So, if this is the same issue: it's not that Comcast is using packet inspection to prevent HBO Go from working, it's that they have not partnered with HBO to allow authentication. So you are paying Comcast for HBO but you are not getting them to vouch for that fact.
- NoPiece 12y agoThat is weird because you can authenticate HBO Go on a PC with Comcast, so they have done some integration already.
- wmf 12y agoIt sounds like some kind of architectural mistake led to needing separate authentication code for every ISP-device combination.
- MiguelHudnandez 12y agoThat seems more damning than if they just did not "play" at all with HBO Go.
