Earlier this year, Comcast rolled out big changes to its internet service. Now it’s revamping its TV offerings.
The company’s new video plans, which offer all-in pricing, are available to new and existing customers. They’re designed to bring “simplicity and transparency” Comcast says, by having a simple, up-front price that includes all major fees and requires no contract or commitment, doesn’t have any equipment rental charges, and doesn’t have promotions that expire and force you to do the “calling and threaten to cancel” dance.

Looking at the fine print, though, it notes that the company’s 30 day money back guarantee only applies to “one month’s recurring service and standard installation charges up to $500,” so there may be an initial installation charge if you’re a new customer.
All TV packages include an X1 4K TV box and voice remote, Comcast said in a release, plus features like multiview, enhanced 4K, StreamStore (a place to browse, purchase, and manage your services), Fan View (a sports companion with scores and stats), more than 300 hours of DVR storage, and access to the Xfinity Stream app. You can add premium channels for an additional charge.

Steve Croney, Comcast’s chief operating officer and incoming chief executive officer of Connectivity and Platforms, explained, “Like we did with Xfinity Internet, we’ve simplified and reimagined our video packages, making it easy and hassle-free for our customers to enjoy great content on the best and most innovative entertainment experience.”
What’s new with Comcast Xfinity TV?
Comcast’s TV offerings now include:
- TV Core: 10+ channels for $65 a month
- Sports and News TV: 50+ channels for $90 a month
- World Soccer Ticket: 55+ channels for $95 a month

The company noted that you can save $10 a month on any of these plans by also being an Xfinity Internet subscriber or add the cable-esque Stream Saver package, which includes Netflix with ads, Apple TV, and Peacock Premium with ads for $15 a month (the normal price is $18 a month).
