Comcast iPad App

Comcast for iPad and Android (also known as XFinity TV") is a bit different than the rest of the other Cable and Dish TV apps.  It has the TV Listings like many of the other TV apps and also let’s you control your DVR and work as a giant remote control. Unlike some others that show selected channels, live TV or streaming shows from your DVR, Cable/Satellite Box, it streams only from On Demand.

On Demand is not a bad choice in a market that is still trying to work out a working business model.  On Demand does include access to Premium On Demand such as HBO, Showtime and Starz.

Other than no live channels yet, the only drawback is that the Comcast TV app only works on WiFi for iPad.  Android users do not have the same drawback.  We believe AT&T might be flexing its muscle to prohibit such things over its network and other companies like Verizon just get caught up in the same rule.

With 3.5 out of 5 stars this is a pretty decent app that will only get better with time.
