Will ROKU work using exfinity internet null

I can not get it to work. I appears to be a waste of money.

Yes, Roku works with Comcast/Xfinity internet or any internet that has decent download speeds. But, It works really great, if you have both Xfinity internet and Xfinity cable. If you have both Xfinity internet and Xfinity cable then you don't have to rent a cable box from Comcast for every TV in your house. Just get a Roku for every TV instead. I use my Roku (Streaming Stick+) with the Xfinity app, which you can download on to your Roku device. This works great, because with the app, you do not need to install each channel individually (i.e...ABC, Fox, NBC...etc..). The Xfinity app allows you to watch all the channels you are already paying for through Comcast/Xfinity. If you have the Xfinity DVR, you can also, watch all of your saved/recorded shows, as well. OnDemand is also accessible through the Xfinity app, so you can watch movies or TV shows that you have not recorded, whenever you want. The Xfinity app works very much like the Xfinity X1 Platform (if you have it), with a few differences. First, you can not use the voice search the same on the X1 Platform as with the Roku. For example, within the X1 Platform you can voice search a channel number. Roku does not allow this, so you have to scroll through the channels manually while in the Xfinity app. Another thing is, it takes a few more seconds to switch channels or load saved and OnDemand shows. That is just the nature of the beast, due to fact, it is all loading over your Wi-Fi. Not everyone's Wi-Fi is going to be the same, so loading times are going to vary. I would recommend purchasing the Roku devices that use the wireless AC band (if your wireless router or gateway supports it). These are faster than the other Roku devices, in terms of download speed. Currently, the only ones that support the wireless AC band are the Roku Streaming Stick, Roku Streaming Stick+, and the Roku Ultra. For me personally, I use the Xfinity app probably 95% of the time on my Roku. I have not had any issues with it so far.

Roku doesn't depend on which internet provider you are using. You connect the Roku to internet by wiring it to your router or connecting it to Wifi, and it will work. Which service provider is providing the internet service doesn't matter.
