Cloud-supported X1 TV App Coming Soon

There are millions of cable TV subscribers throughout the country who’ve been enjoying enhanced viewing experiences via XFINITY’s X1 platform since it was released a little while back. Judging from the many glowing reviews, it seems that the expansive range of features and extremely user-friendly interface that it offers have revolutionized the way in which many people watch television. It’s truly proven itself to be many things to many different people. Now, there are plans in the pipeline to extend the functionality and fun that are characteristics of the X1 platform to mobile users throughout the country. The soon-to-be-released cloud-supported X1 TV app is the tool that the company intends to use to achieve this objective. It promises to instantly transform your mobile device – whether smartphone or tablet – into a feature-rich mobile TV. This will allow you to channel all of your favorite X1 features (and XFINITY programming) through the mobile device of your choice.

 

Tapping into the power of the cloud

This soon-to-be-released X1 TV app will allow millions of Americans to use their ever-present mobile devices to tap into the amazing capabilities provided by current and emerging cloud computing technologies. Internet Protocol (IP) streaming is the means by which you’ll be able to access all of the content that you’ve become so use to seeing on the TV sets within your home. All of this will be made possible by tapping into remote cloud-supported network resources that eliminate the need for you to rely on your trusty XFINITY X1 box. The only hardware that you’ll need is your smartphone or tablet. The successful installation of the app on any of these devices will pave the way for you to do a wide variety of things, including:   

           

           

• Watch live TV

There are various XFINITY apps that make it possible for subscribers to watch live streams of their favorite programs on their respective mobile devices. (The XFINITY TV Go app is one of the most popular examples) The new cloud-supported X1 app will extend this critical capability to its users as well.  

 

• Use video On Demand services

The extensive range of video On Demand services offered by Comcast allows you to assume power over programming like never before. The cloud-supported X1 app will place many of these capabilities right at your fingertips. You’ll be able to watch episodes of all your favorite TV shows and movies on your mobile device – just like you would’ve while cozying up on your couch at home. (The XFINITY On Demand library features thousands of exciting titles that can provide you with hours of riveting entertainment while away from your home.)  

 

• Use digital video recording features

Missing must-see programming is not something that the average XFINITY subscriber has to worry about. This peace of mind is due to the fact that they’re able to rely on a comprehensive range of digital video recording features. These features make it possible for all of your favorite programming to be recorded and stored for viewing at any later time that’s more convenient for you. The soon-to-be-released cloud-supported X1 app extends many of these convenient capabilities to the mobile device on which it’s installed. Instead of merely using your smartphone or tablet to control recordings on your XFINITY X1 box, you’ll soon be able to initiate recordings and enjoy playback on your mobile device of choice.   

 

What can you do with cloud-supported services?

More and more providers are relying on cloud-supported services to adequately cater to the needs of their customers. TV service providers are among those who are lining up to leverage the amazing capabilities of this rapidly evolving technology. Here are some of the things that many of the popular cloud-supported services allow you to do:

 

• Back up your data

Backing up your data is vital. Cloud-supported services allow you to do just that with relative ease. They offer reliable and convenient storage of your data. They also facilitate equally easy retrieval so that you can quickly and efficiently proceed with what you’ve got to do. The fact that the data is stored off-site (remotely) means that you’ll rarely have to worry if the copy that’s stored on-site (locally) gets compromised in some way. Even in such instances, there’s always a good chance that you’ll have the cloud-stored data to fall back on.

   

• Access network resources from anywhere

Users of cloud-supported services are typically able to access network resources from any remote location at which they happen to find themselves. This ease of access is based on the existence of a reliable Wi-Fi connection between the user (and the device they’re using) and the remote server on which the networked resources – inclusive of data – are stored. This is usually not the case with a hardwired network, which characteristically requires the user to maintain a physical connection between the device they’re using and the server at all times.

 

The XFINITY X1 platform provides Comcast customers with a wide range of very useful features. It also enhances their respective user experiences with a friendly and easily navigable interface that makes finding what you want to watch a breeze. The imminent release of a cloud-supported X1 TV app promises to extend all of this functionality to the mobile devices of millions of subscribers.
