Xfinity packages with Netflix are only available in select markets at this time. To check availability, please visit xfinity.com.
How do I know if my Xfinity package includes Netflix?
If Netflix is included in your X1 package, it will be listed in the \"Bundled Services\" or the \"Regular monthly charges\" section of your bill.
I signed up for an Xfinity package that includes Netflix. How do I activate my Netflix account?
Launch the Netflix app on your X1 TV Box. Then, follow the prompts to either link your existing Netflix account to your Xfinity package or create a new Netflix account to be linked to your Xfinity package.
How do I find the Netflix app on my X1 TV Box?
You can either say \"Netflix\" into the Xfinity Voice Remote or you can go directly to the Netflix app by clicking on the Netflix tile found in the X1 apps menu.
I signed up for an Xfinity package that includes Netflix but never accessed the Netflix app on my X1 TV Box. Can I still create a new Netflix account or transfer an existing one as part of my package?
Yes. However, you must open the Netflix app on your X1 TV Box to activate the Netflix service included in your Xfinity package.
If you have an existing Netflix account and sign up for an Xfinity package with Netflix service, you'll continue to be charged separately for your Netflix account until you complete the activation process by using the Netflix app on your X1 TV Box.
How do I change my Netflix plan or account information?
You can change your Netflix plan at any time by signing in to netflix.com and visiting the Account page, then selecting Change Plan to view and select available plans.
What will happen to my Netflix account if I cancel my Xfinity service or change my Xfinity package?
For more information, see how to disconnect or downgrade Xfinity service with Netflix.
What happens to my Netflix account if I move?
Your Netflix subscription relationship is with Netflix directly, even if you signed up through Xfinity X1. Because of this, a move will not impact your subscription unless you are billed by Comcast, in which case, you will need to update your method of payment for Netflix.
Note: You'll need to sign in to Netflix again once you activate the boxes at your new address. If you move and no longer have Xfinity services, you will no longer be billed by Comcast and must update your payment method for Netflix or risk losing your Netflix Service.
If you have a previous, valid method of payment (credit or debit card, for example) on file with Netflix, Netflix will charge your previous method of payment. Contact Netflix to cancel your Netflix account after changing your service package with Comcast.
I accidentally linked the wrong Netflix account to my Xfinity package. What should I do?
If you accidentally connect the wrong Netflix account to your Xfinity package, please sign out of the Netflix app on X1 and please contact us.
How does Netflix affect internet data usage?
Video in the Netflix app on Xfinity X1 is streamed over the internet. For this reason, usage of the Netflix app on X1 and all other programming and content from the internet on X1, as well as, the internet apps on X1 are subject to Xfinity Internet data usage policies.
To determine what amount of usage you can expect for a given hour of streaming, Netflix provides estimates on its website. Netflix estimates about 1 GB of data per hour for each stream of standard definition video, and up to 3 GB per hour for each stream of HD video.
Will my Netflix user settings carry over to X1 or Flex?
Yes. Existing Netflix customers who use their Netflix login information when logging in through the Netflix app on X1 or Flex will see their current Netflix settings.
Why is Netflix programming displaying in letterbox?
If you signed up for a Netflix standard definition (SD) package, the Netflix content will appear in SD in the letterbox format, even if you are an Xfinity HD customer. In order to get rid of the letterbox view, you must change your Netflix subscription to a package that includes HD.
The best streaming devices are there for you in your time of need. Whether you have an older display, one that might not be among the best TVs, or you're looking for an upgrade over your current TV interface, a streaming device will gift you access to all of your favorite entertainment.
We test these products across a wide range of use cases, looking not only at general value and features, but ease of use, as well. When searching for a new streaming device, you'll want to consider what type of ecosystem you want to leverage and which speaks to you the most, from the likes of Roku, Google TV, tvOS, and Prime Video.
Our top pick among the best streaming devices is the Roku Streaming Stick 4K, a worthy addition to any TV in need of refreshing. With access to over 24,000 apps, yet costing all but a mere $40, Roku's Streaming Stick 4K is a delight to use and nets users access to its beloved Roku City concept.
