I am considering upgrading my AppleTV3 to the new AppleTV4.
My TV provider is Xfinity, and on the ATV3, the apps that require a login - History, Lifetime, A&E, etc. do not allow me to login directly as Xfinity isn't listed as a provider. There is a workaround for this, as the channels actually ARE supported by my TV account.
I am curious if this workaround is still going to work, or if the ATV4 apps allow Xfinity login directly.

Is anyone using ATV4 on Xfinity and successfully getting connected to:
History
A&E
Lifetime
WatchABC
CNN
FYI


If anyone is looking for the workaround for ATV3, I found it here: http://forums.xfinity.com/t5/XfinityTV-Website/Apple-TV/td-p/2180454
