How to Easily Install the Xfinity App on Your Sony Smart TV
If you are a Sony Smart TV enthusiast who enjoys the convenience of having all your entertainment apps in one place, you might have already realized that one of the most significant drawbacks of your device is the lack of access to the Xfinity app. The good news is that this problem can be quickly solved. In this guide, we will take you through the steps necessary to make sure that you can finally download and enjoy the Xfinity app on your Sony Smart TV.
Firstly, it is important to note that the Xfinity app is not currently available on Sony Smart TVs officially. However, there is a simple workaround that can allow you to enjoy all the Xfinity apps features on your Sony Smart TV.
Step 1: Install Google Chrome
The first step in this process is downloading and installing Google Chrome onto your Sony Smart TV. Since you cannot download the Xfinity app directly on your Sony Smart TV, using a web browser is the only viable option. So, download and install Chrome from the Google Play Store or any other app store.
Step 2: Open Chrome and Navigate to the Xfinity Stream Website
Once you have installed Google Chrome, open the app on your Sony Smart TV. Navigate to the Xfinity Stream website by typing in www.xfinity.com/stream into your Chrome browser. Once the page loads, click on the three horizontal lines at the top left-hand side of your screen to access the menu.
Step 3: Install Xfinity Stream App
On the menu, click on the "Add to Home screen" option. This action prompts your Sony Smart TV to create an icon for the Xfinity Stream app on your home screen. That way, you can quickly access the app without having to go through the process of navigating to the Xfinity Stream website, each time you want to use it.
Step 4: Log in and Start Streaming
After installing the app, click the icon on your home screen and log in to your Xfinity account. Once you have logged in, you can start browsing and watching your favorite shows. It is worth noting that even though the Xfinity app works on Sony Smart TVs through this method, some features like voice commands and a traditional tv guide may not be available.
In conclusion, while downloading the Xfinity app is not a straightforward process on a Sony Smart TV, using the above method ensures that you can still enjoy the apps content from the comfort of your living room. Keep in mind that different Sony Smart TV models may have the settings in slightly different locations; thus, consulting your device manual may come in handy. |
