Comcast Now, new streaming option,
anyone tried it.

Only that I know the Peacock freebee is going away sometime in the future and it looks like Comcast wants $20 for this
Now TV product, which to me is their way of getting you to pay for the free Peacock, but you would anyway and with this
comes a lot of other channels.

"Today, Comcast unveiled NOW TV a new streaming offering that includes 40+ live channels from A+E Networks, AMC,
Hallmark and Warner Bros. Discovery, plus 20+ integrated FAST channels from NBC, Sky and Xumo Play, and a subscription
to Peacock Premium at no additional cost."

Seems to duplicate a few channels that I already pay for with my 2nd from top pier cable subscription.
Some of these would be nice for me, Sky for one if I read between the lines, I think that has Formula 1 races. AMC
would be nice.

Might be a good choice for anyone with 'basic' channel lineup subscription for Xfinity.

The Verge has a bit of info.

This kinda says the same thing. Both links here are just days old.

And according to one of the links, it hasn't started yet, so no testing.

Yup. Signed up yesterday.

Using it on the FlexBox, have not tried on other devices. Works great.

I'll keep the service until Bidenflation causes the price to go up.

Ducking Femocrats!

Can this be used to replace Comcast Ultrimate TV package? I know the
Ultimate is suppose to carry 185 channels so doubt the new NOW will be
equal, but does it have your local TV channels? How does its DVR
feature compare to a normal Xfinity TV box?

I have a friend on a very limited budget and is looking to use NOW to
cut the cost of her Xfinity bill.

No locals. I use Silicon Dust HDHomeRun FLEX 4K boxes on antennas for over-the-air stuff.

I've never had an Xfinity TV box so don't know.
