It\u2019s built upon the company\u2019s X1 operating system that already powers the Xfinity Flex streaming box and the Xfinity X1. As a result, it offers all the bells and whistles that one expects from a smart TV platform.<\/p>\n<p>Like many other smart TV platforms on the market, it makes it easy to reach the content you love and enjoy. A key part of the platform is \u201cLaunchpad.\u201d It\u2019s the top bar on the platform\u2019s home screen, and it shows the most recent things a consumer is watching. It can be a show on Netflix or a channel on the connected digital antenna or a device connected to an HDMI input.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-774722\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/XClass-TV-ShowMeTrolls_universal_search.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"XClass TV Universal Search\" width=\"650\" height=\"400\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Comcast<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It also comes with universal search that looks through all your <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>s and services to find what you want. Moreover, the search filters the results you can access for free, making it easier to find free content.<\/p>\n<p>Voice control is also possible on the XClass TV, and all the televisions running on the platform come with a remote that has a microphone and a voice button to speak what you need. But it doesn\u2019t use Google Assistant, Alexa, or Siri. Instead, the company is using proprietary voice <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Among other features, you get parental controls, the ability to add content to your list, XClass TV remote app, and more.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_Apps_are_Available_on_XClass_TV\"><\/span>Which Apps are Available on XClass TV?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-774726\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/xclass_tv_apps.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"XClass TV apps\" width=\"650\" height=\"366\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Comcast<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Apps are a vital part of any platform. They can make or break it. Fortunately, XClass TV has a decent number of apps, but it falls short compared to Android TV or Amazon Fire TV platforms.<\/p>\n<p>Still, you get access to popular streaming services, like Prime Video, Disney+, Hulu, HBO Max, Peacock, and <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube<\/a>. As of late 2021, some popular services like Apple TV+ and Starz are missing, but these apps are <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/decider.com\/2021\/12\/08\/comcast-hisense-xclass-tv-andrew-olson-interview\/\">expected to become available in the first quarter of 2022<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If you are a cord-cutter, you\u2019ll be happy to know that the platform also supports YouTube TV, Sling, Hulu + Live TV, and other live TV streaming platforms.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, the apps on the XClass TV platform are not native. Instead, they are dynamically pulled from the cloud, like a web app. So the platform doesn\u2019t come with an app store, and you can just search for any available app, and it\u2019ll launch without being installed. You can find the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.xclasstv.com\/shop#applist\">complete list of available apps on the XClass TV website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_You_Need_to_Be_on_Comcast_to_Get_an_XClass_TV\"><\/span>Do You Need to Be on Comcast to Get an XClass TV?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Unlike Comcast\u2019s Xfinity Flex device that is exclusive to the company\u2019s broadband users, televisions running on the XClass TV are available to everyone. They can even be purchased in the markets where Comcast isn\u2019t present. Additionally, you don\u2019t need to be a part of the Comcast ecosystem to use these televisions. That said, you still require a free XClass TV account to use the platform effectively.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Get_an_XClass_TV\"><\/span>How to Get an XClass TV?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-774723\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/hisense_xclass_tv.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Hisense XClass TV A6GX\" width=\"650\" height=\"400\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Hisense<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Being a new platform, XClass TV is currently available only on a single television\u2014the Hisense A6GX\u2014in the US.

However, it\u2019s a good idea to wait for some time to get more televisions with the XClass TV platform to reach the market so that you have some choice while picking a new TV. Television manufacturers are likely to bring new XClass TV models in 2022.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"XClass_TV_Alternatives\"><\/span>XClass TV Alternatives<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Like any new platform, Comcast\u2019s XClass TV will have some growing pains, like missing apps or a limited selection of hardware. But if you don\u2019t want to deal with these growing pains or the platform just doesn\u2019t excite you, there are several other smart TV options that you can use.<\/p>\n<p>Roku, Fire TV, and Android TV are three major smart TV platforms that are available on televisions from Sony, TCL, Hisense, and more. You can also get streaming devices using these platforms that you can plug into any TV with an HDMI port.<\/p>\n<p>Other TV makers like LG, Samsung, and Vizio use their own smart TV platforms. So overall, there is plenty of choice in the market.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
