It looks like Comcast cable TV is gearing up for Internet enabled television with a service called “Xfinity Spectrum”.

Todd Spangler over at Multichannel News recently reported on documents filed with the FCC.  According to Spangler, “[S]et-top manufacturer Pace has developed a four-tuner HD digital video recorder that Comcast is using to test Xfinity Spectrum, a service that blends TV programming with Internet content including e-mail and YouTube video clips.”  It looks like Comcast cable TV is building an immersive experience based on using the Internet as a full spectrum entertainment resource to provide movies, TV shows, online socializing via Twitter and Facebook, and information about whatever it is you happen to be watching.

The new service is currently being tested in a small section of August, Georgia.
