OpenVPN Newbie question

[armalone]

I have installed Open VPN on my ASUS AC3100 router and installed OVPN on my Android phone, Tablet and Windows 10 PC.
I am able to access all my local devices web interface to local network NAS, Camera, etc. using local 192.168.xxx.xxx addresses. It works great for that.

What does not work is when I attempt access to my Comcast live feeds. When I am away from my home network and establish a OVPN connection to my network via my ASUS router and access my DVR via the Comcast application I can retrieve and watch recorded material. When I attempt to access live TV programming It tells me that my access is restricted to devices on my home network. It does work when I am on my home network.

I was under the impression that making a VPN connection into my home network would make my connection appear that my request was initiated locally.

Being new to VPN's I am sure that there is something that I do not understand / am doing wrong.

Do you understand the difference between routing and NAT ?
