Rent or purchase content from Xfinity Stream

You can rent or purchase On Demand movies and shows directly from the Xfinity Stream portal or on the app for Android devices and Amazon Fire TVs. For Roku devices, you'll need Xfinity TV service.

Currently, you can’t rent or purchase On Demand content directly from the Stream app on Samsung TVs, LG Smart TVs or Apple TVs. However, you can watch your rented or purchased movies and shows from those devices.

      • If you have multiple X1 TV Boxes, you can use any of the Purchase PINs you have set.
