Netflix has been a terrific partner, and our incredible teams of engineers and designers have come together to create an experience that is not only seamless and intuitive, but also lets viewers search and watch tens of thousands of movies, shows, specials and documentaries with the sound of their voice.

The Netflix integration into the X1 platform means our mutual customers will no longer need to change inputs or juggle remotes. Now they can seamlessly move between the Netflix app and their cable service, enjoying all the TV shows and movies they love without hassle.
