How To Setup Xfinity Flex Steaming TV Box
In this video I show you step by step how to set up the Xfinity Flex TV Streaming Box. I take you through the installation process with the HDMI Cable and power adapter, then walk you through the on screen set up process. This streaming box can stream the subscriptions you have such as Netflix, Disney Plus, Hulu, and more. I also show you how to pair the voice remote to your TV and give an overview of the different buttons on the remote. Thanks for watching!

EXCELLENT PRESENTATION!!! This 65 year old retired educator really appreciated your patience and thoroughness!!! ✌🏼
I love you! I am a dummy when it comes to tech stuff. Your video was extremely easy and helpful for dummies like me. I was on the verge of canceling my Xfinity service because I couldn’t do the self install. Your video helped me. I love you and helpful people like you. In fact, you should have your own television show to help others who are unable to do these things. I hope that God blesses you and your family forever! You rock!
Thanks for doing your Video. Xfinifty KZread video was no longer available online. I found yours and I was able to connect my TV to the new box!

Talk about a detailed video. Love it 💪🏾. My predicament is getting past the first loading screen. It doesn’t load. Any tips?
Thank you so much it saved lot of my time l was struggling to set up …
Thank you for your video. 2 questions - How is using the Flex device different from what a smart tv already does? and Can you record shows using the Flex device?
Thanks Todd!
Thank you!
That’s the new box. How is the Dolby atmos support on it? Have you tried xfinity stream on it yet?

Is the "eye" on the flex device supposed to be on at all times? Thanks for the video by the way.
Thank you!!
Nice video!! Mine didn't ask me to pair remote. I'm still trying to figure out
Todd, In my set up, I think I missed some steps. How can I go back so that I may disable the voice. And also, add my remote to tv? Thank you in advance.
I can’t get passed the welcome screen . It’s been on there for an hour. I even unplugged and re plugged and same issue

Thank you 🙏
How did you get Disney + app on yours? Mines didn’t have it.
now can you use this with a different wi-fi like AT&T?
Can I get all my regular Xfinity channels with this box that I get with the other hard wired boxes? I have a room where I can't get wires to.
is this supposed to be plugged into your modem or is this my new modem?
Thank you
Can you add Apps from unknown sources, like you can with a Fire TV stick?
Hey, when I turn on my tv, it doesn’t go to the main screen, Xfinity 1 settings. It goes directly to the home setting’s on my Sharp Roku and then tv. How do you set it up as a default to open to xfinity 1 instead of home when you turn on the tv? Would appreciate if you can reply. Thanks!
My Xfinity box has a connection for ethernet connection. The tv I want to use the box for is an LG that's about 10 years-old, and a long distance from my router which is upstairs. Will the Xfinity Flex Streaming TV Box still work?
Does the version of the flex box you used in this tutorial have a power indicator light? Nothing on mine and my tvs do not recognize it.

Hello thanks for the video, can you please let viewers know what to set their TV on.
Mine has a giant grey mouse cursor lined with yellow in the upper left corner of the screen that won't go away. Does anyone know how to fix this?
I connected & everything but like I have a big arrow at the top of TV. How do I get it off?
Could a Flex Box be defective? My Flex will not do anything once I plug it in. No acknowledgment like Welcome, no QR code nothing. Changed out the HDMi and batteries in case they were bad still won’t work.I’m thinking the box is defective
Is this better than the once before this

Hello I have one of the Xfinity Flex Steaming TV Box. But, I don't have unlimited data on the internet. I want to know what channel can I watch without using the data. thanx
What does the sharp mean sorry 😐 but I can't wait to set mine up
You didn't mention whether or not the Xfinity Flex box has an ethernet port for those who want a wired connection.
Do you do voice overs for cartoons?
I set it up and it asked me what language to select and then it asked me if I wanted to keep using voice guidance and I selected no and there was no loading screen pop up my TV just went black there is nothing showing on my TV rn idk what to do.

Will this work off of an internet connection that’s NOT Xfinity?
comcast told me i can get faster internet with this plan/product but i dont see what it does other than connects to a tv and lets you stream. It's getting internet from my existing router/modem, how can that damn box possibly boost my internet bandwidth and speed. I had no idea what they were sending me but now it makes more sense. they are just trying to appease to internet only customers. what does this box have to do with faster internet?
Shame, I would like to use this, but when I get to the part where you would see the apps, it just shows a black screen
Awesome Video !!!!!!!!
Hello Todd, would like to know once you selec the Xfinity App, what does it have on it or where does it take you?
It isn't working with my HDMI switch. I had it plugged into port 2. My HDMI switch got stuck on port 4, and wouldn't turn off or switch to another device. I had to unplug my HDMI switch to fix it.
Glad you made this video but the very think I couldn't figure out how to do, you didn't show. It ask for the last digits of my phone number but no way to enter any numbers??
How much is the streaming box?
The network doesn't work or something when I got to network settings and click wired it doesn't work
Does it has google play store?
How do you add fox sports
Comcast's Dying breath.
Thank you so much , I'm not tech savvy lol
Comcast is telling me that they charge $8.50 per month. I thought it was free as I was already paying for a main box for my main TV and pay for Comcast Internet. So I got this box and went through the steps but it told me to call a number in which I did when I was told by Comcast that its not free but a charge per month. Is this correct or not ?

flex is free to those customer who use Xfinity internet, there is no additional cost, just a heads-up you are not eligible for a flex if you already have a TV box or cable

super late response but it's only a monthly fee if you already have a flex box. you can't get flex if you already have x1 service (cable tv)
I dont get sound cus I only have a pc monitor with no audio port 😫
My Bro sent me TV and Xfinity XR16 from 🇺🇸 USA, and am in Africa Sierra Leone 🇸🇱 I can’t have accessed to it directly to my TV. Showing on the TV’s screen 📺 welcome; I had wanted to create an account but when I entered my phone they say my phone number can’t work from here to there, unless from there to here. 😢😢😢😢😢
I guess I'm the only person in the world who has an AV receiver. Xfinity sent me this stupid thing after I cut the cord, but I'm not dismantling my current setup to "stream" on an already smart TV. Makes no sense.
Anyone else have giant cursor at the top of their screen, hard question to google and I can’t seem to fix it
It's literally doing everything except showing the apps. I don't understand how to get it started. I did everything in the video but it didn't end how yours did

Mine looks different, just got it today. It does NOT have the apps to Disney+ or Discovery+. It also will not allow me use Peacock Premium when it’s free if you’re a customer. Any help would be appreciated. Customer service isn’t great with this company. Thanks.
The volume isn’t working for set up
Mine is stuck on the load screen
I wish mine was that easy. Part of the text that shows up on my tv is off the side of the screen and not viewable. Also when I go to put in my password there are only all caps to chose from. The password they gave me is lowercase. So naturally it did not accept the password. I spent 3 hours today accomplishing nothing.
