Comcast begins offering Xumo-powered channels on X1
Comcast has begun offering around 20 Xumo-powered, ad-supported streaming channels to its traditional video customers via the X1 platform
X1
X1 is the name of an operating system developed by Comcast for its line of next-generation video set-top boxes which also carry the X1 brand. The operating system offers access to Comcast’s live pay TV channels alongside third party streaming TV apps (Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, YouTube, etc.) and data services.
