Comcast X1 boxes will get a YouTube app later this year

YouTube is already available directly through many smart TVs and streaming boxes, but like the Netflix deal, this brings access a step closer for millions of cable TV customers. That means more viewers for content like YouTube Red, and a way for Comcast to keep people within its environment without switching inputs. The UI of the app will resemble the usual ten-foot YouTube interface, but search results will work as shown above.
