Comcast Rolls Out X1 Enhanced Movie Feature

Comcast is offering customers a free trial through Sunday of its X1 platform enhanced movie extras offering, it said in a news release Friday. Through the service -- which Comcast said it created with Universal Pictures Home Entertainment, Lionsgate, Paramount Home Media Distribution and Sony Pictures Home Entertainment -- viewers who digitally buy certain movie titles also get extras such as photo galleries and video clips that update as the movie plays, games, set tours and maps. Comcast said it expects to expand the number of movies and studios in 2017.
