No more Comcast on Demand with TiVo

[Claude Greiner]

What’s up. I got a message that my on demand is going away on my TiVo?

Will on demand work with the xfinity stream App?

Xfinity VOD app


It’s going away and they’re working with TiVo on a new app.

This has been coming for quite a while now. Absent the gubmint finding a suitable replacement for CableCARD, the carriers are having to do their own conditional access thing. Apparently Comcast doesn't see the benefit of chasing after TiVo anymore and I'd imagine that TiVo isn't in a financial or technological position to front their own solution.

Has nothing to do with cable card support. The VOD app ran on the old TiVo HME protocols which doesn’t support the latest security features.

Has a lot to do with the fact that there's no codified standard to replace CableCARD. If there were a suitable access control methodology, TiVo could have implemented it as they did with HME.

Its much more economic to stream with a cloud dvr..ratherthan maintain expensive hardware soloutions .not to mention they have more control over ad skipping...face facts...the traditional dvr with a hard drive is fading away...the advertisers are jumping for joy

So I will cherish my Hoppers as long as they last.

Charlie is doing us a favor. We can keep our on site DVRs for as long as we want. Today.

For as long as it lasts.
