Am very disappointed to learn today that COMCAST/Infinity does not support HBO GO on the Roku 3 streaming player. What's funny about this is COMCAST's current slogan is "entertainment anytime, anywhere, any screen". Yeah, Right. Not supporting one of the leading streaming boxes in the industry would be laughable if it didn't make watching HBO GO on my 60" TV (Hi Def 1080p, Dolby 5.1 Surround) nearly impossible (and thats assuming you take time to research, figure-out, and install one of those poorly designed, deficient, disappointing gerry-rigged workaround apps available on the Roku. Trying to watch HBO GO on a large format, Hi-Def TV with Surround is an experience ranging from merely inconvenient to unwatchable to just plain impossible. How far behind does COMCAST lag behind the rest of cable industry on this isue? ALL of the folowing cable companies support HBO GO on Roku 3: Astound, AT&T U-Verse TV, Atlantic Broadband, BendBroadband, Blue Ridge Communications, Bright House, Buckeye CableSystem, Cable ONE, CenturyLink Prism, Charter, Cox, DISH, EPB Fiber Optics, GCI, Grande Communications, GVTC Communications, Hawaiian Telcom, Home Telecom, Home Town Cable Plus, Hotwire Communications, HTC Digital Cable, LUS Fiber, Insight Communications, Massillon Cable/CPI, Mediacom, MetroCast, Midcontinent Communications, Nex-Tech, Openband Multimedia, Optimum, RCN, Service Electric Broadband, Service Electric Cable TV, Service Electric Cablevision, Suddenlink, Time Warner Cable, Verizon FiOS, Wave Broadband and WOW! All those cable companies support HBO GO on Roku but not COMCAST. Until there is a critical mass of customers impacting their profitablity or reputation, I suspect COMCAST will continue to lag behind the industry standards/expectations on this issue _______ ... and don't get me started about bringing a COMCAST supported HBO GO app to the Apple TV ! <getting off soap-box>
