NOW TV from Xfinity review

NOW TV ranks ninth because it is a strong deal with a hard limit: you must subscribe to Xfinity Internet to get it. For those households, Xfinity's FAQ lists NOW TV at $20 a month with no annual contract, no Regional Sports Network or Broadcast TV fees, and over 270 live channels from networks such as HGTV, AMC, History, A+E and Hallmark. Peacock is included at no additional cost. You watch in the Xfinity Stream app on your own device or on a Xumo Stream Box, which Xfinity provides at no additional charge, and up to 3 devices can stream at once. DVR is capped at 20 hours, against 300 hours on traditional Xfinity TV, and pay-per-view events and sports packages are not available. NOW TV also cannot be watched on X1 boxes or added to a traditional Xfinity TV package. Outside Xfinity's internet footprint it is not an option.
