The realm of cable TV service providers is surging with competition—and what makes it still more cut-throat is the rise in the cord-cutting trend. Pressed by the circumstance, cable TV providers have had to introduce innovative ways of watching cable TV so the contemporary viewer can have the flexibility and convenience that is considered a hallmark of streaming services. Xfinity from Comcast is one such cable TV service provider, which has responded to the need of the hour with ingenuity.
Xfinity footprint across the U.S. is impressive—with cable internet and TV services available to over 110 million people in 39 states. Cable service from Xfinity is the most widely available in California, Florida, and Illinois. The provider also ventures into fiber-optic broadband, but availability is very limited at this time—approx. 19,000 people fall in the fold of its fiber optic network.
Xfinity also ranks high in the domain of cable TV services. With the inclusion of the smart TV platform Xfinity X1 in its product/service lineup, subscribers can link their internet service from the provider with the TV service via a single interface—a unified system of entertainment is thus built around a single all-in-one DVR set-top TV box, making content accessible on any internet-enabled device of your choice—PC, smartphone or Tab. With Live TV, sports, streaming apps, and music all in one place, and an award-winning voice-activated remote control, Xfinity from Comcast revolutionizes how cable TV has been traditionally watched. You can even get to watch many international channels with Xfinity TV if you pick the eligible add-ons and packages.

A Little About Current HBO® Favorites
Westworld
The future is robots. And this American science fiction TV series takes the notion a bit too literally. Set in a dystopian world, amusements are no longer limited to rollercoasters, arcades, or picnic spots. In this world, one popular spot of amusement is Westworld—an Old West-themed amusement park where your hosts are androids. You get to interact with them, and explore deep caverns too—the androids fulfill the guest every desire, no matter how dark, but are incapable of causing them harm. But, everything begins to go direly wrong when the android hosts start to develop a conscience themselves.
His Dark Materials
Created for BBC One and HBO®, His Dark Materials is a fantasy TV series based on Philip Pullman’s novel that goes by the same name. The TV show is set in a fictional world where humans and their mystical soul companions called Daemons co-exist. These Daemons are a manifestation of aspects of the human soul. The story centers on Lyra, an adolescent girl who did not ever expect to witness a dangerous secret that sets her off on a heroic journey upon which she encounters a boy named Will.
My Brilliant Friend
Based on the Neapolitan Novels by Elena Ferrante, My Brilliant Friend is an Italian and Neapolitan coming of age TV series created for HBO®, TIMvision, and RAI. Despite being a foreign language TV show, My Brilliant Friend managed to secure over 1 million viewers on HBO® alone. The show’s popularity earned it two seasons whereas in April 2020 a third season was greenlit for production. My Brilliant Friend’s plot does not revolve around magical creatures, nor does it showcase a thrill-filled dystopian world. It is a story of friendship and nostalgia that is set in the alluring city of Naples in the 1950s.
The Outsider
Stephen King’s work has been adapted into movies, TV shows, miniseries and so much more over the years. The Outsider is King’s relatively recent work and has been adapted into a horror crime miniseries for HBO®. A heinous murder has been committed and investigators are working to solve the case. Little do they know a supernatural entity might be behind the crime.
HBO® also has a plethora of TV shows currently under development. So, if you want to stay updated with the daily schedule of your current favorites and upcoming TV shows and movies on HBO®, click here to check the schedule.
