you will get no comment from comcast here regarding that. if you have an xbox 360 you can do it, I surmise they signed an exclusive agreement with them to only go there. you can also see that none of the comcast apps work on roku or any smarttv nor does the hbogo app authenticate on any smarttv like samsung, I wonder why.

it has nothing to do with any local provider, comcast does not support the app on roku. The only way to get it is on your computer, mobile device or xbox360

Thanks for the info, but are you posting this to say what does comcast not do this or are you just providing info to those who can get TWC? Comcast will most likely not be on this train and give up the box rental revenue, also how do you decode pay channels.?

it is true. comcast currently only allows access to hbogo through your pc, your phone, tablet, or xbox 360. This is suppose to be resolved early next year according to them. Its a license issue. Its always best to ask the question before you buy the device 🙂 check back on the forums for more info. you can always use the search feature to check for info like this, there are many threads about it.

dont hold your breath, how would you even use the roku on vacation, are you going to use it wirelessly in a hotel on their tv ? most hotels don't give you access to the ports on the tv's.

people have been complaing about this for years. Roku is not new been around for years. Comcast has said maybe next year. If you have an xbox 360 you can do it through there. for almost the same money you can do more with the xbox than the roku, just my opinion. I sent my roku back and got the 360

yes not arguing with you I knew all that. According to this thread with is 20 pages plus they say coming to samsung tv's q1 2013. has anyone tried using their laptop or tablets video out setting to watch it on your tv. Not a fix but does work just as good. http://forums.comcast.com/t5/XfinityTV-Website/ROKU-HBO-GO/td-p/1100271/page/11

of course its about the money. Are you aware you can watch it through comcast through a smartphone, tablet and xbox 360???? you can get an xbox 360 with connect now for 99.00 and you can play your netflix and so much more stuff with it, its great. Comcast also does not allow it on ps3 or, wii, or new wiiu.

right comcast will not give you access unless you get a comcast digital box or a kick back from the hardware provider. Another reason you don't see the xfinity app on any tv or roku, again you skirt the comcast box issue.

this is a user to user forum Hbo go works from comcast. You can access it on your pc, xbox 360 or smartphone or tablet only. On demand has thousands of free movies and shows so I don't know what on demand you are looking it. Yes the current dvr's can only record 2 shows at once. New new comcast box coming out can record 4. To logon to hbo go you have to do it on one of the devices mentioned above and with the primary account holders credentials.

comcast always rolls the apple products out first, then the android follows. so we got esnp last month so you should be right around the corner.

Probably but only comcast can tell you that, and they really don't say anything until it actually happens. the xbox360 is a great multimedia device and you can pick one up for 199.

streampix is available in the on demand section of the cable box and now on the xbox. Comcast makes nothing available to roku. Do you not have on demand on your cable box? If you already have netflix you have everything plus tons more than streampix does this is a user to user forum by the way.

you need to remember when you program for iphone you are programming for one device and one only. When you program for android you are programming for serveral hundred different pieces of equipment made by numerous manufacturers running different versions of the IOS, not as easy as you would think.

I know there are plans to allow it with the xbox 360 I have heard nothing about it about Roku, again its a licensing issue. Word of advice before you go out and buy something like that you should check here to see if comcast is blocking it.

Why are you trying to watch it on roku when you can play it from your TV? Are you just trying to get around the needing a box issue? This is strictly for my own curiousity as this is a customer to customer forum mainly.

the only thing the app would do is provide you on demand type programming, which you should have with your regular cable box, what exactly would you like the app to be on roku that you can't already do with your cable box.?
