Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Power 800 at 71% against Xfinity Stream's 18%. Power 800 also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Xfinity Stream's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 27 months) and ratings volume (267K vs 3). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
