Comcast isn't participating in this, so no HBO on Roku for Comcast subscribers.
- koenigdavidmj 14y agoSo Comcast and Time Warner, quite possibly the two largest cable companies in the US, both ban Roku users from using HBO Go. Who can use it then?
- mikeryan 14y agoTime Warner can, and pretty much all next largest operators after Comcast Cox, Charter, Insight, BrightHouse, ATT, Verizon. Comcast works on Xbox, not sure why not the Roku yet.

It's not because DSL is slower (it really isn't, in the wild), but because it's a true competitive threat. Aside from the slight speed differential, cable companies are a (willingly) captured industry, so you will see industry-driven content restrictions like these from them that you don't see on DSL.
