Two telecommunications giants, Comcast and Charter, have announced the debut of Xumo Stream Box for Spectrum customers now and for Xfinity customers soon.

The Xumo Stream Box emerges as the latest innovation to harness the power of Comcast's Entertainment Operating System (OS), a cutting-edge platform engineered to streamline content discovery across diverse media landscapes.

Marcien Jenckes, President of Xumo, articulates a common frustration in the modern viewing experience: the complexity of navigating through a fragmented entertainment ecosystem. Xumo's mission is to demystify streaming, amalgamating live TV with premier applications.

Rich DiGeronimo, President of Product and Technology for Charter, echoes this sentiment, highlighting the Xumo Stream Box's capability to offer a curated content selection tailored to user preferences and existing subscriptions. This feature set is poised to expand as Spectrum integrates direct-to-consumer applications into its service.

The device is designed for effortless engagement with favored live, on-demand, or streaming content, facilitated by an intuitive interface and a voice-activated remote control.

Key features of the Xumo Stream Box include:

• Instantaneous Live Feed: At launch, the device immediately presents a live feed from a primary video service application, such as Spectrum TV, Xfinity Stream, or Xumo Play, complemented by an integrated channel guide.
• Extensive Application Suite: Users gain access to a vast array of both subscription-based and ad-supported streaming applications, including Apple TV+, Disney+, Hulu, Max, Netflix, Peacock, Pluto, Prime Video, Tubi, and Xumo Play.

• Intelligent Content Aggregation: The interface offers a blend of AI-driven personalization and expert editorial insights, enabling users to seamlessly navigate content without the need to switch between applications.

• Advanced Voice Search: Leveraging Emmy-winning voice recognition technology, the device allows users to swiftly locate content across available services with simple voice commands.

• Customizable Favorites: The 'My List' feature permits the creation of personalized content lists, accessible to each household member, consolidating their preferred viewing choices.

Joining the ranks of Sky Glass and Sky Stream, the Xumo Stream Box is the latest device energized by the Entertainment OS. The platform is built upon the open-source RDK technology, adept at handling 40 million voice commands daily and delivering five billion streams weekly across an extensive network of over 100 million devices from Comcast, Sky, Xumo, and their syndication partners.

For Spectrum subscribers, the Xumo Stream Box is integrated with the Spectrum TV App, renowned as the top-rated pay TV streaming application and the most utilized streaming service. New Spectrum video subscribers are offered the device at no cost for the first year, with additional units available for purchase or via a service fee.
