Popular channels available with Xfinity Ultimate

Xfinity’s Ultimate package has all* of the top 30 most popular channels. And 26 of those are high-definition (HD) channels. That’s one more HD channel than the next plan down, Starter.

(*Variety¹ lists Adult Swim at #30, while Cartoon Network sits at #50 on the publication’s list. They’re separate networks, but Adult Swim airs at night on Cartoon Network. So Xfinity considers Cartoon Network a single channel.)

Inclusion and diversity channels available with Xfinity Ultimate

Taste the rainbow! Preferred includes a total of 27 channels focused on stories for the LGBTQ+ community, people of color, Spanish speakers, and women. Fifteen of these are HD channels. It’s a bit of a drag that there’s only one LGBTQ+ channel, but you can add more with Xfinity’s HERE TV on-demand add-on ($7.99 a month).

Xfinity on-demand packages

Remember a little bit ago where we suggested adding the HERE TV on-demand pack for more LGBTQ+ movies and shows? Well, you can add more stiff-upper-lip Brit-watch, anime, animal, fitness, educational, kid stuff, definitely not-for-kids stuff, and more with Xfinity’s on-demand add-ons.
