Comcast Finds Interactive Features Double the Consumption of Online Fare

SAN FRANCISCO -- Comcast's TV Everywhere, an online service for its cable subscribers, is providing DVR-type functionality that is driving consumption of video on its Fancast by a factor 2X, according to Karin GIlford, Senior VP.

The Fancast viewed by Comcast subscribers who are logged in is different from the Fancast available on the Internet.

We spoke with her in February at the Beet.TV Online Video Roundtable.

The company is presently rolling out a number new services to subscribers, including full DVR control of their home DVR's via the Web and iPhone.

Recently, the Washington Post's Rob Pegoraro called the service "like a "Tivo in the sky."

Hi Joe here and as a DISH Network employee, Being an employee for DISH I can personally say that TV Everywhere is probably the coolest thing that I have ever personally been able to experience I love having the option of TV Everywhere! The sling adapter is easy to use, and is awesome to view and manage DVR recordings, watch any subscribed program on the go with any laptop, android, or Smartphone. You can purchase and get any other info about the Sling Adapter at the DISH website.

This looks interesting. Unfortunately, I don't seem to be able to get past the ad in Firefox 3.5 to actually watch the video. I don't mind a preroll ad, but it isn't very useful if I can't get to the video, even after watching it 5x.
