The Xfinity launch this week is exciting from a product perspective because
the timing with the Winter Olympic games gives us the opportunity to
highlight just how much our products have changed. One of the most important
aspects of Xfinity is the convergence of our services across platforms.
(That¹s how we got the “X” in Xfinity.)
For example, you can watch live Olympic event video streaming and video
highlights at www.comcast.net, where we have set up an interactive
multimedia report with medal counts, slideshows, event previews, feature
stories and more.
You can also plan your Olympic event schedule online, via our SmartZone®
Communications Center, using a special
calendar function that will tell you not only when an event airs, but the
network (NBC or Bravo) and the exact channel number for your channel lineup
(NBCHD 232 in my neighborhood).
Finally, On Demand coverage offers recaps from past Winter Olympics,
information on this year’s Olympics, profiles and interviews of the athletes
and next day highlights during the Vancouver Olympics. Most content is
available in high-definition and includes a glimpse of Team USA and “next day” highlights.
So, enjoy the Opening Ceremonies tonight and all the great action over the
next two weeks. Go USA!
