Why It Matters
Research shows that consumers often feel frustrated by the overwhelming amount of content available across streaming platforms. Managing multiple services can turn the search for something to watch into a chore.
Cox Communications addresses these challenges with the launch of the Xumo Stream Box, designed to simplify the streaming experience for its Internet customers. Powered by Comcast’s latest Entertainment OS, Xumo Stream Box allows Cox users to:
Watch More, Search Less
- Customers can easily find shows or movies by simply saying the title into the included voice remote. Xumo Stream Box will search across all available apps and services to locate it.
- Utilizing AI-driven personalization alongside a dedicated team of editors, Xumo Stream Box offers tailored content recommendations, helping users discover what to watch without the hassle of switching between apps.
Enjoy All the Best Apps with Enhanced Personalization
- The device comes preloaded with hundreds of streaming apps, including live services like YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, Sling TV, and Fubo, as well as popular apps such as Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, Max, and Peacock. Users can launch any service by voicing its name into the remote.
- With the “My List” feature, Cox customers can create personalized viewing lists for each family member. A single click allows users to add any show or movie available on Xumo Stream Box to their list, making it easier to choose what to watch next.
Enhance the Streaming Experience
- The built-in channel guide offers seamless browsing through Xumo Play’s 350+ free live channels, which include local and national news, movies, sports, reality shows, and kids programming.
- By saying “free” into the voice remote, users can discover thousands of on-demand movies and TV shows from apps like Tubi, Pluto TV, and Xumo Play.
The launch of Xumo Stream Box marks a significant step for Cox in evolving its entertainment offerings to meet customer needs. Joining the Contour device, it leverages Comcast’s award-winning entertainment and voice technology, providing broadband customers with the same seamless search and content discovery that TV customers enjoy.
“We designed Xumo Stream Box to eliminate the complexity of streaming and help customers find their favorite programs faster, while also facilitating the discovery of new content,” said Michael Gatzke, Senior Vice President, Affiliate Development, Xumo. “Cox is now the fourth U.S.-based operator, following Xfinity, Spectrum, and Mediacom, to offer Xumo Stream Box, highlighting a successful year of growth for our streaming devices.”
Xumo Stream Box exemplifies Cox’s commitment to meeting its customers’ evolving needs with a flexible entertainment solution that complements Cox Internet. Over the past decade, the company has invested nearly $12 billion in network upgrades to provide robust communications and entertainment services and plans to continue investing multibillion-dollar amounts annually in infrastructure for years to come. Additionally, Cox has recently launched Cox Mobile, offering flexible, affordable connectivity options for customers outside the home.
