Comcast's Xfinity TV Partner App to Begin Beta Tests on LG Smart TVs Early Next Year
Xfinity TV customers will be able to access cable service via the Xfinity TV Partner app on 2017 and 2018 LG webOS smart TVs beginning next year, said Comcast and LG in a joint announcement Monday. Subscribers will be able to watch live and on-demand programming -- including public access channels and cloud DVR recordings -- accessible from the X1 guide, without a set-top box, they said. Comcast expects to launch a beta of the Xfinity TV Partner app on LG TVs, starting with 2017 models, early next year, it said.
