Look, I've been reading and participating in this forum for the longest time.  I said it 6 months ago and I'll say it again now, COMCAST DOES NOT CARE ABOUT WHAT YOU OR I WANT!!! They will do only what profits them.   We are, for many of us, a captive audience.  Either forced though exclusive contracts, as in my suburb, to rely on Comcast for internet, and having no other choice for cable.  I know, I could go satellite, but just don't want the hassle of split service.  I need to find what other boxes, besides xbox, Comcast supports hbogo on. Someday streaming and technology will put Comcast out of business and I for one will say good riddance to their arrogant lack of regard for the needs of their customer base.  Not to mention their constant price   increases.  Until then, I will have to bend my needs around Comcasts poor decisions.  I do not believe they will rectify this. ...

Truth be told, I think activity died off because people have realized Comcast could care less about what we think or want.  This thread has expressed the desire of the community quite well enough, with hardly a response from Comcast, other than canned replies.  So, our attempts for clarity, or satisfaction, have merely fallen on deaf, uncaring corporate ears.  Once I am no longer part of Comcasts captive audience, (my suburb has no other available internet/cable carriers), and I do believe technology will shortly provide another route, I will remember this, and other ill treatments, (unfair pricing and bundling, random price increases, poor customer service,etc....), and respond accordingly. ...

Truthfully, I don't think its fear, as I have stated previously, I think they could care less.  They give (or more likely try to charge), what they want, when they want, and have no consequences because for the most part, they have a captive customer base.  It is unfortunate, we have to live with this monopolistic structure.  Sooner or later Technology, and corporate greed, will open other avenues for our broadcast needs, and structures like Comcast will be abandoned in droves. ...

Tirering of the delay HBOGO ON ROKU NOW COMCAST!!!! ... View more

Hey, Comcast, keep your texting, old news, already have it, as 95% of your user base already have. Give me HBO Go On ROKU!!!! ... View more

As I have repeatedly stated, Comcast does not care.  I have noted others coming to this realization.  Comcast will have a netflix event, and lose vast numbers of customers.   HBO will sooner or later offer their product without being tied to Cable provider.  HBOGO was the first missile.  As soon as this happens many more providers will follow suit.  I for one will immediately place a good antenna in the attic, and buy my hbo content directly.  I may still need comcast for internet, but maybe not.  With netflix, redbox, Amazon, who needs the million and 1 inferior channels offered anyway.  My buddy just put an antenna in attic and I swear his HD on regular channels is stellar!  I could feed my family for the month on what I pay Comcast, and their arbitrary quarterly increases are now painful.  I have a buffet table of devices that get some channels, but not others, and its a real pain.  I really have only myself to blame for staying so long and paying so much.  I wish my suburb had another provider.  Oh well, we'll have to wait and see, but I am losing hope.  Streampix, btw, has little content when compared to others.  Maybe ultimately their poor decision on HBOGO, Roku will get me off my behind, and make some changes. ...

Again same MO, Comcast will just ignore what they don't like, eventually we will give up.  Why? Because Comcast does not care.   There is no good reason presented to me from any associate for the absence of Hbogo on Roku. In fact, most of the associates are misinformed, (I've been told: yes its available on Roku, No its not available on Roku but will be soon, and Huh?) poorly informed customer service. "Chats", are no better.  So now I live with a Hodge podge  of boxes with, Xbox in the basement, great for hbogo. Roku in den and bedroom, limited to netflix and crackle. Finally, Comcast Dvr in main family room, limited on demand service, and just a ridiculous feeling that I am foolish to be paying  big money every month for this ludicrous configuration.  As I said before, presented with the  Ability to use a different provider, who could unify my needs, and I will be a memory for Comcast faster than high speed rail.  Technology will catch up.  The day Hbo offers their service without being tethered to archaic cable provider, and like a falling house of cards the game will be over for this uncaring company. ...

ya know what, Comcast does not care.  They have many of us as a captive audience, they know this, and they just don't care.  They are not sensitive or responsive in any areas, as evidenced by the great number of customer complaints, arbitrary price increases, poorly designed apps, or limited device access. Until a universal customer response, such as happened to Netflix, they will keep the status quo.  However, technology will eventually win out, and they will try a knee jerk fix, but will have already lost.   ...
