X1 Goes Multiscreen in 'Frisco

Comcast (NASDAQ:CMCSA) X1 customers in the San Francisco Bay Area can now access their TV lineup on any connected screen in their home, and also download programs recorded on their DVR to watch on IP-enabled devices or stream them using an Internet connection, anytime and anywhere. The in-home streaming feature provides access to virtually the entire channel line-up and Xfinity On Demand programming on mobile devices and computers. The content is presented via the X1 user experience.

To deliver the new features, Comcast has launched an Xfinity TV app for iOS and Android tablets and smartphones, and a dedicated portal for viewing on computers. Live in-home streaming and X1 DVR with cloud technology are now available in Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Houston, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Washington, DC. Comcast plans to deploy the features to most of its X1 customers by the end of the year.
