I have internet and the Xfinity stream app of which I get limited basic channels and HBO included in said package. yes but it is a free subscription offered to Xfinity internet-only customers to let them sample what having a cable bundle experience could be like. Any package is available to install using the set top boxes or even the Instant TV from Xfinity. (no set top boxes needed, just uses your own internet). Rustybe, et al.:   I'm considering this "free" subscription as well, and have an old Roku 2 XS (3100) lying around.  I understand that the Xfinity Stream App Beta for Roku won't work on that model, but wonder whether anyone can confirm that the Xfinity CREDENTIALS from the "free" Xfinity Stream package can by used to logon to the Roku HBOGO or HBONOW apps on that model?  I'm asking this b/c it has been confirmed that for some bizarre reason these same credentials do NOT suffice to sign onto these apps on the Nvidia Shield (and there is no Xfinity Stream beta app for the Shield).     I only care about HBO; don't care about Xfinity Stream or other channels. Thanks. ... View more
