Sorry, missed this part.

If you only have one HDMI connection on your television then yes, it is as simple as disconnecting the Xfinity box and connecting the firestick or Roku box.

If you have multiple HDMI connections then you could leave the Xfinity box on HDMI 1, connect the firestick or Roku to HDMI 2, and use the TV remote to switch between inputs and compare side-by-side.
