Nah, just that everytime there is a service problem out here we have to call corporate to get it fixed correctly. Thought I would pass on that info to random passersby's. Also other stuff which I can't say on a forum or I will get sued by Comcast. ]]>May 12th 2010 4:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/comcast-xfinity-ipad-app-changes-channels-and-invites-friends-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/comcast-xfinity-ipad-app-changes-channels-and-invites-friends-t/May 12th 2010 4:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/comcast-xfinity-ipad-app-changes-channels-and-invites-friends-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/comcast-xfinity-ipad-app-changes-channels-and-invites-friends-t/May 12th 2010 5:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/comcast-xfinity-ipad-app-changes-channels-and-invites-friends-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/comcast-xfinity-ipad-app-changes-channels-and-invites-friends-t/
Yea this is part of my problem with Comcast. They don't actually DO anything themselves. It is outsourcing gone mad combined with franchising. It's a business model recipe for severely bad service. Hence the reason why Comcast was voted worst company in America by The Consumerist.

"Hey honey, I know you're trying to read a book, but I need to turn the channel." "Oh, I think I left the iPad upstairs in the bedroom". "Hey Junior, can you stop playing your game on the iPad so I can set up this movie to record."

People are just trying way too hard to make this thing magical.

Dumbest argument ever. Every time a new app comes out you hear the same "great, a $600 (insert app function)"...Show some creativity.

It's just because it's demoed on an ipad. If this was done on an Android driven slate most of these people would be singing praises. ]]>May 12th 2010 9:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/comcast-xfinity-ipad-app-changes-channels-and-invites-friends-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/comcast-xfinity-ipad-app-changes-channels-and-invites-friends-t/
If they can do this on an iPad, can I use it with my Tivo (or my Windows Media Center PC, or anything with a cable card)? Supposedly you can browse through the VOD library and start watching something by selecting it with the iPad. So... can I do that and then watch that VOD show on my Tivo?

As I understand it this app talks over the internet to the Comcast head end equipment. Then from there to an EBIF application on the STB. Now the Tivo has the downstream modem to receive such things right? Right? It just doesn't have the upstream?

Similarly, if you can pick an SDV channel off the screen using this, couldn't a Tivo just send the same IP message to the Comcast head end equipment over the internet and change the channel without needing a tuning adapter? Could it?]]>May 12th 2010 7:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/comcast-xfinity-ipad-app-changes-channels-and-invites-friends-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/comcast-xfinity-ipad-app-changes-channels-and-invites-friends-t/
