Xfinity Flex Review - It's FREE ... but is it WORTH IT?

Is the Xfinity Flex a good cord cutting device? If I was brand new to cord cutting -- and I mean BRAND new -- like, I’d never signed up for Hulu, I’d never even heard of Roku, and I’m getting my first-ever streaming device, then the Xfinity Flex would be … okay? Maybe?

Thanks for this. I was wondering whether to order it. But I already have a Roku and I don't see this adding anything to it. If anything, it seems like going through a lot of aggravation to get less than what I already have.

No extra charge, this is the same package price as before. It is a tool the company is using for customer retention. The happier you are the longer you stay a customer. If you enjoy the xfinity flex box experience you might be inclined to upgrade to the full experience of the X1 video platform. See how it works. Although if you choose to stay and just enjoy the flex box, well then that is fine too.

@michaelrowe5896 4 года назад

Good review. I just hooked up my flex for the second time and it is a decent box, but yes Roku, fire and Android are definitely much better. The remotes I've always liked with the backlit buttons but it's too big for my taste when it comes to a streaming box remote (love my shield 2019 pro, fire and Roku remotes) :).... I didn't like the UI much and the remote buttons are pretty hard to press compared to the others (just me nit picking). May obviously it does have Hulu but compared to the other streamers I have like you mentioned, it does not have the option to scroll through the add on channels like HBO, STARZ etc. At the top of the Hulu screen like the others do which is a bummer. When I search the networks with flex on Hulu for HBO, it just shows me Conjuring in my stuff which is weird. But hey it was free as only a WiFi customer. Can't beat free! 😃 It is a great idea, but it's just ehhh IMO. Shield tv def beats all of them but at $200 it better lol.

@dianakubec3657 3 года назад

As our first baby step towards cord cutting, Flex helps. I do look forward to the next step and cutting Flex out all together. It has it's frustrations; for example, if the box gets turned even a smidgen, the remote doesn't work until it's put back into a precise position. Despite the frustrations, it's worth saving 1,000 dollars a year off the bill. Great video by the way; Flex for Dummies!

I have been using the flex box for over a month now and it works great for me. Coming from Xfinity cable I like the remote it's will made. I mostly use it to watch RU-vid. I don't even miss having cable. I can watch local and cable news clips on demand and live sometimes. Before I got the flex box I thought about getting a subscription to sling but not anymore. Plenty of content.

@noreason301 2 года назад

Hulu will be available in March. I Had roku and apple tv in the early years and trust me they didn't either have hardly any apps.For a free 4k streaming device it's very nice and quality made .I believe xfinity made right choice with this for internet only customers,I believe before long you will have the spotify and disney before it's all said and done , I suggest if you can get this for free I would ,you can always send it back but I believe you will see it's TRUE potential before long.

@isaacalvarez534 4 года назад

And they'll raise the prices without notifying the customer. My bill went up almost 50% in less than two months after I accepted a year plan and was promised my plan would never change or increase. If that wasn't bad enough they took out some channels and lowered my internet speed. I have no other options where I live cause unfortunately Xfinity is the best "service" that's available in my area. I tried at&t but that was a complete nightmare.

This unit was offered when I completed my cheap 1 year starter offer with Xfinity. I picked a new offer for existing customers which dropped the bill from 69.00 to 45.00. I use my own cable modem and a separate WiFi router. The flex easily connected to WiFi and was up and running. Mine must be a stripped down model. No number buttons on the remote. I used it on my projector, since my main big tv already has streaming. The directional, fussy IR remote sucks! I need to see if this one has an RF option.. I doubt it does.

Great video review. It’s very accurate given my experience. But a couple of things. The first flex box is free. Each additional one is a monthly fee.

More apps and you can jailbreak them to get tons of new, free movies.

I had the same issue with my remote set up, and wasted plenty of time searching for the basics I am used to on my Firestick or Roku. That being said, the Flex appears to be a good introduction to Cord Cutting for a Newbie, or someone who gets frustrated quickly at electronics or changes. The Flex will be easier to use for guests because it is easy point & shoot & immediate results. The Home Screen mirrors the Roku or Firestick and that will help the faint hearted Cord Cutters.

It doesn’t matter what i watch the screen goes black and then goes back to the main menu after 5-7 minutes. I’ve tried resetting, refreshing and checked all the settings. (Possibly just a bad box) I also noticed it can not be powered off so i wonder if it’s going to eat up my data at night while it’s not being used. There has to be a reason why they’re giving it away for free. Curious to see if i’ll have a separate tax for internet and tv now.

