Everyone that had an Amazon Fire TV or Amazon Fire TV Stick were praising the heavens when HBO Go finally came to the streaming box service. But there were a few out there that were also outraged, because Comcast subscribers were not allowed access to it on the Amazon Fire TV line.

Comcast is the largest cable company in America, with Time Warner Cable coming in second. The cable giant actually almost swallowed up TWC this year, but those plans fell through.

According to Comcast, the company has finally given in and unlocked the HBO Go service on the Amazon Fire line of streaming products. This of course might have something to do with them losing subscribers in the first quarter, which is usually their biggest year for subscriber gains. Outraged customers could have likely been going on a mass exodus and choosing streaming platforms such as Netflix, Amazon Prime or Hulu.

But either way, Comcast has finally wised up and unlocked the HBO Go and Showtime Anytime service on Amazon streaming devices that allow you to log in via an app and valid cable subscription to view all of their shows, anytime you want.

This follows a deal last December with Roku that allows the same advantages to owners of their streaming boxes.

"Both the Amazon Fire TV and Fire TV Stick join platforms like Roku, AppleTV, Xbox One and Google's Chromecast where subscribers can download the network's app, sign in with their Xfinity TV credentials, and immediately start watching the channel's shows and movies," Comcast Cable Executive Vice President Matt Strauss said on the Comcast website.

But as Digital Trends pointed out, this is notorious for Comcast -- to wait until the 11th hour to make the necessary changes for its customers due largely in part because it is the largest cable company in the U.S. and customers in many regions have no other competing options.

Comcast will still not support online streaming on PlayStation 3 and PlayStation4, added. Digital Trends.
