I learned a couple of things today from Xfinity/Comcast.

If I choose Xfinity auto pay it is a $10 per month credit.

By switching to Xfinity Streaming I can eliminate all set top box rentals....we have three @ $8.50 per month....$25.50 savings per month.

So now I am trying to educate myself how user friendly Xfinity Streaming is and does it allow all record and watch features (as with set top box/DVR).

With the above two actions I could reduce my Comcast monthly bill by $35.50.

I have found so far that Xfinity Stream is not compatible with Vizio smart television sets....but can be accessed via Apple TV.

I have downloaded the Xfinity stream app to my iphone and ipad....all functions and channels seem to be available to stream with no problem.

Other questions I have are related to ability to record as with set top box/dvr?

Anybody using Xfinity Stream please share your thoughts.
It is hard to imagine that Comcast is offering lower cost solutions. Their business model is to keep increasing service and rental fees.
