There are plenty of places that only have 2 options max. Depending on where you live satellite may not be an option.

Only if you have an apple device. So... I won't be able to use it.

Oh, didn't realize that it was only for apple devices.

Side-Note: 

That cements the point. If Apple can make a deal with HBO to only have their standalone streaming service on their devices, legally, and that isn't anti-competitive, why can't Comcast do the same with their contracted HBO service? 

That's irrelevant. The only reason Comcast can block access is because it is that person's ISP, no other reason.  Therefore it is Comcast's position as the ISP that is preventing people from accessing a service (HBOGo) not owned by Comcast. An ISP should not be allowed to selectively block accounts for access to services that are not their own.

HBO may be an accessory here if HBO has made certain deals with certain ISP/cable providers to funnel content delivery in certain ways. And if such collusion has been going on between HBO and some ISPs then that needs to have a light shone on it.

Until proven otherwise this situation is a clear indication of a utility provider (ISP) using it's position as an ISP to try to force people to access a service in a certain way. It is not that much different to MS using it's position of dominance in PC OS to try to get people to use Explorer as their web browser, a practicve for which MS got into all sorts of legal trouble.

As a cable provider Comcast should not be able to use its position as such to force someone to access HBOGo via the internet through a Comcast account where Comcast is also the ISP. Cable TV abnd internet are completely separate services and even though a company provides both services there should be an arms length relationship when it comes to allowing access to content that can be accessed through both services. 

I doubt you can guarantee access to a non-cable subscrition linked internet HBOGo subscription through Comcast internet. Because Comcast will still be able to tell the account is linked to a COmcast subscription and thius block access, unless and until Comcast is hauled over the legal coals for such a practice. Unless of course youy are a Comcast employee and you know that Comcast will free up acces sin this way. Are you a Comcast employee?

I'm definitely more pissed at HBO than I am at comcast. The whole subscription requirement was bs from the get go. Especially when they kind of subverted the tv providers by allowing people to share passwords. HBO needs to grow some balls and just dump that business model already. There are millions of people eager to throw money at them. Netflix did it without needing to align themselves with other companies, what is hbo so afraid of?

You are wrong! I already clarified this countless times. It is Comcast's position as the subscription seller (they sell the subscription to the consumer in a cable package) which allows them to not participate in the application on other platforms. The ISP and internet has nothing to do with it. If I were using Verizon internet, I still wouldn't be able to us my Comcast HBO subscription to log in. You can't use it because they are not an option on the drop down menu. Learn what you are talking about, please. I'm not continuing with you until you do. I've already attempted twice to tell you how this works. 

Glancing through these pages and I'm now under the impression that there's two separate arguments occurring because people aren't quite grasping the issue at hand.

So what I want to know, is this an A or B situation?

A) You are not signed up for HBO through Comcast, who provides your cable. You want to sign up for HBO Go as a standalone service (which is an app you can access through the internet on Smart TVs, smart box tops, consoles, web). Comcast also being your internet provider is not allowing you to access HBOGo by restricting your internet on non approved platforms (in this case PS4) because they want you to sign up for HBo through them as a cable company as opposed to signing up for the standalone HBO service.

Or B) You have HBO on your Comcast cable subscription. You aren't able to use your Comcast login info to access HBO Go on certain platforms (PS4)

I was initially under the impression that this was an A type scenario which would definitely be an issue of net neutrality in my honest opinion.

It is option B. Comcast isn't on the drop down list of television providers. You have a subscription to Comcast which includes HBO, but you can't use this subscription in the application. You can still download the application and if you had a Verizon, Time Warner, At&T, Cox, etc television provider you can sign in. It is the exact same thing HBO is doing with Apple. You can only watch HBO GO content using their standalone HBO service (no television provider needed) if you have an Apple device. 

Interesting point. Though with how large comcast is and howmuch it does, it's hard to say it's only cable. It's about online access to content being restricted by devices. While most people just think of net neutrality as the internet providers not blocking or messing with speeds of content to end usesers. The flip side to that is content providers not being able to lock out certain devices. I don't think people should be heald hostage because comcast wants to tripple dip. It's bad enough they dip twice. That's why I'd like them regulated like utilities.

Imagine power companies tripple dipping. You pay for your power. The companies that make the most energy get charged extra for the privalege of selling it to you, and all the manufacturers of devices in your home might need to pay so that your power company doesn't decide to block them from working in your home.

which is where net neutrality comes in.
