Checking out the X1 from XFINITY (Ad)

2015-12-19
what's good guys johnathan here and some of you may have noticed me out in the field earlier this month and that is because Comcast invited me to check out the x1 from Xfinity so this here is well you're more than likely used to when it comes to TV navigation but where the x1 shines is through this interface right here which is clean intuitive and super easy on the eyes with all the content streamlined into a movie poster style layout what's sick though is how you're able to filter everything so if you don't want to look through the ridiculous amount of channels you have you can narrow things down now if you're like me and you love crispy content the fact that you can search through channels that are only HD is awesome you can also break things down into your favorites what's trendy movies sports and even just for kids now the amount of detail and how deep you can dive into this is crazy you can obviously favorite your go to channels and shows but you're able to take it one step further by checking out the cast and characters and then from there getting a breakdown of everything they've appeared in now the personalized section is cool because not only will it layout recommendations based on what you've watched but it's kind of like the central hub of you which includes things have recently watched down to the exact minute so if you didn't get to finish watching it you can easily jump back in there is also killer voice integration which starts with the x1 voice remote so you can change the channel HBO to search for a specific kind of movie movies about dogs look of an actor or actress bryan cranston or even search by quoting a movie you're gonna need a bigger boat this also works fantastic with sports when to the Bulls play and this leads into a killer sports app so even though I'm a huge Bulls fan I can get a breakdown of the entire basketball schedule and this isn't limited to just basketball so no matter what your sport is this has you covered now what might be most impressive about x1 is the on-demand section for starters it has the Xfinity top 100 which automatically preloads the top 100 shows which are ready to watch at will it's an insane amount of content down to the point where you can watch movies that are still in theaters but it's the attention to detail that really makes it stand out it'll break things down to the actual day that shows air and checking out this season of The Walking Dead for example not only will it let me know when upcoming episodes are airing but I'll also let me know which ones I've already watched so this way for someone who enjoys binge watching shows you're not gonna need to sit there and ask yourself did i watch this watching the show isn't so bad but there's nothing worse than accidentally skipping an episode and spoiling the damn thing Morgan no no another cool why didn't anyone think of this before feature is the last nine so instead of hitting that back or previous button and it's simply going to the most recent channel you watched you get a streamlined view of the last nine things you've watched and it's not limited to just channels but also specific content - overall it's just a really nice experience it's intuitive there's a ton of content and info the voice control works fantastic and it's flat-out a stellar way it's not only browse content but to consume it as well aside from that hopefully you guys enjoyed the video if you did and you are feeling like being awesome make sure to go Michonne with a katana on that like button big thanks to Comcast for sending me out to Philly and check out the x1 this is Jonathan with TLD and I will catch you guys later
