PS4 owners have been waiting for the HBO Go app since the console launched, and they were thrilled to finally get it this week – all but those who subscribe to Comcast, that is.
The HBO Go app requires users to sign in using their cable subscription credentials, but those trying to access it with a PS4 on Comcast don’t even see the provider as an option in the app, reports The Verge.

Comcast has put roadblocks up for HBO Go on a variety of platforms, including Roku, Amazon Fire TV and Apple TV, and only some of those roadblocks have gone away.
For example: the PS3‘s HBO Go app, which launched exactly one year ago, still doesn’t work for Comcast subscribers.
Whether Comcast’s beef is with HBO or with Sony, it seems for now a lot of users are out of luck when it comes to accessing a service that they’re paying for.
We asked a Comcast representative whether that will change any time soon, and we’ll update you here if they get back to us.