@rkmacdonald 4 года назад

One thing I noticed that you didn't mention is that if you have X1 Flex system, you can add broadcast TV (for $$$) to get regular TV channels without adding any other hardware. I just wanted the local channels, so I subscribed to the minimum cable offering. But the really slick thing for us 'non-cord-cutters' is that you don't need a regular cable box at the TV like you used to have to. When using the little Flex box, your regular TV channels come wirelessly from the Gateway (Modem/Router) just like the streaming channels! And you use the remote to 'combine' your streaming and your regular TV into one spot and one Remote. And the voice input on the Remote allows you to search for content and you may find some on the TV channels and others on the streaming channels all grouped together. This reduces clutter quite a bit, because now you don't have to have the old style cable box at each TV or a cable outlet either. You just place one of these little flex boxes with each TV and it connects wirelessly back to the Gateway, and you get regular TV and streaming channels on every TV. There can be as many as 5 TVs hooked to one Gateway this way.

@ju1ianv1002 3 года назад

hi, im in the same boat, my flex box is coming in a couple days and i have youtube tv but it doesnt seem worth it to have a youtube tv subscription if i cant access the app. what did end up doing ?

@Dishpjl Год назад

Have two Rokus. Just dumped cable TV and installed the flex on the TV I watch most. It is a dumb TV. Now I’m trying to figure out how I stream content from the web (History Channel’s Alone) etc. I follow directions well but much of this is new to me. You mention it is better to use a Cat 5 (yes I know we are on to Cat 6) but I’m unclear whether I’m running that from the wall to the Flex or from the TV to the Flex? I’d try it but the Sony tv is hanging on the wall and fairly challenging to maneuver myself. Thanks

Good video. Please answer is there anything free at all, like if you don't have any accounts like Netflix etc, anything at all free? The news? Anything?

@patricjft 4 года назад

They're way too late with this. Maybe 10 years ago, it would've been viable. But, now, we are all into our other streaming devices and this really doesn't bring anything the others don't already do better.

it has a full remote that makes it much easier for typing and navigation

@charlienyc1 4 года назад

@@1jasonover You can use your phone as a remote for at least Roku, and probably Apple TV & Fire Stick too. With your phone you have a keyboard and can use voice-to-text. At least for me the remote is secondary to the main box.

@honeyandbrook1680 3 года назад

I get to watch stuff from xfinity I cannot watch on my other devices. Stuff I paid for, stuff I had recorded. Free streams of shows I like from their own platform.

@dennisp8520 3 года назад

They have one thing they do better, the answer is the voice remote. That alone makes it a good pick. Also free, you can't beat free

@dennisp8520 3 года назад

@RyuHayabusa751 yes but everything else costs money like I said free is hard to beat. Plus no service to date has nailed the voice remote yet. Alot of them may have have them and be able to do simple things like "Open Netflix" however none that I have had experience with will let me say "Wolf of Wall Street" then search through all the available watch options in seconds and bring right to where I can watch it. For example, fire stick will search Amazon but not sift through Netflix and open Netflix for me to watch it kind of deal. Yea you can't download apps but the vast majority that matter or I should say the ones that I subscribe to are already there with the exception of Crunchyroll for anime but meh its not gunna kill me

After I watched it, I changed my mind and I didn't order my free flex.

@moonlightblossom9281 3 года назад

Why? It’s free

@DyLemmaOG 3 года назад

@@moonlightblossom9281 because it's damn near useless. There's like 20 apps total and they are all garbage... why would you want that when you could just pay a one time fee of 25 bucks for a 500000000000000x better device.

I've had my Flex for less than a week, and I'm going back to my Roku. This was a great informational video. Flex has some work to do.

@theguyfromwalgreens 3 года назад

I’m further behind than you. I hadn’t heard about it(and probably still wouldn’t) until I called & said that I wanted to lower my bill by dropping the cable while keeping the phone & internet. The agent was faster than Usain Bolt to offer this service after she tried to get me some poopy short term deal beefier going back to my sky high rate.

I'm passing on this xfinity has been pushing this hard because I'm a internet subscriber.

@dennisp8520 3 года назад

Their pushing it to give you more reason to choose them over another internet provider like FiOS. It's free so no point not to use it

We watch tv rarely and have xfinity internet and cable. Would xfinity flex allow me to drop the cable part of my bill? How do I find a list of the live tv channels?

It's also free with your internet through Xfinity... All these other services cost extra

@chalabrooks5433 4 года назад

By Rokus or Firesticks for all your TVs instead of just using the Xbox one. My son only use his for gaming and I installed a Roku on his TV. He has access to the Xfinity Stream app since we still have the X1 platform with DVR.😏

Nvidia Shield is my streaming device. I could never allow myself to use a limited option device such as the Flex, which in all reality keeps you on the Xfinity bandwagon. No thanks!

@kimchee94112 2 года назад

Just received the package, the remote is different without a key pad, etc. Why was a coax included if Comcast wanted me to cut the cord? As for the coax, no info provided on the written getting started page or on the Xfinity Flex video.
