Thursday, June 11, Jeffrey Mosher hit the road to Grand Rapids, Michigan, catching up with Jason Shultz, Marketing Manager, and Randy L. Jones Director of Public Relations, for Comcast in Michigan. These segments give highlights of the Comcast presentation held at their X-Lab, which focused on Comcast’s recently announced feature that Xfinity customers on the X1 Entertainment Operating System can now live stream their favorite life moments over the Internet from their smartphone to the television to share with friends and family.
Through the company’s new Xfinity Share app, customers can live stream or send photos and recorded videos to their TV, or to the TV of another X1 customer, as well as live stream and share content to mobile phones. To use Xfinity Share, currently both the sender and receiver must be Xfinity Triple Play customers with X1 DVR capable set-top boxes. Comcast also announced the consumer launch of its new XR-11 Voice Remote control that allows customers to navigate tens of thousands of shows and movies on the X1 platform with their voice. The new Xfinity remote with voice control lets viewers search for networks, shows and movies; set DVR recordings; get recommendations; navigate Xfinity On Demand and more.
