A federal jury in Florida ordered Comcast to pay digital television provider WhereverTV $213 million for infringing its video-streaming patents. The verdict, reached on October 15, 2026, found that Comcast’s Xfinity X1 platform unlawfully used WhereverTV’s technology to combine traditional cable and satellite channels with streaming services in a single interactive guide.
WhereverTV filed the lawsuit in 2018. A 2023 trial ended when a judge dismissed the case in Comcast’s favor before it reached the jury. An appellate court overturned that decision in July 2025 and sent the case back for a new trial, which produced the verdict against Comcast.
