Comcast was "
close" back in September, but it looks as if today's the day. The pay-TV provider is enabling Xfinity TV customers to peek their favorite dramas and drama queens on the iPad, with any channel in your subscription available for viewing. We're told that support for Motorola's Xoom is "coming soon," but as with other AnyPlay setups, you'll need to be in or around the home to take advantage. As of now, AnyPlay's only available gratis to Xfinity HD Triple Play customers in areas of Denver and Nashville, but more markets are planned for the coming months. The company also confirmed
last night's news from the Microsoft CES 2012 keynote that it'll be bringing On Demand content to Xbox 360, as well as
our leak that it'll be cruising over to Samsung's connected TVs. Ready to get going? Hop a flight to one of those two cities and dip into the source links below.

Comcast was one of the first companies to let you access your recordings from their app anywhere on an iPad in the cable industry; I figured this would translate into a streaming app that would make their subscribers happy because they could leave the house. I was however wrong once again, it seems that executives think people do most of their streaming from the house. This could be because every company that released an iPad app this year limited the streaming to being within the house. Just one of the odd things I noticed watching the industry this year working at DISH. Most providers even limited channels, but not Comcast; at least they will let you get that value from the app. For me it’s another feather in the hat for my sling adapter. With it hooked up to my DISH receiver I can stream all my channels and recorded events just like the Comcast app, but mine works wherever I am, giving me a true TV everywhere experience.
