Thanks for the update.
I've had this problem for a week and nobody at either Comcast or TiVo could point me in the correct direction.
The troubleshooting page on TiVo's website can be found here:
TROUBLESHOOTING : XFINITY On Demand for TiVo Premiere
Here is a link to TiVo's support document showing how to tell if the card is paired or not:

I'm in the Milpitas Calif. area and I finally got my cable card for my Tivo Premiere on Tuesday and I've been playing around with it for a couple of days.
I do get Comcast's On-Demand and it actually works. It's not setup like a normal Comcast box but it is useable and it is integrated into the Tivo search results.
So you can now search Netflix, Amazon Video, Hulu Plus, normal tv and Comcast's On Demand and view them from this new interface.
This is the Tivo/Comcast interface that should have been adopted by Comcast along time ago, instead of that wonky software interface they tried on the East coast.
Is it perfect, no, but it is useable and does, for now, what I want it to do.
The HD menu on the Tivo is really slow and takes a while to get use to it but looks very nice and if you need a speedier interface you can use the SD menu.
The Comcast On Demand interface is pretty spartan and takes a while to get use to it but you can finally get On Demand without having to have another box just for getting On Demand.
I'm sure, as I use it more, I'll find things that need to be improved or needs to be added but for an initial roll out of the integration of Tivo and Comcast's On Demand it's a good start and has, for now, kept me from going elsewhere.
I just hope they both continue to work on this and don't just make it work but make it work better.
Laters,
Mikef5

Saw this at the local Best Buy in Pittsburg, CA (East Bay Area). I imagine it won't take long to roll out if they are already promoting it in stores. Hopefully soon for the rest of us.

Now available throughout the SF Bay Area
XFINITY On Demand should now be available throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. If you aren't seeing it on your TiVo Premiere yet, try these steps:
1. Select "Connect to the TiVo Service now" from Settings > Network
2. Once it completes, make the connection a second time
3. Once that completes, if you are using the "HD Menus" go to TiVo Central and press THUMBS DOWN - THUMBS UP - PLAY - PLAY on the remote control

Does that included people who activated there TiVo after April 9th as well?
The help docs on tivo.com said I wouldn't get it till the rollout in the bay area is complete.
Edit - I check the site and the stipulation is gone! About to try the steps above (second connection in process)
2nd Edit - It WORKS THANK YOU!

Worked exactly as described, connected two times and used the remote commands and I have onDemand on TiVo. I still can't believe it! I tested 3D as well and can report success. This is a huge win and I hope TiVo keeps innovating to bring more features to our boxes.

Working in San Ramon, Zip Code 94582!
Beware, however, if you don't have any premium channels and have not had you cable cards paired, you'll be spending some time on the phone with Comcast getting that set up.

Ha, let's get all of the rest of the Comcast users outside of San Francisco up and running before worrying over other providers.

Still no love here. I even went online with Comcast Support. They were no help at all. I did the above that TiVo Margaret suggested and STILL, all I'm seeing is ONE FOLDER that says "About On Demand" with some short introduction videos to the service...
ANYONE ELSE SEEING ONLY THE "ABOUT ON DEMAND" FOLDER?

Works for me now up in Marin County! Honestly the navigation is faster & clearer on the Tivo than it is on the actual Comcast boxes, so this is a big win. Wouldn't mind seeing it re-worked in HD and whatnot, but at least this setup is fast, if not pretty.
Honestly Comcast could organize their OnDemand a lot better, its pretty disorganized in general. But that's hardly Tivo's fault. Glad to see everything seems to be there.
As a bonus, I'm in an area with no BBC-HD, but now I can see BBC shows in HD via on-demand! Also HBO-3D, is that a carried channel in some areas? Another cool offering now open to us via OnDemand!

Hopefully they can learn a little bit about organizing from TiVo. Comcast's haphazard menus and functions drove me nuts for the month I tried their DVR.
Still, anxiously awaiting a Chicagoland rollout.

Still screwed in Cupertino. Still only have the "About On Demand" folder with the intro videos.

TiVoMargret responded to you directly to contact her through email in another thread. Sounds like a good place to start!

I'm not sure if anyone cares (or has the power to fix this), but tivo.com/comcast still says this for my zip code (94555, in Fremont, CA), even though On Demand was live as of last night:
Unfortunately XFINITY® On Demand on TiVo Premiere DVRs is not available in the area you entered. Sign up to be informed when it becomes available, or try another ZIP code.

Okay. I think we are getting closer now! 
My buddy smark has been working on this for me and now I have the a whole new set of folders starting with "Top Picks". So we are definitely heading in the right direction.
One major problem though... I can't seem to find the "PPV" folder (which is the only one I need). Where do you go to get the PPV's?

Yes. They have "New Releases" as well as "Same Day as Theaters". I just checked, and it's $5.99 for new release, HD Movie. The same Movie in SD is $4.99. So basically, it's the same pricing as they have on the Comcast Boxes.
