Comcast Xfinity App Launches for Android, Control Your DVR Remotely and More
It has been delayed time and time again, but the Comcast Xfinity app for Android is finally available for subscribers to the cable provider we all love to hate. My beefs with Comcast aside, the app actually provides for some pretty awesome functionality that rivals offerings from DirecTV, such as the ability to control and set your DVR remotely using your smartphone. Check TV listings, listen to voicemails through your Xfinity Voice service, and peruse, respond to, and download attachments from your Comcast.net email.
Android also gets the exclusive addition of homescreen widgets that display your latest voice messages and emails, meaning Comcast’s reign of terror can follow you wherever you go. If my cable service ever gets working I will take the time to check it out further and review it, but for now it looks promising and is a must-have for any Android/Comcast users.
