ROKU, HBO GO

Thank you Google for doing what Comcast refused to do. Put HBOGO on my TV with the Chromecast. Dont worry about ROKU and HBOGO or xfinity app, just get the $35 Chromecast and stream wirelessly from your computer, no HDMI PC required.

well bring aTV outside and watch things without a needed cable wire to name 1

@adding my voice to the mix -- I just bought an Roku 3, got it all setup only to discover that the management @ xfinity don't support it.

Of course, Roku also just added a FoxNow app, and whatdda ya know--Comcast also doesn't authenticate with that. This is really irritating!

 

If moderaters are removing posts for profanity, they are obviously reading this baord--I wish they would respond. It's been two years!

Moderators have no authority to respond with the info we all want all they are paid to do is baby sit the boards. Heck they prolly pay some college kid 12 bucks an hour to login and doit from their dorm rooms between parties LOL...

The thing is many of us already HAVE the Roku and don't want to spend money on yet more devices...I have had the ROKU for two years. The lack of HBOGo on the Roku is one of the primary reasons I dumped Comcast for television 5 weeks after I started with them last fall.

What HBO needs to do is drop this cable/dish exlusive nonsence and do a Netflix and all this can be avoided. They are experimenting with it in Europe a bit, but I think once they see Netflix hit 40-60 mill subs in US alone they might pull the trigger.

Why wouldnt HBO use their own service to stream? Ide pay 10 bucks a month or 89.99 for the whole year for HBO as a stand alone service.

Oh, that's very different.   Nevermind.

But then again HBO always have old stuff on there and maybe one or two good movies.  Why are they still playing the old Terminator and When Harry Met Sally and stuff from the 90's. 

I want HBOGO on Roku also.  The message I got when trying to set it up was that Comcast does not support and that Comcast subscribers should complain to Comcast, which is what I am trying to do but they do not make it easy to send email complaints.

I have Roku as well, and I am frustrated that I can't add HBO GO using my comcast account, since I would be able to do the same thing using FIOS. 😞  Sad sad...
