Apple announced on Wednesday that it has added Xfinity TV to its Apple TV app. The addition means that users can now watch their favorite channels, including NBC, CBS, Fox, and ABC, without having to use a separate streaming device. The addition of Xfinity TV comes as Apple continues to beef up its app lineup with new features and content. Earlier this month, the company added Showtime and Starz to its app lineup. ..
Surprisingly, the Xfinity Stream app was not available on Apple TV devices (not to be confused with Apple TV+, the streaming service), even though Comcast said nearly a year ago that it was on the way. At long last, the app is available for the Apple TV HD and Apple TV 4K.
Apple TV is the first platform to get the “redesigned Stream app,” which is coming to other platforms soon. Comcast says the updated version can “simplify content discovery through editorial recommendations along with a personalization algorithm that allows customers to continue watching their favorite shows and movies across platforms and devices.”
Judging by the single screenshot, it looks like some of the controls and tabs have been moved to the left side of the screen, like the TV app for HBO Max and other services. There’s no specific timeline on when the Xfinity Stream apps will receive the new design on other platforms.
