Acorn TV, the SVOD service focused on British and international television programs, has gained distribution on Comcast’s set-top box VOD platform and the service provider’s Xfinity Stream app for smartphones, tablets and web browsers.
Acorn TV, a service that’s also marketed as a standalone OTT service, said the agreement with Comcast marks the first time it’s available on an MVPD set-top box.

Acorn TV, a service owned by RLJ Entertainment, is being offered on Comcast set-top boxes via the MSO’s managed VOD system and not over-the-top via the internet.
Acorn TV, which features originals such as BBC comedy Detectorists and ITV drama Girlfriends, is being offered via Comcast for $4.99 per month, the same as the SVOD service’s standalone price.
