Re: Comcast Xfinity!!!
Hi, Right now on my device I'm using the xfinity connect app which lets you interact with email and voicemails as well as displaying caller ID notifications on your mobile device for their home phone service should you have that with them. I also have used xfinity wi-fi app for finding their wi-fi hot spots. I also have their dvr, tv remote and tv go apps but haven't used them yet as I'm not a huge tv watching person but from exploring them they seem to be accessible with VoiceOver. I hope that helps. It seems as though accessibility in their apps is getting better as time goes on.

Rendering a split verdict on Comcast Xfinity App accessibility
Colleagues: This morning the Comcast installer visited my home and I now have a standard Motorola DVR. The big news is that after a phone call to a very knowledgeable support agent I can report a mixed verdict with respect to two of the three iOS Comcast Xfinity offers. Xfinity Player manages streaming content which is available to me as a Comcast TV customer. The App is very accessible and a real pleasure to use. It is not unlike Last FM or similar music streaming services. The programs on offer can be browsed in a variety of ways including by network, as Movies or TV Shows etc. A search feature is also provided. Playback is nicely controlled by very well labeled controls, and even the commercial countdown is read by VO when it has focus. Xfinity Player does not interact with my DVR or any other Comcast equipment in my home. The Xfinity TV Remote is designed to control the DVR and provides a program guide. Unlike the Player it appears to be totally inaccessible. I am investigating whether my combination of Dijit and an IR device will provide access to the box. A third Xfinity App, Xfinity Connect is used for phone and Comcast.net mail control. I do not have phone service and use other mail clients so I will not install Connect. That's what I can report from WV tonight. Brad Hodges -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

New Comcast Xfinity TV customer, seeking info on App accessibility
Colleagues: After two tumultuous and very expensive years of Dish satellite service I am going to add TV to my existing Comcast internet account. I know I will enjoy the $45 monthly savings. I'm curious if any members of the list have experience with the Xfinity apps. They appear to offer control of the DVR box as well as remote streaming.

Re: New Comcast Xfinity TV customer, seeking info on App accessibility
Their apps are pretty well inaccessible. I even spoke with someone in Colorado two years ago who made noises like they would do something about it, but since then, nothing has improved. They are totally silent now about accessibility of their apps. I don't have the energy to pursue them on it. I use NFB Newsline for the TV listing and just use their remote to change channels. Actually, we are thinking of getting out of the TV watching habbit, which contributes to my not wanting to spend the time and energy to keep after them about making their app accessible.

Re: New Comcast Xfinity TV customer, seeking info on App accessibility
The xFinity remote app has lots of usability. It is not fully accessible by any means, but if you use it in junction with the tv guide mobile app, you can get a lot done. The tv listings are not accessible. If you know the name of the tv show, you can find it and set up a episode or series recording. You can go into the more tab and manage some dvr settings, such as schedule, episode/series settings, etc. The app does not allow you to play actual recordings. The on-demand tab use to be accessible, but I have not played with that part for a while now. Oh, and it works to enter a channel number and turn your tv to that channel.
