The Amazing Xfinity X1 from Comcast
I have been a Comcast customer for years and we have loved our cable. As avid television watchers, we love our DVR. You may recall last month when I posted about Ty and shared about the X1 with you:

WHY THE XFINITY X1 FROM COMCAST?
The features of the X1 platform have something for everyone – whether you want to quickly get to your favorite TV shows and movies with the On Demand feature or take your shows on the go on your tablet, it’s got tons of new functions to play with. I cannot even begin to tell you how much I ADORE the On Demand feature as does my entire family. It seems like we are watching show OnDemand more and more.
By combining the coolest features and the fastest speed to bring together TV and internet, the X1 platform is an awesome choice for families on the go and is loaded with great content for when you want to slow down and spend time together. This is perfect for my family so we can watch our favorite shows and movies when we have time to watch them together.
OUR FAVORITE FEATURES OF THE X1
The Guide. The coolest thing ever is the new look of the X1 guide. It is intuitive, very easy to use and makes your television watching so much more enjoyable. With the new on-screen menu from the X1 operating system, you can find your guide, saved shows, On Demand, search across all platforms, apps like Pandora or weather and settings to check for service problems in your area all on one screen!
The Search Feature. With the revamped search feature, see what’s on live TV, XFINITY On Demand and your DVR, all in one place. Just search for a title, genre or actor, and instantly find what you’re looking for. What we really love is that you can use your remote to type in a search and the keys on the remote function just like a phone. It is genius!
The Recommendations. Personalization is taken to a new level with the X1 platform – Discover new favorites with recommendations based on what you’re watching. Select any program and scroll down to “More Like This”. You will see a list of similar movies and shows you might enjoy or other programs with specific cast or crew members, simplifying the never-ending task of picking something to watch on a Wednesday night!
The Customization. The X1 platform takes your favorite actors, shows, teams and movies to customize great choices for your whole family to watch, from the kids’ endless cartoons to The Walking Dead on Sunday nights. We can all program the shows we want to watch with minimal effort. It is fast and easy to find your favorite shows. You can even set up text and email alerts that notify you when an On Demand program is ordered. We ordered a movie last night and the email arrived within 30 minutes telling me about the order.
Parental Controls. Parental controls are easily-accessible and easy to figure out on the X1 platform – Be in control of your television with a four-digit PIN that lets you lock programs by rating, channels or titles, and that prevents unwanted purchases of XFINITY On Demand or Pay-Per-View programs.

My daughter and son in law have Comcast and they love it. The internet is great and they love the TV packages.
I appreciate the The XFINITY TV Remote app. It gives you the ability to control your TV without even lifting a finger. You can use voice commands to change channels, search for shows, get recommendations, and more.
My favorite feature is that it has a user-friendly guide! That makes life so much easier! Being able to find saved shows, On Demand goodies, and search across all platforms for apps easily is a big deal for me!
The guide makes all the difference. The one we use now has a terrible guide and it’s so frustrating!
My parents have Comcast, so I will definitley have to tell them about this.
I like that you can use voice commands to change channels, search for shows, get recommendations.
I would like the Comcast feature. I have heard it is amazing and I would love to try it.out.
Voice commands are great – my hubby would love that.
I love the recommendations feature because there are so many new shows that come out that I am not een aware of!
That’s awesome that it comes with parental controls! What a great way to monitor what is being watched in your home!
Sounds like great features. Nice giveaway also.
I like the parental controls.

I have Xfinity and I have always loved it. I am right with you, my favorite thing is definitely the guide. I love how interactive to it and also the use of ease. It is awesome because my Nana can also use it with no problem!
We have comcast but not the x1. I will call them tomorrow and ask about this!
I’ve never heard of xfinity. Currently, I have At&T uverse. But this is making me want to switch
My favorite feature is the recommendations!! I have a hard time choosing and need some smart suggestions!
I wish we had Comcast in our area. We only have Time Warner as an option but the Xfinity looks a whole lot better.
This is a great giveaway. I wish we could get Comcast here.
What an amazing giveaway! Sounds like this has a lot of great features!
This looks neat! I just heard about this a few days ago. A comcast rep was in my neighborhood. Good to see a real live testimonial! Sounds great.
We have the X-1, and it’s AWESOME! It’s seriously the coolest thing ever.
Wow, so many great options. May have to look into it. Thanks so much for sharing 🙂
Voice commands to change channels, search for shows…etc is my favorite feature.

What I really like is that it has a user-friendly guide! This is so much easier in helping me with my shows. Being able to find saved shows, find On Demand goodies, and search across all platforms for apps easily is so important to me.
I’m going to be honest and say that I hate Comcast. We currently use them for our internet services and it’s the worst internet service we have. We actually pay extra for boost and yet we barely can connect at times. I’m hoping they’re reading this and will fix it in the Colorado Springs area or I’m leaving.
My favorite feature is being able to access show that I may have mixed easily through the on demand button!
This sounds amazing. I have to look into it.
On Demand is my fave feature!

I like the parental controls.
Visited and my favorite feature is that you can control your TV right from your phone using voice commands to change channels, search for shows, get recommendations, and more.
I love the preloaded top 100 shows
