A CableCARD can be used with TiVo or CableCARD-ready televisions to access our video services without leasing one of our TV Boxes or DTAs.
Starting on October 24, 2024, Xfinity will no longer provide new CableCARDs to new or existing customers. If you require new TV equipment, please call 1-800-XFINITY to speak with an agent who can assist.
What will happen
Using a CableCARD device instead of a Comcast TV Box means you will only be able to receive one-way digital cable channels and not be able to receive Xfinity On Demand, pay per view (PPV), or the interactive programming guide.
If you already have a digital cable-ready HDTV set, no special TV Box is required to receive HD signals for broadcast channels. These TVs will also receive any Xfinity TV channels that you currently subscribe to (e.g., ESPN, HBO, or Showtime).
You can also get Comcast service for your digital-ready TV or TiVo device.
Note: Xfinity On Demand HDTV service requires the use of a TV Box from Xfinity TV.
