Comcast subscribers will be glad to learn that the cable company has just released a new app – Xfinity TV Player. This applications allows subscribers to watch on-demand content like HBO and Showtime shows. One can also use Comcast’s video streaming service Streampix, if subscribed.
It is nice to see this coming to Android after a very long wait. Try not to confuse it with the other Comcast app, though. The other one works as a remote for your DVR and is called Xfinity TV, just one word short of the other app.
Comcast subscribers that want to get their video-watching on can simply download the app from the Google Play Store now. It is compatible with all devices running Android 2.3 or higher, so the vast majority of us will be covered.

Anyone know why this app asks for Superuser permission? Or what happens if its granted
The same thing happened to me. I denied it and kept going. It works well, but I wondered the same thing.
This works quite well. It almost warrants the ridiculous bill I pay each month…almost. And at least it came out in time for the return of Toonami
No roku link still. I’m getting a commercial skipping dish…screw Comcast
Meh, I use Hulu Plus.
Does not work on google tv bluray player
I swear that I’ve searched the Play Store (via my phone) 5 times since getting my Galaxy Nexus, and I could never find any xfinity or Comcast apps. Thanks for the link Phandroid!
