No, this is internet. This is Comcast we are talking about, it may be a television service they are blocking but they are doing it as the ISP. If there is little to no competition in ISPs then how do people get around that?

From what I can tell, if my friend came over with their Verizon account and I had a PS4 connected to Comcast internet they can log in and access their account on my PS4. So, yes, it is television. You subscribe through your television provider to HBO, and they allow you to use that account and subscription with the app. 

Oh really? Ok, I'll admit that is different and isn't as bad as I thought then.

I'm not certain, but that was my assumption. Usually these subscription things require a log in from your cable company, and that is probably how comcast is "blocking" the service, by not allowing you to use your comcase username/password.
