Comcast customers can get the company’s on demand on-line offering at no charge as part of a beta test. The company said the service, called Fancast XFINITY TV and delivered through the Internet, gives customers “quick and easy access to thousands of hours of cable TV shows, movies and independently produced content.”
The new offering expands on Comcast’s Fancast.com offering, which provides television content to any Internet user. XFINITY TV lets Comcast subscribers use the Internet to access additional channels in their subscription packages.
In a press release, Amy Banse, president of Comcast Interactive Media, said, “This is a beta product only, but the consumer feedback has been great so far. We look forward to more feedback as we make it available to even more customers. We think Fancast XFINITY TV gets use one step closer to our multiplatform goal and is just the beginning of delivering an entirely new TV viewing experience.”
