Support NeoGAF

[Dr_LawyerCop]

I can't wait to drop comcast when I move.

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

What has it not worked with in the past? Comcast has worked with me for HBO Go on my computer, 360, Apple TV, phone, etc. Did it ever not work on something?

Those are pretty much all that Comcast will allow its use on. And Samsung TVs as of the last year or so. Can't use HBOGo with a Comcast on subscription on PS3 or Roku, and I'll bet not on PS4.

 

[eFKac]

Eu too or only Us?

Buahahahaha

Spoiler

;_;

 

[Blanquito]

So, now with Net Neutrality passed, I wonder if this Comcast issue is something that could be brought to the FCC. There's no way it's due to "technical limitations" or "app testing". That's a bunch of bull.

 

[ThatStupidLion]

finally. so happy

 

[E the Shaggy]

FINALLY! Of course I'm starting to realize that since I have Comcast I may not be able to play it anyway.

 

[0.1.1.2.3.5.8.13.21.34.55]

FUCK YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But is it supported by Comcast?.. cause PS3 wasn't

 

[AndyD]

Hopefully comcast will let me use it with the system. -_-

This is the lynchpin.

 

[Gleethor]

The Comcast thing will be less of an issue once HBO starts using standalone subs.

 

[Mr.Fresh]

Finally ! Dm today is a great day! A new TV , A new Bed, and now HBO Go!

 

[BFIB]

Awesome.

I need Ari Gold in my PS4.

 

[Beelzebufo]

FUCK YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But is it supported by Comcast?.. cause PS3 wasn't

Nope!

I just found out about this. That's really ridiculous haha

 

[GeoramA]

Only keeping my PS3 around for Yakuza 5 now.

 

[AngelOFDeath]

When does standalone HBO Go go into effect? Near as I can tell cable provider subscription is still needed.

I believe first week of April

 

[AyaisMUsikWhore]

Hopefully comcast will let me use it with the system. -_-

This... Because it's the only thing that matters.

 

[0.1.1.2.3.5.8.13.21.34.55]

Nope!

I just found out about this. That's really ridiculous haha

Seriously.. WTF!

 

[Dan]

Nice.

Now if only there was a PS4 media remote... that's what I really want.

 

[Beelzebufo]

Can anyone comment on the apparently logic behind their decision? Like I don't know anything about business or streaming, but this only serves to have them lose money once the hbo-only service becomes available, right? Do they make more money when you watch TV on an Apple TV vs a PS4 somehow?

 

[Nameless]

Of fuck you Sony & HBO, I literally just finished my Thrones rewatch Sunday using the 360

 

[fritzo]

Nice.

Now if only there was a PS4 media remote... that's what I really want.

This. i love my DS4, but not as a media remote. my tv remote does work with the PS4, but I'd rather have a PS4 remote. get on it sony.

 

[Subterranean]

With this I don't see why I have a Apple TV anymore. PS4 is my go to entertainment hub now.

 

[Lombax]

I believe first week of April

cool thank you.

 

[Dishwalla]

Oh shit, finally. All I need now is FXNOW.

 

[dubq]

Standalone HBO can't get here soon enough.

This.

hope it does. sounds ridiculous. no wonder so many people hate them..

 

[BlockheadBrown]

Hopefully comcast will let me use it with the system. -_-

Still a no-go.

 

[graffix13]

Great news!

Too bad I have Comcast...

 

[Dalek]

Great! I've been using the Apple TV version which is bare bones.

 

[shadowsdarknes]

I'm still so cynical about comcast.

 

[『Inaba Resident』]

Cool.
Can finally watch season 3 of the Newsroom

 

[eosos]

About time!

 

[Reptars Revenge]

Showtime and starz next please.

 

[Derpyduck]

Cool. Now give us a real Twitch app.

 

[NoSkillz187]

I know no one has an answer to this, but when the HBOGO standalone happens in I'm guessing April before GOT, will it be an update to the existing HBOGO apps? Because it will suck if we have to wait again for a new app to be released.

 

[serversurfer]

Hopefully comcast will let me use it with the system. -_-

That's what I was wondering about. Charter won't let me use the Comedy Central app on my phone. =/

 

[Zeyphersan]

I'd cancel HBO through Comcast and pay more for the standalone if it would let me sign in on console

This shit is ridiculous

 

[JABEE]

Comcast not being supported on PlayStation consoles and Roku is ridiculous. There has to be a way for Sony to make this work.

 

[m@cross]

I think this about sums it up regarding Comcast and their blocking of non paying device makers.

[Mortemis]

Some of us: Yesssss
Comcast: lol no

Hurry up with the standalone sub HBO. I can't stand this shit.

 

[Wereroku]

Nope Microsoft has an agreement with them. Link

Not sure what Sony can do if they keep signing exclusivity agreements with Microsoft.

Supposedly it's going to be a wholly different app based on the MLB.tv app.

No one really knows yet, obviously, but it seems silly to "launch" something that people can't use yet. That being said, the turn-around for iOS/Android is going to be a lot faster than on PSN.

 

[Symphonia]

Is there a way to get this/watch this in the UK?

 

[Red_taiyaki]

So glad that I just switched to U-Verse this week. YAY!

 

[laughingmood]

Oh cool the Wire app.

I've been waiting for this.

Fixed

You can use HBO Go via Comcast on the Roku. It's just laggy and near unwatchable.

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

How do you like it? I'm in that process right now. The guy is here installing it now.

Oh shit, Comcast does allow Roku now. Crazy. When did that happen?

 

[Derpyduck]

Comcast is taking over Time Warner where I live, but Google Internet was just announced to be coming here, so hopefully that happens before I lose HBO Go due to whatever Comcast is doing. Or better yet, I hope HBO's new subscription service arrives sooner rather than later.

 

[spyder_ur]

This shit is ridiculous

Honestly, I think my HBO is like 8 or 9 dollars a month? I would happily pay probably $20 directly to HBO to not have to deal with Comcast's BS.

Does HBOGo work on PS3 with Comcast yet? I haven't checked in a bit.

That's what I don't really understand. They have to know which way the wind is blowing on this one. Why not bring enhanced value to your customers in an effort to keep them as customers?

 

[The Llama]

Everyone just needs to complain to Comcast. 360 users and Apple did, which is why it works on those devices.

 

[Good Guy Gone Bad]

Hahaha this would be nice but I have Comcast. Still no HBOgo for me on my TV since I don't have any XBOX consoles hooked up.
