The Comcast Labs section of the X1 user interface will host Netflix Beta. X1 customers will receive a communication from Comcast when they’ve been added to the Beta Program, so they can opt-in via Comcast Labs, go to the Netflix app and log in with their credentials or sign-up for Netflix directly through X1.

The goal is to allow X1 and Netflix customers to watch live, on-demand, DVR and Netflix programming all from the same place, with integrated voice control, universal search, natural language processing, IP stream processing and a cloud-based infrastructure.

In a blog post, Comcast noted that “the Netflix Beta Program has been a major effort for teams at both companies, so we’re rolling out a beta to ensure it works smoothly before we formally launch it to millions of X1 customers later this year.”
