#SamsungTV #ComcasApp - Fans of "Suits," "Chicago Fire" and "Covert Affairs" who happen to subscribe to Comcast and own a 2014 Samsung 4K TV: today is your lucky day. All three of you. As promised before the end of the year, the nation's largest cable provider has made a new "Xfinity in UHD" app available via Samsung's Smart Hub, allowing 4K resolution streams directly to the TV. At launch only episodes from those three shows are available, which might explain why the app's title currently reads "Ultra HD Sampler" on Samsung's app store (above). Comcast says it will add "Parks and Recreation" in February.
All four shows are properties of NBC Universal, a Comcast subsidiary. The app's library will add on-demand programming across multiple networks and studios in the future. The library is "is completely free to Xfinity TV customers whose video subscription includes participating networks," according to the press release. Therein Matt Strauss, SVP and General Manager of Video Services for Comcast Cable, gave a glimpse of more plans. "Next year, we will not only debut the full Xfinity in UHD catalog across our Xfinity TV Go platforms for all customers to enjoy, but we will begin distributing a new X1 set-top box that will deliver 4K content."
