Xfinity Adds FuboTV App for Customers with Xumo Stream Box or Xumo TV

Despite the giant streaming companies partnering and offering their own sports bundles, Fubo TV continues, this time for customers who have a Xumo Stream Box, Xumo TV, or the older Xfinity Flex streaming box, A Sports First app has been added to the Xfinity service. [In fact, 95% of Fubo viewers watch their favorite content on their connected or smart TVs.

Xfinity users can launch the newly added apps by saying "Fubo" into the remote control microphone or by looking at the app menu on each device.

The apps are not free, but a trial period is offered to test them to see if they are right for you. There are four subscription tiers, starting at $79.99 and going up to the elite level of $99.99.

The service is a sports-focused streaming channel, specializing in live sports but also offering other channels such as Disney, MTV, and Nickelodeon. Elite is also bundled with Paramount Plus and Showtime.

Comcast, owner of Xfinity, hopes to attract customers to the service by connecting it with streaming apps like Fubo. The company recently launched a new "StreamSaver" bundle that packages Netflix, Peacock, and Apple TV Plus for $15 per month.

While this bundle is a great deal for customers, it offers only the lowest possible levels, including ad-supported levels of Netflix and Peacock.

Meanwhile, Fubo is in an ongoing lawsuit against Disney, Fox, and Warner Bros. over their "mega" sports streaming app Venu, which is set to launch later this fall.
