – Adding internet can change Comcast TV package options and channel lineups, and any bundle incentives vary widely by package.
Added fees – Broadcast and regional sports fees add over $30/mo. to some plans, and that’s before equipment and DVR charges.

Which Xfinity TV package should you choose?
Which Comcast cable packages give you the entertainment you want, without paying for channels and features you don’t need? Take a look at our Xfinity TV package recommendations below to find the right package for your home.
Basic or Choice – Best for streamers
If your primary entertainment fix comes from streaming services, but you still want local channels and a few extras, consider the Xfinity Basic or Choice cable package. You’ll get local channels, shopping networks and digital music.
Popular or Extra – Best for casual viewers
There’s nothing fancy about these packages, but they’re not missing anything you’d expect from a basic cable package either. Enjoy such channels as AMC, Cartoon Network, ESPN, Disney, Food Network, HGTV, MTV, Nickelodeon, TLC, TNT and the Travel Channel.
Digital Preferred – Best for sports fans
In addition to ESPN and your regional sports networks, you also get CBS Sports Network, ESPNews, ESPNU, MLB Network, NBA TV, NFL Network and NHL Network. The package also comes with the Cooking Channel, DIY Network, Flix and Starz Encore®.
Ultimate or Digital Premier – Best for movie lovers
Along with all the top networks and major sports channels, Xfinity’s biggest TV packages come with HBO®, SHOWTIME®, STARZ®, STARZ Encore® and The Movie Channel. Watch movies and hit original series live or on demand and make any night “movie night.”
Xfinity TV equipment and the X1 DVR
Available with select Comcast TV packages, the Xfinity X1 cable box gives you full control to find, watch and record your favorite shows.
X1 DVR capabilities:
- Find shows, change channels with the Xfinity Voice Remote
- Record up to six shows at once
- Store up to 500GB of content
- Access popular streaming services, such as Netflix and Pandora, straight from the device
- Watch live and on-demand TV at home and on the go with the Xfinity Stream app
- Download shows to your mobile device with the Xfinity Stream app and watch offline
If you don’t bundle Xfinity TV and internet, you can still get DVR service, but it will come with less functionality than the X1 DVR. Or, if you don’t need DVR service, go with a standard TV box or HD receiver. Xfinity is also one of the few TV providers to allow you to use your own compatible TV equipment.
Xfinity equipment fees
You’ll probably want to add TV equipment with your Xfinity service, and it will likely increase your monthly bill per TV.
X1 DVR fees
- First TV – $8.50/mo.
- Additional TVs – $8.50/mo. each
Receiver fees without X1
- DVR device – $8.50/mo.
- Additional receivers – $8.50/mo. each
HD fees
Depending on which devices you choose, Xfinity may also hit you with a $9.95/mo. “HD Technology Fee.” Customers are most likely to encounter this fee when they opt for HD receivers that aren’t the X1, as Xfinity often waives the fee when you choose the X1 DVR.
Broadcast fees
Most Xfinity TV packages also come with a broadcast TV charge up to $24.95/mo., as well as a Regional Sports Fee up to $19.15/mo. on packages that carry your local MLB, NBA and NHL teams’ games.
Add-on channel packages
Xfinity has an impressive lineup of packages you can add-on to Xfinity cable plan compared to other providers. You’ll find premium channels and the major sports packs such as MLB Extra Innings and NBA League Pass available, as well as lots of on-demand packages and international networks.
Premium channels
- STARZ® – $8.99/mo.
