CHICAGO (MarketWatch) - Comcast Corp. on Wednesday unveiled
enhancements to its iPad application at the annual Consumer
Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
The largest U.S. cable operator said users of the Apple Inc. tablet
device will soon be able to stream almost everything Comcast systems
are showing live on television, along with 3,000 hours of on-demand
content, wherever there is a wireless Internet connection.
The company had announced in November that it was rolling out its
Xfinity iPad app, which let Comcast subscribers program their digital
video recorders, browse content by keyword or title, create a watch
list of favorite shows, and share viewing choices with others via
social networks.
Comcast and other cable operators are trying to add as much value as
possible to their services in the face of slowing subscription growth
and stiffer competition from phone companies that offer video,
including AT&T and Verizon.
There is also concern that some consumers will combine video services
such as Hulu with Netflix's rental offerings to downgrade their cable
service or cancel it altogether.
