I've been using Xfinity Beta App on several Roku devices with good results. The App is not as full featured as the Xfinity Box, but as apps go it does a pretty good job.

I've had several Fire Sticks, but much prefer the Roku devices. They're all within a similar price range. For me, the Fire Stick presentation is just too busy. I appreciate the simplicity of the Roku interface.

I suspect a fire Stick will work for you, but for a few bucks consider a Roku device.

One great virtue of the Roku is that most everyone writes apps for it. So if you want a strange app there is a good chance that Roku will accept it.

Many TV with built in apps limit their selection of apps to a small selection of the most popular apps.
