So, Roku streaming and cable TV are two entirely different ways to watch TV. Some people mistakenly think that they need internet service to watch cable TV. They don't.
So what xfinity is internet connection which you have to have. Regarding what cable service you use. Xfinity in my area for last few months have been freezing up streaming or not. Getting close to as bad as satellite services.
