Xfinity on the go

With the Xfinity Stream app, you can take your Xfinity entertainment with you everywhere you go.

If you have the X1, you can watch your recordings on the go by streaming or downloading them. Genre filtering, video playback, parental settings, and closed captioning are all included in the app. With the Xfinity Stream app, you can even sync your favorite shows to your X1.

Which TV Provider's Mobile App Is The Most Effective?

While not every provider has an all-in-one app for watching your favorite shows, they all offer a wonderful method to stay connected while you're away from home. Xfinity and Spectrum are good options if you want quick access to all of your subscriptions in one place. Suppose you only want a few favorite channels while traveling. In that case, the other providers' option of downloading different network applications and logging in to each of them to watch your shows is also a good option.

Expect cable companies to continue to look for new methods to deliver service outside the home as more consumers prefer to view content online.
