Select HBO Shows Goes Online Today with New Comcast Service

Comcast's much anticipated launch of its its "TV Everywhere" service, which allows subscribers to Comcast to watch selected video on their computers, has gone live in beta, today.

The company has just announced a number of television shows and films which have not been online before including a number of shows from HBO including all the episodes of the Soprano's, Curb Your Enthusiasm and a number of major theatrical films.

The service is now available nationally to all Comcast subscribers who have both data and television service.

There are 30 cables networks on the new service with 2000 hours of programming up on the service.

The service publishes videos in a video format provided by Move Networks. Users need to download a program and then use their user name and password to sign in.

The company calls the new product Fancast xfinity TV

Nearly 15.7million Comcast subscribers can access the new service. Video can be watched just on personal computers. Plans are in place to make the service available to mobile devices next year.

Last month we spoke with Comcast's Amy Banse about the new initiative. We have republished the interview today.

DISH Network can provide you TV everywhere and anywhere you go not just on you PC or iPad either! DISH Network subscriber can do this by connecting a Sling adapter to your 722 DVR receiver. You can watch live TV your recordings and schedule your recordings from your phone.

Hi,
I would say that apart from getting a peek into the lifestyle of Mafia and getting to know their lusty lifestyle, there is no real entertainment value. Atleast the movies make sense and do entertain.

This is fine in the short term, but in the long term both of these companies need to realize that their core business, just like the phone companies, will be as ISPs. Their existing business models will not last much longer and if they cannot adapt and transform themselves to fit the new market they will be replaced by new companies who can.

I would say This is a little bit of a step forward, but they should create an internet subscription for the once that don’t have comcast HBO/Cinemax service… The idea of going into the Internet should be to expand your market, not to just give the same content to people who are already seeing it in TV and already paying for it… big companies need to start thinking, and not be scared of the Internet as a distribution platform… don’t you think?
