It's 2015, Let Your Apps Do The Work

Cable's rough sometimes. We’ve all had problems with old boxes, hard-to-navigate menus and dropped WiFi, but regardless of your previous experiences, the X1 platform from XFINITY is worth checking out—especially for their wide offering of apps to make the whole experience just a little bit more 2015. Here's a look at a couple of the best.

XFINITY TV GO

Instead of downloading shows and movies or using other apps to stream, you can just take your DVR with you wherever you go. Watch thousands of XFINITY On Demand™ TV shows and movies plus stream your favorite sports, news, and kids networks live. You can even download TV shows and movies from premium channels to watch when you're offline. Download for iPhone or Android.

XFINITY TV REMOTE

No more finding the remote and no more brushing off your roommate's weird Cheeto residue. Use your smartphone or tablet as a remote, instead. Even better, it works from far, far away: use the app to schedule your DVR when you're not even home. Download for iPhone, Android or Windows.

XFINITY MY ACCOUNT

Cable and utility provider sites aren't really famous for their user experience, so having an app that actually works and tells you what you need to know is a major bonus. Pay your bill, check your connection status, manage your appointments and troubleshoot technical issues all in one app with great design and clear instructions. And now you can even request a call back or chat with an expert on Twitter. No lines, no waiting, just results. Download for iPhone or Android.
