Which Android TV network apps actually work with Comcast/Xfinity login credentials? I know of exactly one.

Watch ESPN now works with a Comcast login. Anyone know of any others?

What I would really like is a browser that can be sideloaded and work with the Flash based Xfinity Stream web app that is meant for desktop and laptop based web browsers. I tried one Android based browser that supports flash but the login button refused to be clickable even using a mouse.

It seems feasible that someone could or has created an Android browser that fakes the user agent it reports or whatever it's called. I'm sure that Comcast probably tries to detect what OS the browser is running on and will refuse to run if it's something other than an OS meant for desktop systems and laptops. I know they are very particular about requiring one of the latest versions of Flash for the Stream web app to be usable.

The Disney ones should work. I haven't tried them in forever, but my sister's kids would use them and the Comcast login allowed live viewing, etc. I imagine some ABC ones might work as well, since ABC is also owned by Disney (same with ESPN).

The CNN Go app works, so does FXNow, ABC, TNT, TBS NBC, Freeform, FOXNow and NBC.

There are probably a few more I haven't tried.

Hmm. Fox Sports Go works with Xfinity now, too. Are they changing their policy?

Every single one I tried six months ago had no option to login with Comcast.

There's an Xfinity Stream on xda-developers that works with the ShieldTV now.

HBO Go and the like work as well.

Works great for the nearly unlimited episodes of Sesame Street, for my son.
