![]() The Xfinity’s flagship DVR, the X1, is one of the industry’s best, with the ability to record 6 shows at once with 500 GB of storage. Xfinity doesn’t do a great job of describing their basic receiver or DVR, but you will be able to choose from a basic SD receiver (no extra charges), an HD receiver or “DVR Service.” Xfinity X1 ![]() If you choose an HD receiver or a DVR, you’ll pay extra costs for those services, but not for the basic receiving those devices are doing. With every package, your first TV receiver is included in the price of your package. There is also a Latino add on option for English TV plans if you’d rather not choose one of their Latino TV packages. There are tons of on On Demand options, including movie packages, exercise channels, a karaoke network and a lot more. All the usual premium channels like HBO, Showtime, STARZ, Cinemax, The Movie Channel are available, as well as the Xfinity-exclusive Streampix. One of Comcast’s strengths is the number of add on package you can choose from. That can be broken down: $10 per month for the DVR service, plus your $9.95 HD fee. Xfinity’s biggest cost is DVR service, which costs $19.95 a month. Locals will cost you up to $7 a month, while regional sports networks are up to $5 per month. There are extra fees for both broadcast TV (that’s your local channels) and regional sports. Depending on what you’re used to, your TV and how much you watch TV, no HD may not be an issue, or it may be a big problem. If you choose a package that isn’t specifically listed as “HD” (in some areas there are no HD options), you’ll pay up to $10 a month to upgrade to HD service instead of digital. You’re not going to find a cable provider with everything you want included, and Xfinity is no exception. That means it’s going to be an expensive year to be a Comcast customer.What’s Not Included in a New Xfinity TV Package? If people go over this allotment, they’ll be charged $10 per 50GB, up to $100 in a month. In Chicago, for example, the Choice TV package is increasing from $25 to $30 per month.Īt the same time as these price hikes, Comcast also said this week it’d impose a home internet data cap of 1.2TB per month in more than a dozen states next year. ![]() Some TV packages might also see increases, but Comcast tells Ars Technica it depends on the service area.
