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.
You can stream your Xfinity TV service on a Roku stick. That way you only need one Xfinity box in the house. The other TVs can steam through the Roku using the Xfinity Stream App. This App links to your Xfinity acct by login/password and you mirror all your Xfinity TV channels and options, including what's on your Xfinity DVR.
