(I know I can rent a cable box and pay for regular cable in addition to the wifi I already pay for, but that is not in the budget currently.)

The Xfinity thing you're seeing is NOT cable TV. It's your TV set trying to connect to your internet service.
There is /also/ a free streaming service from Comcast, that comes with your internet service. It's called Xfinity Flex. You get a couple dozen channels with it including Peacock Premium. It's a great freebie option for a "man-cave" TV, not very useful for a main set. We have that in the TV in the spouse's workshop, connected with their device that is similar to a Roku or Fire stick and paired with a streaming remote.
