Got a new Firestick for $20 on AMZN Prime day.
Downloaded HBO_Go app on Firestick. It gave me an activation code.
Per instructions , went to Http://HBOGo.com/activate andit would just jump to the sing up screen as though I did not have HBO GO. I do have HBO Go and it shows as such in My Xfinity services.
(HBO NOW is a whole different thing. Ignore all references to it.)
TO fix it in about 10-15 min I did this:
Log on to your Xfinity account. Then go to support and start a Chat.
Tell the Support Rep your problem and that you think you need a "UDB Refresh".
The Rep went and did that, came back to me and instructed me to UNInstall the Firestick HBOGo App (NOT HBO NOW), then reinstall it and try the activation.
It immediately acted differently and also worked when I went to Http://hbogo.com/activate .
I thought I would report in detail in one place , as I read many messages before I did this.
Try it. - Bob
