As promised Comcast’s Xfinity announced today it’s beginning to roll out AnyPlay, a new live TV service for the iPad (and soon the Motorola Xoom, as well.) Subscribers will be able to watch any channels included in their Xfinity package within range of their home WiFi.
“Currently, we’re making AnyPlay available to Xfinity HD Triple Play customers in areas of Denver and Nashville at no additional charge,” explains Mark Hess, SVP of Video Product Development. “If you don’t live in Nashville or Denver, don’t worry, as we plan to add more markets in the coming months.”
Xfinity already has an iPad app: the Xfinity TV app (iTunes) offers 8,000 hours of on-demand movies and TV shows available free for subscribers. Hess says the same on-demand video will soon be coming to the Xbox and Samsung connected TVs.
