Th service is added to its subscription VOD service that customers can access for an additional fee of $5.99 per month. This marks one of the best cable deals of the year, as it will enable Comcast<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> subscriber\u2019s access to the wide range of documentaries and informative programming offered by CuriosityStream\u2122. It is the first time that CuriosityStream\u2122 is engaged with a distribution deal with an MVPD.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Started in 2015, CuriosityStream\u2122 is a standalone OTT service that has eventually expanded into other notable distribution platforms like Amazon Channels and VRV. CuriosityStream\u2122 has stated that it will roll out its service through the platform in HD resolution. The SVOD service, however, expressed optimism for the next year as they plan to offer their contents in 4K resolution currently available in their library. Besides, the SVOD service is not delivered through OTT to the subscriber within the distribution agreement with Comcast<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Due to this, CuriosityStream\u2122 does not fall under the internet usage policies put forward by Comcast<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>. The recently concluded deals with Comcast<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> and VRV have resulted in an increase in their subscriber base although the service has not released the official numbers. The service is available under its direct-to-customer OTT subscription plans as CuriosityStream\u2019s Premium tier consisting of both 4K and HD for $11.99 per month. The Standard and Basic tier is available for $5.99 and $2.99 per month<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2094\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2094\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2094\" class=\"wp-image-2094 size-medium\" title=\"Msos Xfinity\u00ae Stream App \" src=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Best-Cable-Deals-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Best Cable Deals\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Best-Cable-Deals-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Best-Cable-Deals.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2094\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em><strong>Set-Top Box VOD Platform <\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Subscribers of Comcast<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> pay TV can easily access the service through voice control by saying \u201ccuriositystream\u201d in their X1 voice remote or through the Xfinity<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> app\/portal. Besides, the legacy and new X1 set-top boxes of Comcast<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> would also have this SVOD service. According to CuriosityStream\u2122, its service will include more than 1700 files and series in the next year. It is currently offering popular shows like David Attenborough\u2019s Life On Earth, Stephen Hawking\u2019s Favorite Places, Prescription: Nutrition, and Deep Time History.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Chief distribution officer for CuriosityStream\u2122, Clint Stinchcomb said, \u201cJoining Xfinity<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> On Demand\u2019s strong lineup marks an exciting day for CuriosityStream\u2122. We\u2019ve designed our service to make it as easy as possible for subscribers to find the content they most like, in the interests they are the most passionate.
