Activating HBO Go Spectrum on AndroidTV

by bartz13

Just a useful tip for Spectrum cable subscribers (potentially others): Spectrum doesn't recognize AndroidTV as an approved device for some premium content apps, but I've noticed that you bypass by saying the device is an Amazon Fire TV or sometimes Roku and activating the app will work. Hope this helps, so you don't have to deal with wonky casting.

HBO Go activates for Spectrum on my Shield.

FWIW, Comcast has never let you activate HBO Go on Android TV.

It's bullshit extortion. Fuck Comcast.

Thanks for the advice. Spectrum stopped showing up as an approved service provider a few weeks ago and I hadn't tried anything. I will try on both of mine later.
