But then again HBO always have old stuff on there and maybe one or two good movies.  Why are they still playing the old Terminator and When Harry Met Sally and stuff from the 90's.  ... View more

But never the less, you can still do well sharing your ID and password because i know people who are currently doing this and not once has anyone been kicked off for too many viewers.  I guess it's rare that all 4 users will be logged in at the same time.  But i think it's not a big issue for Netflix becaues even though sharing happens Netflix has a large consumer base that makes it worth while.  I believe Netflix probably has 3 times as many customers as Comcast because Comcast is not everywhere.  Netflix is available to anyone with a laptop.  However, i feel Comcast is afraid to lose potential customers if they allow Roku on Xfinity and friends and family started sharing accounts in different households. In otherwords, Comcast is GREEDY as he!!  Furthermore, they're smart with the 6 month deals they claim are deals.  I currently have a 6 month promotion deal for the preimum channels because i like all of the Magic City, Trueblood, Boardwalk, Camelot...etc, but yet i'm still paying over $200 a month and i don't even have a land-line.  I have the double play.  Can you say OLIGOPOLY!!  ...

Point taken.  But i can't see any other reason.  I guess i can argue Roku is popular and sells a lot of units.  They can stand to forego the profit margins from those other things mentioned above, i.e. Apple, Xbox, but the profit margin loss from Roku would exceed the percentage that they've estabilished since they've done their homework and realize that Roku sales are up there.  Don't know, just rationalizing.  But what ever the case is, you can bet your bottom dollar that it's profit driven.  I'm on this thread now because as i went through my roku apps and saw Hbo go, and thought i'd be able to use it since i have comcast and i'm already paying for HBO.  I was surprised to find out that Comcast / Xfinity wasn't on the list for activation companies on the page for  www.hbogo.com/activate  WTH!! ...

Lets face it guys.  Comcast is about the money.  Lets take Netflix for instance, you can use someones Netflix account in any home and anywhere so Netflix is losing millions of dollars because you can give your friends your account ID and password and they can watch free movies at home without paying for a netflix account.  Why would Comcast let you stream movies through Roku so you can give your ID and password to anyone else with a Roku box and let them have access to HBOgo for Free!!!  See where i'm going with this?  Comcast didn't become wealthy by giving free movies away.   :o/ ...
