Hey, Comcast customers: did you know that your subscription extends beyond the TV in your living room? Well, it does. It’s called Xfinity and it’s Comcast’s online library of TV shows and movies. And starting today, you can find listings for Xfinity’s online offerings right here on Clicker, alongside all the other online sources available to you.
Just search for the show you want to see via Clicker, and you’ll now find a “Comcast” checkbox in the left column next to our episode guide. If you want to only search for Comcast, uncheck the other boxes. If you don’t want Comcast in your listings at all, just uncheck that box. And if you permanently want to exclude Comcast from Clicker results, you can easily adjust your settings in your Profile.
So, what does Comcast’s addition to Clicker include? Depending on your Comcast plan, you’ll now have one-stop access to:
Movies:
As of today, we’re indexing over 900 movies (and counting) from Xfinity, with over 200 from premium channels like HBO and Cinemax. If you have Cinemax on your Comcast plan, you can watch it “free” online (free means without paying anything extra beyond your Comcast subscription). For HBO subscribers, this means free streaming of movies like Public Enemies, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and Monsters vs. Aliens… none of which you can watch online anywhere else – free or paid!
TV:
160 TV Shows and over 1,000 episodes – including access to premium channels you’ve added to your Comcast subscription. For example, if you have HBO in your Comcast plan, you’ve got access to all the episodes of Big Love and the current seasons of True Blood, Entourage and Hung. (Tip: Episodes come online a day or two after they air.)
You also have access to past seasons of hit HBO shows like season 3 of Sex and the City and Curb Your Enthusiasm, Season 2 of The Sopranos and Six Feet Under, and Season 1 of Rome.
Of course, remember to add your favorites to your Clicker Playlist, rate shows and check-in (on Clicker.com or using Clicker’s mobile apps) to share what you’re watching and earn awards from Showtime (including Weeds, Dexter and The Big C), HBO (Entourage, True Blood, Hung) and more!
