Traditional cable TV resonates with a massive audience in America, but we cannot deny the increasing popularity of online streaming services. Netflix is the undisputed king of streaming services with almost 270 million paid subscribers worldwide.

People are replacing paid TV with one or more streaming services for the convenience they offer. Streaming services are not bound to schedules, they present lots of exclusive content (shows and movies), they give the option to opt out of watching ads, and have multiple budget-friendly plans.

Xfinity brings you multiple entertainment options in one place, so it’s more than okay to want more than regular TV. How to watch Netflix on Xfinity you ask? Let’s find out…

Watch Netflix on Xfinity X1 TV

Nothing beats gathering around one big screen with your loved ones to watch a much-awaited TV show or movie together. However, given our busy routines that often clash with the timetables of cable TV networks, it gets difficult to make time for these get-togethers. 

Luckily, streaming services like Netflix let you stream content at your own convenience. However, wouldn’t it be nice to own an entertainment system that lets you tune into either of the options (cable TV and Netflix) without switching inputs? Well, Xfinity X1 allows you to do just that!

What is Xfinity X1?

Xfinity X1 is an advanced TV box that gives you the ultimate entertainment experience - you can enjoy live TV, on-demand content, sports, streaming, music, and more on one platform.

The procedure for setting up Netflix on Xfinity Flex 4K is identical to how you do it with the X1 TV box.

P.S. The Xfinity Flex TV box is no longer available. New customers get the Xumo Stream Box, which connects with Netflix in the same fashion.
