The Olympics comes once every four years and it’s one of the most exciting times to watch your favorite sports, favorite athletes, or to support the USA. When I watch, I want to be able to look with ease when a specific sport like swimming or gymnastics is on. I also like to read about teams and stay in the know of where the USA is in medal count. This year Comcast’s X1 platform has gone beyond user friendly, if that’s possible, with it’s voice activated remote. The best part about the voice remote is anyone in the family can use. 
As an Xfinity customer already, I know the convenience of the voice remote. I was invited to an event to learn about how I can use the voice remote to make watching the Olympics easier. I was amazed at how easy it was….IS!

What is your favorite sport in the Olympics? Who are you looking forward to seeing?
Oh this is so awesome. I totally want this in my home!
We have Xfinity, and we love it. The X1 platform is great, and our internet is obscenely fast.
Wow! This is so cool! t makes our Olympics experience so convenient and remarkable!
A voice activated remote? That’s really cool! I love the diving events in the Olympics.
So fancy! We have Xfinity internet but not TV. I’ll bet my techy husband would be stuck to this thing.
It’s awesome that you get easy access with Xfinity. Their new voice remote sounds super handy.
Our 6-year-old would love this. We’re so far behind on watching the Olympics live. We’ve got to catch up.
We can’t get XFinity in our area. I hate it because we tried XFinity while we were out of town one time and we fell in love with it.
I like the voice remote feature. And especially like that you can customize what you want to view as well!
I love the voice remote. This makes watching your favorite shows so much easier!
The Olympics are my jam! And I am looking forward to so many! Like Michael Phelps, Alex Morgan, Simone Biles, and so many more.
We got the NBC app and it’s been great to watch all of my favorite events from Rio. It couldn’t be any easier than with that Xfinity remote.
I’ve been watching the Olympics on the internet since day 1. I’ve been cheering with our country, hope we got gold this year.
I love watching the Olympics…especially swimming and gymnastics. That’s so cool that the X1 Platform provides so many awesome extras!
What a great thing to have, especially now with the Olympics. I want Xfinity for my house! My birthday is coming maybe this is what I can ask for.
We can’t get XFinity in our area, but it sounds like a great product. I don’t watch a lot of TV anyway, so streaming works out well for me.
My favorite is the swimming. I enjoy most all of them though, to be honest.
I like to watch the gymnastics. I sill have to check out Xfinity . I am moving soon and would like to change providers.
This is great my kids would love this. I have actually been wanting something just like this, looking into switching.
I hate missing some of the highlights for the Olympics so this would be super nifty to have around. It looks fancy too!
This is awesome! I have to say, I never knew how much I enjoyed watching synchronized swimming till now!
Oh, nice! Whenever I missed the Olympics, I feel that I lose the excitement. I can’t wait to see who will be leading.
Wow, those are some cool stuff and features that I haven’t heard from their competitors. The Olympics are a must-see for everyone and I appreciate these ways of bringing it out to those who are in special need.
