I'm not saying I agree with Comcast, its just their opinion. They will lose some extra boxes but it would be a very, very small amount. Can't say I agree with de-regulating cable industry. My Tivo boxes work with Comcast only because the cable industry has to support cable cards. If it is deregulated you will see every cable company drop cable card support and then they will start to pick and choose what you can and what you can't watch via your internet connections...

People would keep 1 or 2 Comcast boxes but with a Roku they could connect to their home network and watch HBOGO (assuming they have HBO of course) along with many other options the Roku devices (Netflix, Amazon Prome Videos, Hulu + along with many free options). Comcast will not budge on this it seems and that is why I am canceling their service at the end of this month....

It is Comcast blocking, it would make it too easy for people with HBO to get rid of their 2nd (or 3rd) Comcast box and watch HBO GO on a Roku and save money every month. http://www.technobuffalo.com/home-entertainment/streaming-media/hbo-go-not-working-on-your-roku-dont-blame-hbo/

I guess its nice he responded but I can't say I am happy with the response. They now say they need at least 5-7 months to get something setup (and that is best case) that should have taken no time at all. I think this is just blow off answer....

Comcast has a working relationship with Microsoft/Xbox and started off my offering Comcast on Demand on Xbox and later added HBO Go. Google "Comcast blocking HBO Go" and look at the hits you get or look at this article about how the CEO of Time Warner is unhappy about some cable companies are blocking the app (basically only Comcast at this point)..... http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2012/02/08/time-warner-ceo-sends-clear-signal-to-cable-operators/

Xbox 360 is a good multimedia device so so is a Roku. The Xbox though is $199 + $40-$60 a year in fees. Roku's start at $50 with not annual fees on the right to use HBO GO. There is a much longer thread on this but Xfinity/Comcast doesn't seem to care that other cable companies like ATT U-verse, Charter, RCN, Time Warner, Verison FiOS, WOW..... along with Dish do allow it. Just happy I don't work for a company that offers inferior products and choices and doesn't seem to care...

Translation: Business decision - Roku...they don't want their customers getting a Roku and start to believe they don't need cable. Technology - Samsung Smart TV's...new technology they will eventually support...

If you have a good product that offers fair value to your customers you do not fear them using/seeing 3rd party applications. If you feel you do not then you do everything you can to keep your customers from seeing/using those products.

I agree, I believe that Comcast will allow HBO Go on the XBOX, it will be there way of saying that customers do have options other than their equipment (even if it isn't the option every customer wants).

It's not supported: http://support.roku.com/entries/20585347-does-my-television-provider-offer-hbo-go-on-roku-devices Comcast doesn't want it available on the Roku boxes (there's another very long thread on it)

Seems pretty obvious that at this point they have no plans to support HBO Go on Roku boxes. They consider Roku competition and are working with Microsoft on Xbox 360 support. If you want HBO Go on Roku go to U-verse (if available) or Dish. Up until this I had been very happy with Xfinity/Comcast but this is very short-sighted and disappointing...

Thanks, I called that number and received a call back in a hour or so. The person who called back "wanted to inform me that everything in HBO-GO is available with our on demand service" which I did correct her on.....hopefully enough will call so Comcast ads it and I don't have to look for a new provider.

I'll file a complaint with the FCC tonight. They are required by law to provide cable cards for Tivos so they can't make you use their equipment. They seem to be doing something similar here (with only having their boxes and maybe XBOX 360) offer HBO on demand...

I emailed HBO letting them know why I canceled their service through Comcast. I know by itself it won't do anything but when they eventually offer HBO as a free standing product Comcast can just look at situations like this....
