Comcast Release Android Xfinity TV App

Xfinity Android app

Android phone and tablet owners are rising in numbers, and those who subscribe to Comcast can now get hold of the Xfinity Android mobile App. Users get all kinds of useful stuff, such as email retrieval, DVR settings, voicemail, TV listings and more. But no mobile streaming yet!

Following in the footsteps of it’s iPhone Xfinity app cousin, the Android version allows users to check the tv listings and schedule recordings on their DVR. The free to download app also offers access to other Comcast services like VoIP voicemail and Comcast’s email service. The app can run on any phone running Android 1.6 or above and can be downloaded by any user so long as they have a Googlemail account from the Android Market.

The Xfinity TV service is an online option for all Comcast subscribers, and an effort to compete against the influx of internet TV services from companies such as Apple, Netflix and Google TV. The service makes available to stream around 150,000 TV shows and movies.

Speaking about the app, Cathy Avgiris, senior VP said:- “We’re excited to broaden the availability of our Xfinity Mobile app to Android devices, as we know there were many customers awaiting this release. We won’t stop here. We’ll continue to extend access to our services outside the home with convenient apps that our customers can use anywhere, anytime and on as many different devices as possible.”

The app also lets users re-route phone calls from the home phone to mobile when not at home. The bad news though is that because this is not an Xfinity TV app, the app does not include any streaming services. A bit of a big omission for a cable subscriber on the move, however Comcast have promised that future updates will enable streaming of TV and movies.
