The launch of Xfinity Latino late last year built upon the introduction of www.Xfinity.com/latinoTV last year, our Internet destination with access to almost a thousand Spanish-language movies and shows online free to Xfinity Latino customers. More recently, Comcast teamed up with Music Choice, the multi-platform video and music network, to bring customers access to the most extensive collection of Hispanic music videos and original artist content ever available On Demand.
The Xfinity Latino video entertainment experience is available as a standalone video service or as part of double or triple play bundles. All current MultiLatino video customers will automatically be upgraded to receive the new Xfinity Latino video lineup at no additional charge. Channel lineups and availability may vary by market. The new content from Xfinity Latino combined with the Xfinity SurePrice Double Plays and the Hispanic Triple Plays with free carefree minutes to Latin America provide customers with the most value and bundle options available anywhere.
