RE: Wow - you applied some real clean up to your account!

I've been casually investigating streaming services. A couple friends like their YouTube TV and another has Fubo. They were fed up with Comcast!

I'm playing with a Roku streaming box which has the Xfinity App so we can get our Xfinity service without the Xfinity cable box + remote. The Xfinity App works but it's not nearly as easy to navigate vs the cable box + Xfinity remote. The Roku remote (and others like it) lack a Guide button that jumps directly to the Xfinity program guide grid and there are no numeric keys to jump directly to a channel. We have to scroll through several channels in the guide and then select the one we want to view.

I think we can live with some of these limitations. Our newer Samsung TV also has the Xfinity App built-in so there's no need for an external streaming box. However, I found the Xfinity App on Roku to be a little more flexible and it responds and navigates much faster.

I adapt much quicker to tech changes but my wife has grown very familiar with the capability and convenience of the Xfinity/Comcast remote.
