Stream App and Roku beta

Question

I am away from home and tried to use the app and find that I need to use my "home network". What's the point since I'm away from home? I would use my Xfinity directly if I were home.

What could the possible logic be? And don't get me started on Apple TV...

The Roku is and always meant to be a residential cable box replacement, not a travel device.

Welp...that's not only short sighted in this day and age it is tremendously dumb. Of course, I did bring my Apple TV device and can't use that with Comcast either . Noticing a pattern? Pay a fortune for convenience, then you don't get any....can we add COMCAST to the anti-trust lawsuit?

I cannot watch a football game on my iPhone .... just sayin' 🙄

Roku IS made to travel. The Xfinity Beta App should work the same as Xfinity at home. Why else pay the exorbitant cable fees and not jut cut the cord? Not at all happy with this app.
