Unlike any other video service available, X1 uses Inter- net Protocol (IP) technology delivered over Comcast's network to create the world's first Entertainment Operating System, and integrates the largest collection of video with social media features, interactive apps, web content and more in an easy-to- navigate, sleek viewing experience. X1 provides customers the ability to watch DVR recordings from any room in the house and simultaneously record up to four shows while watching a fifth. Other features include a modern user interface, personalization tools and recommenda- tions, and an enhanced remote control. X1 users can also search simultaneously across live TV, Xfinity On Demand and DVR recordings — and see the last nine programs watched across all services with a single tap on the remote control. In ad- dition, the platform offers an expanding selection of tailored-for-TV apps, including social networking, traffic, weather, voice- mail, Pandora and a sports app. Also, the X1 Remote App lets customers control their TVs with their Apple and Android handheld devices. "The X1 Platform is a huge leap forward for us and transforms traditional television viewing into an entirely new, integrated entertainment experience," said Comcast Leadership Team – Western New England Region (based in Berlin, CT) From left to right: Janet Uthman, VP Marketing & Sales; Kristen Roberts, VP Public Relations & Community Investment; Dan Glanville, VP Government & Regulatory Affairs; Karen McClendon, VP Human Resources ; Mary McLaughlin, SVP Comcast Western New England Region; Charlie Tzoumas, VP Comcast Business; Troy Griffin, VP Customer Care; Andy McCarthy, VP Engineering; John Simeone, VP Field Operations
