Movie streaming service Netflix (NFLX) will be a new option for Comcast (CMCSA) X1 Subscribers. The service will be available as soon as November 10th.
The use of both services will be able to “seamlessly move between the Netflix app and their cable service” without changing inputs, according to a joint statement issued by both companies. Additionally, Comcast’s voice search will work with Netflix, and streaming videos from Netflix will be displayed in conjunction with Comcast on-demand video offerings.
Now, here is the catch:
The service won’t be exempt from the 1TB data cap recently levied against a good portion of Comcast’s internet customers, and according to the company’s Q&A section, Comcast says that the Netflix videos are being streamed across the Internet, and are “subject to Xfinity Internet data usage policies.”
