No matter whether you love them or hate them, its a fact that Comcast touches the lives of millions of Americans on a daily basis. Later this year, the cable giant's reach will become that much more pervasive as the company has unveiled plans to offer at home streaming of TV content to tablet wielding Comcast subscribers as well as access to on-demand content while on the go.

As part of the company's presentation to an eager geek crowd at this year's CES, Comcast announced that their Xfinity TV iPad app now boasted upwards of 3000 hours worth of content for on-demand viewing. Speaking on behalf of the company Comcast's CEO Brian Roberts stated that, "Comcast has a series of upcoming online enhancements and app releases that are part of a much larger effort to reinvent how customers interact with their entertainment on TV, online and on mobile devices."

No doubt Comcast subscribers will be finding out what those offerings will be in the weeks and months to come.
