Comcast recently started to roll out a live TV streaming service called Instant TV that includes locals and add-ons. You need Comcast Internet, and you need to live in a Comcast market that offers the service, but you could get your locals for $20 from Comcast streaming online. Or for $25 you could add sports and news channels to the service.

The Comcast Xfinity Stream Beta not only lets you stream Instant TV but also any Comcast TV package.

Right now Comcast’s live TV streaming service is only on Roku and select Samsung Smart TVs. Now our sources inside Comcast have confirmed to Cord Cutters News that select LG TVs will be getting an Xfinity Live TV app soon.
