Most places Comcast Internet is your best bet and the service is nothing like the TV which you aready know.   Good luck with Dish, I have to call them right now about the Horror show they have put me throught for the last two years. My father-in-laws altzhimers kicked into high gear about 3 months into our 2 year agreement (when he became afraid of the TV and would not watch it, and would disconnect everything as soon as we hooked it up again) and I could not get him/me out of it. They just billed me for a receiver that he hid and thats of course when I found it finally. See if they will let me send it back now. Also they will charge you to return your equipment. I am sorry for the situation you and your father are in, but know that Comcast would likely treat you no better than Dish. Getting out of contracts with any company is a tough, often futile battle. Dish charged you for a receiver that your father hid? Comcast charged customers for equipment lost when Hurricane Ike destroyed their homes.   http://abc13.com/archive/6460278/   They also charged customers during service outages when Hurricane Irene hit.   http://www.phonenews.com/comcast-lost-service-due-to-hurricane-irene-is-act-of-god-refusing-account-credits-17544/   Only after a lot of bad press was Comcast willing to rectify the situation. If Comcast is willing to extend any courtesy to anyone its because they think its in their best interest as far as money making goes, not because they care about you at all. This is true of most companies. ... View more

Yes, we can all go get Apple TVs, rent/buy cable boxes, or connect a PC to a TV and get HBO Go that way. The point is that we really shouldn't have to be forced to go buy more stuff when, with little more than the flip of a switch, Comcast could allow HBO Go (for which we already pay) through the equipment we already have. They choose not to, and they should. ... View more

Real Time with Bill Maher not even there.  They will be up May 21st, and it's only older (3+ years) content. It's still better than what we had. ... View more

If you really think Comcast doesn't know about the HBO Go Roku issue, you're wrong. They are intentionally blocking it -- have been since Roku acquired HBO Go access in 2011. They are the last major ISP to do so.   I am glad that Comcast has finally allowed FOX Now on Roku, but it isn't enough. There are still a lot of channels, including HBO Go, that Comcast is blocking. These include the History Channel, Lifetime, A&E, and more. I've dropped HBO Go because of this issue, so maybe I should just drop the rest of my pay TV service as well and save myself some more money. ... View more

As of today, I have removed HBO from my Comcast service specifically because of this issue. For a long time I have held out since I really love HBO, but perhaps it isn't worth dealing with Comcast's awful policies; I would rather go without. ... View more

I want to throw in my support for HBO Go, and the other channels that I already pay for to be made available on Roku. Comcast routinely dodges the question of why they choose to exclude Roku and other services, but I think the most likely answer is that they do not wish to risk hurting profits on their own equipment. If this is true, then please know that I like the flexibility and portability that Roku affords me, and  I will NEVER purchase, lease, or rent a box from Comcast EVER; and you are further hurting your company's image (if that's even possible with as bad as it is already), as well as excluding the possibility of myself and others ever upgrading or adding onto our current service. Every other major provider has chosen to work with Roku rather than continue to oppose them. Please join them, thank you. ... View more
