Comcast (NASDAQ:CMCSA) plans to launch its X1 DVR with cloud technology and live in-home streaming TV to new Xfinity TV customers in the company's Boston region and to additional markets later this year.

While in the home, customers will be able to watch DVR recordings over Comcast's managed IP network on their mobile devices and computers; "check out" DVR recordings by downloading them directly to a mobile device to take on the go; and access the X1 interface and live stream most of their TV channel lineup to IP-connected devices.
