Comcast has launched a new video on-demand service as part of its cable TV, phone and internet packages.

The newly-minted Xfinity Streampix service will be made available to new and existing Comcast customers for a $ 4.99 monthly premium.

However, it’ll be gratis if you sign up for a "Triple Play" package.

Huge arsenal

Streampix will focus on existing movies past series of TV shows from its vast arsenal of video content from the likes of NBCUniversal, Sony, Disney, Warner Brothers and Sony.

The offering, which will arrive on smartphones, tablets, connected TVs and web-browsers, puts Comcast in direct competition with Netflix, Amazon and the recently announced Verizon/Redbox tie-in.

No need for Netflix

The reason this could be more problematic for Netflix is because it seems Comcast wants to cut it out of the equation altogether, as far as its own customer base is concerned.

While its a win-win for Comcast on a couple of levels, if the streaming library becomes comparable there’ll be no need for its subscribers to bother with Netflix.

For Comcast, there’s opportunity to earn another $ 4.99 a month through content and customers it already owns.

Alternatively, offering the service for free, dangles the carrot as it attempts to snare new sign-ups to its expensive phone, internet and cable packages.

Panasonic is set to cement its relationship with LucasFilm and bring Star Wars 3D to Blu-ray in the spring.

Panasonic was the only AV manufacturer in 2011 to bundle the Star Wars Blu-ray with its Blu-ray players and home cinema setups and it seems it has kept this deal and will bring the 3D versions of the movies to homes in the coming months.

3D Blu-ray

Star Wars: Episode 1 – A Phantom Menace is currently in cinemas in its 3D state and a source has revealed to TechRadar that the 3D Blu-ray will be launched as soon as the spring and Panasonic will bundle the Blu-ray with its home cinema setups – much like what it did with the recent Blu-ray releases.

Lucasfilm has decided to release the Star Wars movies once a year from 2012 in 3D, so it is thought that it will be only the first – well not the first but the first within George Lucas’ expanded vision of the Star Wars universe – which will come bundled with Panasonic kit.

Panasonic has stayed true to active shutter 3D, so it is a massive movie for them to have Star Wars linked with the technology.

A new web start-up is offering Netflix and Hulu members the chance to join forces and share their passwords, while each contributing to the monthly subscription fees.

The neatly-named Splitflix P2P service will match you up with a random partner who’s also looking to split the costs of a Netflix and/or Hulu streaming membership.

Once the two thrifty users have agreed terms, they’ll exchange account details and share access to the services.

Apparently, the idea doesn’t break any existing rules as neither service explicitly prohibits password sharing. However we can’t imagine that Splitlix will exist for very long without a legal challenge.

Retaliation

The developers say they decided to set-up the service as a retaliation against Netflix’ controversial 60 per cent price hike in 2011, which saw the company endure a massive fall from grace.

"Are you upset with the 60% increase to your Netflix account?" said the company, who is appealing for sign-ups for its first beta version.

"Do you find there is not enough content available via streaming through one website? Want to increase the amount of Internet video streaming accounts you have access to without the additional cost?

"If you answered yes to any of the above, it’s time for you to join Splitflix and save 50% on one video streaming service or double up with two services for the same price."

No Glee-obsessives please

While this sounds like an efficient means of saving up to around $ 8 a month, we can’t say that sharing the service with a stranger is all that appealing.

First of all there’s the inherent worry that they’ll renege on the agreement and all of the hassle associated with that. Secondly, it still kinda feels like stealing.

Thirdly? Well we’re not too keen on the idea of sharing our Hulu account with some Glee-obsessed compulsive Real Housewives of Orange County and Jersey Shore viewer who’s going to mess up our Instant Queue and recommendations with all that nonsense.

You can keep your four bucks a month, thank you very much.

A new patent filing suggests that Google is planning to integrate voice technology in order to control Google TV-enabled devices from inside and outside of the home.

The filing sees the viewer convey instructions or commands to the TV by speaking to a smartphone or tablet application somewhat similar to Apple’s Siri.

The viewer would be able to search for content on Google TV, change channels or ask questions about when certain TV shows are being aired.

The commands would be sent to Google’s cloud servers before filtering down to your TV set .

Full control from outside the house

Perhaps the most interesting aspect of the patent, uncovered by Patently Apple, is the ability to control your Google TV set, set-top box or Blu-ray player from outside the home.

So, if you’re on your way home from work just as the game is going to start, you could conceivably get your telly warmed up and on the correct channel so it’s on when you walk through the door.

The filing states that "the provision of the query to the television may occur when the user is within a set distance of his home also (e.g., by determining with GPS functionality on the smartphone that he is within 1/4 mile of the home), and the television may be turned on automatically as he approaches the home, with the television tuned to a channel that is determined to be most relevant to the query."

The patent also mentions that the voice control functionality could be used to stream music to the TV or to set-up playlists.

This functionality could relate to the rumoured Google wireless home streaming device.

Samsung has been given the go-ahead to spin off its LCD television business as Samsung Display.

The company had mooted the plan earlier in the year and has now confirmed that it will launch Samsung Display on April 1 as a new entity, separate from Samsung’s core businesses.

"The spin-off will allow us to make quicker business decisions and respond to our clients’ needs more swiftly," said Samsung’s LCD business head Donggun Park.

"Through enhancements in business competitiveness, we will continue to provide superior products and services for the market."

Pixels stuck?

LCD is a huge part of Samsung’s massive television business, but it is increasingly clear that technology is moving on, and the Korean firm could stand to suffer.

It’s illustrative that Samsung Display will not be dealing with OLED panels, a technology which is most likely to be the next step in televisions.

Both Samsung and its rival LG showed off 55-inch OLED televisions at CES 2012, and, although pricey at the moment, it is likely that it won’t be long until we see cheaper mass-market versions.

In the meantime, Samsung Display will continue to compete in the still-huge LCD market, once removed from its parent company as it looks to future-proof itself.

Samsung has revealed to TechRadar that it has big plans for the OLED TV market and it will be releasing other, possible smaller versions of its 55-inch television in the future.

Speaking to TechRadar, Robert King, head of consumer electronics at Samsung, explained how important OLED was to the company and that it wanted to make a statement with its 55-inch television, which was announced at CES 2012.

"55-inches was the largest size we could get on to one sized sheet, so we decided to focus on this size – OLED has been around for a little while, but getting out a big-screen was key for us," said King.

Sound advice

When pressed on whether more OLED TVs coming, King commented that Samsung’s focus was on its present television but "the range will grow – there will be design developments going forward and OLED will build in the years to come".

This seems to confirm the news that Samsung is set to go on a massive OLED push, eventually superseding its LCD TV line-up with the technology.

One of the problems with OLED is that because the panel is so thin, the audio quality can be compromised but King isn’t too worried about sound problems.

"We always try and get the best sound out of a TV but the physics behind this means that an external surround sound kit can improve on this.

"We do strive to get the best sound we can in each category, however."
