Update 11/5 : Hulu has axed this one too.
Well, let’s see how long this one lasts. It would seem that Comcast’s Fancast (aka xfinity.tv), which allows you to stream content from major networks like Fox, NBC, and ABC (sorry no CBS) works just fine on Google TV using the same user agent trick that used to work with Hulu.com.
So yes, it does in fact work and you can watch all the content found on Fancast on your Google TV, which ironically seems to be pulling almost entirely from Hulu.com. However, the quality leaves a lot to be desired, and in many ways is unwatchable.
So for now it seems that if you REALLY REALLY want to watch this content on Google TV, the option is available to you. I would advice against it though, really.

OK, and now that you’ve reported this, they’ll plug it. Why can’t you narcissistic journalists just keep stuff to yourself somtimes? Sheesh!
The idea for this is great, I mean TV on my iPad or iPhone is just brilliant. The Xfinity app is a lot like the DISH Remote Access offered by DISH Network. Not only can you use it as a fancy remote for scheduling recordings and viewing them, you can also view live TV outside of your home network unlike the Xfinity. As a DISH employee I was very excited last year when this came out, I recommend it.
