“Watching TV was designed to be a relaxing, lean-back
experience, but today’s fractured entertainment landscape has added
a level of complexity that makes finding something to watch more
burdensome for consumers,” said Marcien Jenckes, President, Xumo.
“When we started Xumo, we set out with the ambition to take the
decades of entertainment experience and technical innovation from
Comcast and Charter and build a complete entertainment experience
that breaks down the streaming silos and makes TV easy again.”
“Xumo is streaming simplified, bringing a live TV experience
together with all the top apps,” said Rich DiGeronimo, President,
Product and Technology for Charter. “With Xumo Stream Box,
customers have endless entertainment options simplified, with
aggregated search across apps and curated content offerings based
on the customer’s interests and subscriptions, which will be even
more powerful as direct-to-consumer apps are included with Spectrum
service.”
Xumo Stream Box makes it easy for customers to quickly jump into
their favorite live, on-demand or streaming content, but also
enables seamless discovery of new programming through an
integrated, content-forward interface and voice remote.
- Leading with live: Upon startup, customers will see
live video playing from the device’s primary video service app such
as Spectrum TV, Xfinity Stream or Xumo Play. Additionally, a
built-in channel guide makes browsing through subscribed channels a
seamless part of the Entertainment OS experience. - Hundreds of
built-in apps: Xumo Stream Box comes with the ability to access
hundreds of subscription-based and ad-supported streaming apps,
including Apple TV+, Disney+, Hulu, Max, Netflix, Peacock, Pluto,
Prime Video, Tubi, Xumo Play and more. - Seamless browsing:
A curated, content-forward viewing experience that blends AI-driven
personalization and human-led editorial recommendations to help
customers find something to watch without having to jump in and out
of apps. - Universal voice search: Emmy-award winning voice
technology allows customers to discover content quickly from
available apps and services with a simple voice command into the
remote. - Favorite lists for every member of the household:
With My List, customers can create multiple lists of their favorite
shows and movies – regardless of where that content lives or how
it’s delivered (live or on-demand) – giving every member of the
family a personalized destination to quickly jump into what they
want to watch next.
For Spectrum customers, Xumo Stream Box leverages the Spectrum
TV App, the country’s highest-rated pay TV streaming app* and most
viewed streaming service.**New Spectrum video customers receive one
device for no cost for the first year. Additional Xumo Stream Boxes
are available directly from Spectrum to purchase or for a service
fee.
Additionally, Comcast will soon offer Xumo Stream Box to new
Xfinity Internet customers, providing yet another way to enjoy all
their favorite live and on-demand streaming content in one
easy-to-use experience.
Xumo Stream Box joins Sky Glass and Sky Stream as the latest
device powered by Entertainment OS. Comcast built the Entertainment
OS platform upon open-source RDK technology which processes 40
million voice commands a day and delivers five billion streams per
week across over 100 million Comcast, Sky, Xumo, and syndication
partners devices.
