With the (US) passage of the CVAA, XFinity and services like it should
see much improvement in accessibility in the near future. I believe
companies that have products which fall under the CVAA were to be
required to track accessibility issues and have a plan to rectify them
by October of this year. That doesn't mean they will be fixed by October
but at least they should have real testing to know what must be done and
an idea how they will get there. Friend of mine just got hired there
earlier this year to lead up the team working on all that:

Hi. Yes, I'm curious about this as well. from what I've read so far,
you need to be able to read what's displayed on the cable box/tv to
get it setup on your iOS devices.
If anyone out there is currently using these apps, I'd be interested
in hearing about them in terms of vo accessibility and just general
feedback.
Thanks,
Cameron.

Hi everyone!
The Comcast guy just left, and I'm eager to know how much I can do with the
XFinity mobile and tV apps on my iPhone. Last time I checked, these apps
were not very accessible. Will I be able to watch tv, check our home phone's
voicemails etc independently on my iPhone? Our package came with free DVR
service. Since the DVR itself is of course inaccessible, can I control it
with the iPhone? Will I be able to watch recorder shows on the go? That's
all for now, but I'll write with more questions as they come up. Thanks!
