Comcast and Roku are teaming up to give their subscribers something new. But you will need to pay for this. It will not be free of cost. Read the article and know why both have teamed up.

Comcast announced that it’s launching a beta program and teaming up with Roku to bring the cable company’s Xfinity TV App to its family of media streaming boxes. This will allow Roku users to ditch their cable boxes, but it will not be free. They will need to pay some amount for it. Comcast 24 7 Support can be taken for any information or query.

For now, the app is in beta, but it will continue the ongoing trend of cable companies making their services available the cable boxes. You will still need to be a Xfinity TV subscriber to watch all your shows. But Roku owners can access their streaming content and cable channels on a single device. The app has also included both love and on-demand content.

But there is twist here. For using this You will need to pay an additional monthly fee. This fee will come at the top of the monthly fee that you need to pay for Xfinity TV service in the first place.

In other words, Roku will be treated like a cable box. There is no fee in place for it today. But according to the FAQ page of Comcast, the users will be informed about the charges that will apply for connecting Xfinity TV service with this app. It will also have the opportunity to opt in after coming out of the app later this year. Comcast Business Internet Support can be taken for more details.

Comcast also says you will only be able to stream the content to the beta version of Xfinity TV app if you have connected your Roku to your in-home network. The reason for doing this that the app is not an internet service, despite needed an internet connection for working. The company calls it Title VI cable service that only works with privately managed cable network. The company will also not count the usage of beta app against your data cap. Beta users will need to have at least one other Comcast provided TV box in their home for using the app due to technical limitation.

Comcast has not commented on plan of charging Xfinity TV on Roku users. But Variety says the company currently charges $9.95 per month in service fees for every cable box that the company rents along with the additional credit of $2.90 for those who use equipment like TiVo. This move is notable as it will open the set top box market. For any information or query you can also call on Comcast Tech Support Number.
