Comcast To Bring Xfinity in UHD Catalog to
Xfinity TV Go Platforms in 2015
Comcast Corporation (Nasdaq: CMCSA, CMCSK) today announced the
launch of Xfinity in UHD, a 4K Ultra High-Definition (UHD) On
Demand programming app for 2014 Samsung UHD TVs. Debuting with full
current seasons of TV shows from NBC and USA Network, the Xfinity
in UHD app library will continue to expand with On Demand
programming across multiple networks and studios and is completely
free to Xfinity TV customers whose video subscription includes
participating networks.
Beginning today, Xfinity TV customers with 2014 Samsung UHD TVs
can simply download the Xfinity in UHD app from the SMART Hub,
login using their Xfinity credentials, and immediately begin
streaming, via the Internet, every episode of the current season
from hit series including Chicago Fire (NBC), Suits and Covert
Affairs (USA), with Parks and Recreation (NBC) set to debut in
February. Additionally, customers can personalize viewing
experiences within the app by setting parental controls, enabling
closed captioning, and managing audio preferences.
“Our top priority is providing our customers with the best
entertainment experiences, so we are excited to give them the
opportunity to be among the first to enjoy current seasons of some
of the most popular TV shows in pristine Ultra High-Definition,”
said Matt Strauss, Senior Vice President and General Manager of
Video Services for Comcast Cable. “Next year, we will not only
debut the full Xfinity in UHD catalog across our Xfinity TV Go
platforms for all customers to enjoy, but we will begin
distributing a new X1 set-top box that will deliver 4K
content.”
In addition to the Xfinity in UHD app for Samsung UHD TVs,
Xfinity TV customers with 2012 Samsung Smart TVs or Android powered
Samsung Galaxy Tabs can download the Xfinity TV app and enjoy tens
of thousands of Xfinity On Demand choices from their favorite
networks and studios.
