The Xfinity Stream app has officially launched on the Apple TV set-top boxes, allowing users to watch both live channels and Comcast’s library of on-demand content on tvOS.
The Xfinity Stream app is now available for Apple TV 4K and Apple TV HD and allows users to watch most of the content available through a current Comcast Xfinity set-top box. Users with existing subscriptions can stream over 250 live TV channels and access thousands of shows and movies in the Xfinity library.
Interested users can download the tvOS app from the App Store and log into their Xfinity accounts using their existing credentials.
In October, Apple and Comcast announced a joint venture to bring the Apple Apple TV+ app to the Comcast platforms and the Xfinity Stream app to Apple’s streaming hardware.
Comcast also said it has redesigned its Xfinity Stream app with a more intuitive user interface that involves content discovery and includes a personalization algorithm. The redesigned app will first launch on Apple TV hardware before a wider release.
The Apple TV+ platform was launched earlier in 2022 on Comcast entertainment platforms such as Xfinity X1, Xfinity Flex and XClass TV.
