In November 2013, Comcast became the first pay-television provider in the country to sell Digital HD content for download and streaming. The company’s Xfinity TV customers quickly embraced the new feature and, according to Universal Pictures, helped make Comcast the nation’s top digital seller of Despicable Me 2 for the week ending December 3.

Comcast customers have the ability to purchase movies and television shows - often weeks before they are available to rent or purchase on Blu-ray and DVD - and store them, seamlessly, in the cloud. Their content can be enjoyed anywhere, anytime, on their TV, PC or mobile devices, without the hassle of managing discs or remembering passwords. Purchased titles are added to the customer’s On Demand menu which is easily accessible on the TV, online at XfinityTV.com or via the Xfinity On Demand Purchases app.
