Client has Comcast triple play at home. He has business Wi-Fi, but no cable service at his studio. Installed a Roku at his studio, which has the Xfinity streaming app, but it of course sees no subscription for cable service at his studio and will not display any channels.

Is it possible to set up his network at the studio so it thinks it is logged in to his network at home?
There is no truth anymore. Only assertions. The internet world has no interest in truth, only vindication for preconceived assumptions.

Did he use his account info that's tied to his home? The app doesn't care if you have Xfinity at the location you're trying to use it at. I use mine all the time either on my iPhone or my iPad.

He most likely used the studio account login.

The mobile app is different than Xfinity Stream beta on Roku. That app looks for IP address and MAC info...

I don’t know for sure, but I would think a properly configured LAN to LAN VPN would make this possible. If you did this and then went to whatismyip.com from the studio WiFi, you would get back the public IP at home.
If it's not simple, it's not sufficiently advanced.

Can you give me a few of the step by steps, with Ubiquiti router at the house, Apple at the studio?

Sorry, I work with Mikrotik. I really don’t know anything about Ubiquiti routers.
