“How can you stream content from a cable provider (xfinity) over my own home network? I am an xfinity subscriber, but do not have a cable input close to where I want the tv located. So, I want to connect the tv over my home network to stream content.”

if you have a roku/apple tv/ android tv, I believe that xfinity has an app you can install and connect your account to. I am not an xfinity subscriber, so I can't walk you through it, but I do believe that I have seen the apps available for those platforms.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have a samsung product that now supports Xfinity Stream app and just purchased a Roku Stick to have that app in another room without having to deal with a cable box and just stream the channels you would normally get on the digital cable. Hope this answer helps.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I use a roku on two tvs in my house and use the xfinity app and it works pretty well, although when you ff on it, you cannot see the pic fastforwarding so you have to guess how long commercials are, about 2 minutes on it or rewind/forward. the xfinity app is a beta test so it needs improvement but works well enough for now. On one tv on a porch vizio 720dpi used a roku express stick for $24 and on one in my bedroom on an older samsung 1080dpi used a roku 4 and both work fine. You do have to go up or down on channels using arrows the long way though. I love roku, easy to use, and they have a number to help you.
