Customers will be able to launch Prime Video with their X1 Voice Remote. And if they have the right equipment, they can watch 4K content from Amazon.

The move might not stop everyone from canceling their contracts. But offering streaming services like Netflix and Prime Video is a good way for cable companies to keep younger customers around — at least for a little while.

While the partnership was announced today, Comcast said customers won't get access to Prime Video until later this year.
