The adoption of streaming video has been steadily increasing nationally and here in Washington. The popularity of streaming services like Netflix, Peacock, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, and others contributes to this growth. Joining the variety of streaming boxes and sticks that allow consumers to access these services, is a new consumer-friendly option available to Xfinity customers.
Xfinity Internet customers in Thurston County have a new option to enjoy streaming entertainment in their homes with the launch of Xumo Stream Box. Available at no additional monthly cost, this unique 4K streaming device features a user interface with universal voice search capabilities, making it easy for consumers to find and enjoy their favorite streaming content.
Consumers have multiple options when considering a purchase or using streaming devices. Features, functionality, and customer benefits are some of the key considerations to answer: Why choose Xumo?
For starters, Xumo Stream Box offers all the same search and discovery features Xfinity cable TV customers receive with X1 in a new user experience that makes it even easier for them to navigate between their favorite live, on-demand or streaming content.

Xumo Stream Box comes preloaded with hundreds of streaming apps, no need for you to download before they watch. You can simply say the name of the streaming service into the voice remote, and Xumo Stream Box will find and launch it. For the first time, Xfinity customers will be able to build personalized viewing lists for every member of the family with “My List.” With just one click, you can add any show or movie available on Xumo Stream Box to a specific list, giving them a quick way to find what to watch next.
