ROKU, HBO GO

I have HBO GO on the computer and on my iPad.  I really want it on Roku, too.  Any chance of that???

Comcast does monitor these forums, but they rarely comment on this type of thing. I'd encourage you guys to keep requesting HBOGO for the Roku. Enough customers asked HBOGO  for the XBOX that Comcast eventually made it available. So there is hope.

 

Ways to contact Comcast

 

Of course this topic is 2 years old...

You have a couple avenues open for you to express your discontent: 1) go to https://www.comcastsupport.com/chatentry/?Trouble.Internet.Other@ and chat with a Comcast CSR stating clearly and camly that you want access to the HBO content you pay for on your Roku device.  Tell them that you are considering canceling your service unless Comcast grants access to the content you pay for.  Let them know that other TV providers grant said access. 2) Send a tweet to @ComcastCares and @Matt_CIM and succinctly let them know your complaints.  Ultimately, this forum is not the best place to air grievances because the Comcast powers that be are unaware of its activity.  The only powers we have are to file complaints and cancel subscription.  If you want to do something: file a complaint or cancel.

I see that you removed my comment which was not inappropriate nor disruptive.  Would you care to give an explanation?

The latest Comcast commercial promoting HBO touts all the options you have to watch HBO. It implies you can watch HBO Go anyway you want. Too bad you can't watch it on a full size screen unless you want to spent $40-60 extra annually to watch on the Xbox 360 or $100 for the Apple TV. Comcast is taking fully advantage of it's monopoly in my city.

Isn't that completely ironic? What a lie, the ways to access HBOGO is very limited.I can't believe that this forum started years ago, and it's still has NOT been resolved. Way to drop the ball Comcast! We pay an outrageous sum for monthly digital cable. When I threatened to switch, they appeased me with six months of free HBO. This was fine when True Blood was on air. Now I'm STILL unhappy with how much we pay, and I'm more angry that Comcast is controlling the amount of available HBO that can be viewed on my television. I don't even understand why they can not have a sophisticated on demand, with all the content. But since they are not capable of that, they should at the very least allow customers to access HBOGO on Roku.

Very very close to switching....

I would expect to have the option to use Roku on a large screen in any of three bedrooms or office to watch HBO GO. A premium service which I already pay for via cable subscription (almost $200/month!!!) and use on my smart phone and iPad at home. It is bad enough that one can't stream such via 4G LTE. 

 

Comcast:  Please add HBO GO to Roku, which all your competitors did a long time ago.

Thank you
