Microsoft’s 
invasion of the living room is going into overdrive.
Comcast’s Xfinity on-demand service, HBO Go and MLB.tv are now available through Xbox Live — and they’re arriving right as the console undergoes a major transition in how people use it.
Microsoft’s plans to 
add television content to the Xbox 360 just took a major step forward.
The company unveiled an extensive partner list Wednesday, announcing that nearly 40 global content providers will stream programming through the game console starting this year. Included in the list are heavy cable hitters Comcast, HBO and Verizon FiOS.
Time Warner’s ready 
to give HBO Go a bigger push.
CEO Jeff Bewkes, in an earnings call with analysts this morning, said the pay network’s TV Everywhere service would be expanding its footprint beyond smartphones and tablets – soon adding Internet connected televisions and video game consoles to its roster.
HBO is teasing – if not outright announcing – its imminent 
arrival on the iPhone, iPad and other mobile devices.
The cabler has posted a YouTube video that shows its HBO Go streaming service running on a variety of tablets and phones, including Apple’s iconic brands. At the end, the HBO Go logo is shown with the date 5.2.11 shown underneath, presumably the mobile launch date for the service.
