Comcast renews its TV license in Millis

Comcast Corp. said today that it has received a 10-year license renewal for its TV service in Millis.

Comcast said that the Millis board of selectmen last night approved its proposal to continue delivering TV service to Millis residents over Comcast's fiber-optic network.

Comcast added that it is one of three companies currently offering subscription TV services in Millis.

According to Philadelphia-based Comcast, its TV service offers more programming choices than rivals, and Comcast added that its new license in Millis will allow it to deliver such new offerings as AnyPlay DVR.

As early as next year, AnyPlay DVR will allow Comcast customers to take their digital video recordings with them when they travel.
