Xfinity Watchathon kicks off April 6

Xfinity Watchathon

If you are an Xfinity customer, be prepared to have access to a lot of television. The week-long Xfinity Watchathon kicks off on April 6. During the Watchathon, Xfinity customers will have access to all of the Xfinity content including live and On Demand content from both regular and premium networks.

Shows can be watched on your television or on your mobile device using the Xfinity TV Go app, which I reviewed around this same time last year. You can read my review here.

Ready to binge watch?

If you’re like me, you don’t normally have access to all of the premium channels so I most look forward to binge watching shows like Game of Thrones, which people I know rave about but that I never get to watch.

Xfinity - What kind of watchathoner are you?

If Game of Thrones isn’t your thing, there’s plenty of other shows to choose from. Like American Crime, CSI: Cyber, Dig, Empire, Finding Carter, Fresh off the Boat, Last Man on Earth, The Last Ship, Madam Secretary, Outlander and The Royals. You can also go back to the very beginning of award-winning series like The Affair, Black Sails, Game of Thrones, Girls, House of Lies, Orphan Black, Penny Dreadful, Power, Ray Donovan, The Sopranos, True Detective, Vikings and The Wire.

I’m not an Xfinity subscriber but that didn’t stop Comcast from setting me up with the ideal Watchathon watching kit. Included in the watching kit is a pair of socks, a nice warm hoodie, headphones, a portable charger and a coffee mug. And finally, a bean bag like toy in case I get too stressed waiting to see how a particular show is going to end! In addition to all of this, they gave me temporary access to use the TV Go app so I can watch shows to my delight along with all of the other Xfinity subscribers. If you don’t hear from me for another week, now you know why!
