I don't think the Xfinity box is a streaming device. It is a cable TV box that delivers some selected internet streaming apps through the cable, but doesn't allow for direct internet streaming. As far as the remote, I would use the Xfinity remote to pair it to the Samsung TV instead of trying to use the Samsung universal remote. There are on-screen instructions for pairing the Xfinity remote to your TV. If you want to do direct streaming from the internet, I would buy a Roku streaming stick and plug it into an HDMI input on your TV. That will basically transform your non-smart television into a smart television for about $50.
