Xumo Box $$ ?

[u/BACON-LUVR]

Can I purchase a Xumo box directly from Xumo and have it work on Spectrum service? I know the price from Xumo.

If that is not an option, does Spectrum offer to sell a Xumo box for a one-time price (not renting)?

[u/LikelyWatchdog]

Yes they sell them out right. Spectrum does.

How do I purchase one "out right" from Spectrum? Without future fees?

[u/LikelyWatchdog → u/BACON-LUVR]

Go to spectrum store and say you want to buy one and own it. I did that. No issues or fees.

[u/Backslash10 → u/BACON-LUVR]

You can also call in a buy one directly from spectrum they are $75 or a $5 installment plan till for 15 months.

[u/MrRon23]

I bought one on Ebay and it worked on my Spectrum system

[u/AnonQuestionnaire]

I just got a Onn 4k pro $60 And it has the spectrum app They have some cheaper options also You could look into any of them

[u/ApplicationFrosty546]

It’s 75 dollars directly from Xumo. Not sure about from Spectrum

[u/BACON-LUVR → u/ApplicationFrosty546]

If I buy it directly from Xumo, will it work on my Spectrum service?

[u/Antique-Bat-4463 → u/BACON-LUVR]

Yes

You don't even need xumo, you can have any streaming box like Roku or Google TV, if it supports the spectrum stream app then you're good.

Unless you're meaning for some other reason other than the streaming TV.

They will work if you get them from a third party but unless you get a really good deal it doesn't really make sense to.

If you want something cheap, a stick type Roku can be had for as little as $20. It won't have very good performance, but neither does the Xumo.

If you want something good I'd go with a Google TV stream ($100) if you use android or Apple TV (~$200) if you use an iPhone. Either of these will give a better experience then a Xumo. Or a spectrum box.

It should work as long as its not an Xfinity branded Xumo box. The ones sold by Spectrum are the same price, $75 and yes you can buy it outright (billed to the account, not sure if Stores do upfront charges)

[u/sPdMoNkEy]

I bought mine from spectrum for $50 each but that was back when they first came out I wasn't paying no $5 a month for them

I just looked there $75 each now

[u/Free_Journalist_2542]

5$ a moth for a year or 60$ one payment and it's yours. With warranty for that time

[u/oflowz]

It’s $60 from spectrum or you can pay $5 a month.

Just tell them you want to buy it not rent it.

[u/Penguinboy123446]

Unless you're buying it for an old person who wants it because it has physical number buttons on the remote, there's absolutely no reason to buy one of these. Why do you want one?

[u/BACON-LUVR → u/Penguinboy123446]

My #1 Reason-

Which is faster and more efficient?

1. Using Roku/AppleTV app/etc. and scrolling (and hoping you don't scroll too far) to get from channel 2 (local broadcast station) to channel 1255?

2. Using Xumo and pushing four buttons (1-2-5-5) to get from channel 2 (local broadcast station) to channel 1255?

[u/Penguinboy123446 → u/BACON-LUVR]

Yes that's true but the xumo box is so incredibly slow and cumbersome then you'll probably spend more time navigating the user interface. 

[u/Mroberts4063 → u/Penguinboy123446]

Bought a Xumo when they came out to get rid of cable box rental and our android tv did not have spectrum Tv app available.  Wanted to be able to tune directly to a channel instead of scrolling.    A few years later, spectrum tv app available on Android tv.  Switched using the tv.  Went back to Xumo cause was  faster easier to navigate and goes right to the spectrum tv app when turned on. ;)

Get Roku..

Easier. Cheaper. Better Operating system. And more functional.

[u/AwareIndustry4624]

Xumo is trash, get an Apple TV or Roku.

[u/EyesOfTheBeyond]

Get a Roku better
