No, you won't be able to access the Xfinity Stream app on Partner Devices until your Xfinity Internet is activated.
The Xfinity Stream app delivers live broadcast channels, linear cable channels, cloud recordings and video on demand, all without the need to rent an Xfinity TV Box from Comcast.
QAM signals also, so even if you only have the most basic cable signal, you may be getting free unencrypted digital signals over that line (check with your cable company), or you can also use an antenna for free, like me.
The service delivered through the Xfinity Stream app is not an Internet service, so our data usage plans don't apply.
What's more, Comcast already offers its TV subscribers its Xfinity TV Everywhere app at no additional cost to watch programming on mobile devices like smartphones and tablets throughout their homes.
Xfinity TV service; can I use the Xfinity Stream app on Partner Devices prior to my professional installation?
Just read the email on your phone or tablet, click the link and it will automatically download the app, install it, and log you in.
Both Fios and Xfinity give you 30 days to cancel your service without incurring an Early Termination Fee.
The new TV app is somewhat similar to the apps currently available on smartphones and tablets, which Comcast says have been downloaded 23 million times.
This app has the potential for being a real value added perk for Xfinity and my main wish is that Comcast invest the money in this app to bring it to full functionality.
Plus, it includes many benefits you'd find in a traditional onsite PBX, without the bother of hardware costs and physical storage space.
For example, Xfinity's Extreme 250 has download speeds of 250 Mbps, but the upload speed is only 25 Mbps.
Yes, you can continue to view all of your previous content purchases through the Xfinity Stream app and Xfinity Stream portal.
For more information about setting up the Xfinity Stream app on your supported Partner Device, please consult the setup guide or support web page for your Partner Device.

What's more, the rules would have required cable operators, like Comcast, to make the app available to any device platform.
Yes, provided you have a SiriusXM All Access or Streaming SiriusXM subscription, you can download the SiriusXM app and listen on supported smart TVs from LG, Samsung and Sony.
In a statement, the FCC criticized Comcast's app plan, arguing that it's just offering the same old Xfinity service on a different device.
If you are a new customer, you can simply opt to use your Partner Device without renting an Xfinity TV Box from Comcast.
If you don't already have a wireless router, you'll need to buy one of those too, which can bring up the cost of upgrading (though you'll still be better off in the long run).
Comcast also had offered its Xfinity service over an Xbox app, but that deal only lasted a little over a year before it was disbanded.
Please note, if you use the Xfinity Stream app on multiple devices, you'll need to set the parental controls separately in the Xfinity Stream app for each device.
We are working with equipment manufacturers to bring the Xfinity Stream app to additional devices and models.
If you only wanted to watch Hulu or Netflix, I believe the game consoles have apps you can download for those services.
Even without a mandate from the FCC, cable operators could make the Roku app free, and they could offer it on more platforms.
