Streaming TV competition made the cable box better than ever.

Here’s a sentence I never thought I’d write: I really like my cable box.

I recently upgraded from one of those fusty old boxes to Comcast’s Xfinity X1 box, and the difference is insane. Rather than remember hundreds of channel numbers, I just say, “the Warriors game” into the voice-enabled remote and it jumps to the right place. With one search, I can find content across live TV, on-demand and even Netflix.