But maybe you're not a fan of Roku's interface (or its severe lack in cybersecurity), which means you could always go with either an Apple TV 4K or Chromecast with Google TV for any additional levels of comfort you need in your entertainment needs.
Here's a quick overview of the best streaming devices you can buy right now based on our testing and reviews. And keep up on scrolling if you want to see our in-depth analysis of all the top streaming devices for every user and budget.
The Roku Streaming Stick 4K does a lot for just a mere $40 streaming device. Not only does it provide snappy performance and a clean interface on Roku's beloved OS, but its Wi-Fi range extender will be valued and its Dolby Vision upgrade is long overdue.
For just a little less than its Streaming Stick rival, the Roku Express 4K is the same beloved experience for much cheaper, all while still keeping Roku's user-friendly interface. This model also comes with an upgraded remote so you don't need a line of sight to your TV.
Another strong $50 4K streaming device, the Chromecast with Google TV sets itself apart with its interface that leans towards surfacing live TV. Its support for paid cable alternatives is limited to YouTube TV, Sling TV and Philo.
Our testing has shown that the Apple TV 4K opens most apps faster than all of the competition. iPhone users will love the it, as it fits right into the Apple app ecosystem and its Remote app can be opened from the lock screen.
Yes, you can always find a deal on a cheap Fire Stick, but we recommend you wait until you see a deal on the Fire TV Stick 4K Max. It's faster than the rest of Amazon's sticks, which makes its ad-heavy interface easier to manage. It's also a solid pick if you use Alexa a lot.
As one of the best streaming devices and our personal favorite, the Roku Streaming Stick 4K is the perfect balance of price and performance, costing $50 (often discounted to just $40) while still providing snappy navigation and smooth streaming. It's got all the apps you could need, too. Since Roku's platform is a delight to use and beloved by many, it's an easy win for those looking to snap up a great deal with tons of value.
When we tested the Streaming Stick 4K, we saw content crispness jump to 1080p and then 4K in short amounts of time. We also noticed app loading that's comparable to the Chromecast with Google TV. Roku wins overall though thanks to its streamlined interface, which puts apps above content. But the Roku Streaming Stick 4's dominance isn't by the widest of margins, as evidenced by our tightly contested Roku Streaming Stick 4K vs. Chromecast with Google TV face-off. We also recommend this Roku streaming stick for travel, as it's a perfect addition to your next hotel or Airbnb room's TV, while taking up minimal space in your bag.
We wish it were a little heavier, though, as you may wind up spending a minute fiddling with its HDMI cable to make it sit flat on a surface. The Roku Streaming Stick Plus doesn't have that issue. And if you love A/V standards such as Dolby Vision or Atmos Audio. you may need to look elsewhere. Want something cheaper? Our Roku Express (2022) review dives deep on its performance gains.
The Chromecast with Google TV 4K makes the company's traditional streaming device a whole lot more complete. It also features excellent live TV integration, with a whole section for free TV and select paid live TV streaming services (YouTube TV, Sling and Philo). It also packs 4K UHD streaming with support for HDR and Dolby Vision, for excellent picture quality, and Dolby Atmos for immersive sound. And with Google TV, you have support for the over 6,500 Android TV apps.
While it's not the minimalist streaming device that the Chromecast 3 was, the new Chromecast remote could even replace your TV's remote. It's got the power and volume controls you need to turn on your TV, plus a TV Input button for switching to other devices, such as gaming consoles. Also, we really like the feel and build quality of the Chromecast remote, as it fits nicely in the palm of the hand and the buttons have a good click. Also, there are minimal branded app buttons, with just Netflix and YouTube. The Roku and Fire TV remotes offer too many, and should take notes. Plus, if you feel like personalizing your streaming sticks, this device comes in multiple fun colors.
We absolutely love the Apple TV 4K (2022) at $129, which is $50 lower than before. Yes, that price is still a incredibly high for the industry, but this price drop makes one of the best streaming devices (especially for Apple users) even more accessible. Apple's super-charged the Apple TV 4K with its A15 Bionic system-on-chip, delivering some of the fastest load times we've seen on any streaming device. For example, it beats the latest Fire TV Cube and Roku Ultra on loading Netflix, YouTube, Disney Plus and Spotify.
