Watch HBO Online for Free with HBO Go

Have you ever wondered where one might watch any HBO show online for free? Your time has come, HBO fan! Last year, HBO launched a new online program dedicated to making sure their subscribers were able to download and watch any HBO show at any time from nearly any online device. No, you aren’t hearing things. Full tv shows and movies are available to download right to your personal computing device at no additional cost to HBO cable subscribers!

HBO Go is a relatively new app that can be installed on an iPhone, iPad, or Android device and it has just recently been released for Microsoft’s Xbox gaming platform and on Apple devices soon.

And if that isn’t enough for you we’ve even heard rumors that HBO Go will soon be available on various televisions as built-in or downloadable software. HBO Go goes beyond even what Comcast’s On Demand network offers in terms of full series download availability. You can watch an entire season of Curb Your Enthusiasm on your iPad on a long plane flight or rewatch Game of Thrones season 1 and all you need is the time to watch and an internet connection. And it’s not just TV shows, you can even download and watch HBO movies via the HBO Go network.

Imagine riding on a bus and wanting to watch a full episode of Game of Thrones online. Before HBO Go, you’d most likely have to grab a torrent or get the digital version of the show by some other, less-legal method. But now, if you’re a current subscriber to HBO you can get those shows on the go absolutely free. Some of the programs even come with special features not available on television. Exclusive interactive features were recently deployed with the new season of Game of Thrones that are only available online. Personally, I end up watching most HBO programming on my home entertainment system but having HBO Go as a supplement for travel is a welcome addition and some people have no choice but to watch HBO shows online due to their busy schedules.

In the future we hope to see HBO offering an online-only version of HBO Go to non-subscribers so that cable-cutters are also able to access these wonderful shows. We’ve been advocating such a change for a while now in our various articles but for now, HBO can’t seem to shake some of the deals the currently have with cable operators. They’re most likely afraid of losing the business they already generate for them– their bread and butter if you will. HBO does sometimes offer premieres of new series online free to even non-subscribers such as they did with Girls and Veep recently. We hope this starts a trend that shows the Time-Warner owned cable company that people want online access to their programming.

Perhaps someday HBO Go will evolve into a product that anyone, anywhere can subscribe to for access to downloads of Game of Thrones, True Blood, The Newsroom and all of their other hit series. But for now you’ll still have to be a cable subscriber with a subscription to HBO to get free downloads of HBO series. We know that a subscription can cost up to 25 dollars per month but when you think about the access you get to past shows it might just be worth it.

HBO Go is the perfect way to watch HBO shows online for free in this brave new digital world. HBO is leading the way with this so-called Netflix-killer app that is taking the world by storm. Head over to HBOGo.com to register your HBO subscription today and start watching all of your favorite movies and series online now!

See? It’s pretty easy to watch Game of Thrones online with HBO Go. All you need is a subscription.

It makes me angry that I can’t just pay for this. Me and a lot of other people don’t have cable, because most tv is crap, so there is no point in paying for it at all. No network has provided a convenient, high quality option for people who get all their media online. If they allowed me to pay for this, I would pay in a heartbeat. Almost all the shows I might want to watch are on HBO or they are on legal streaming sites. Anyways, the premier of Game of Thrones season 3 would be a good time to change this. Unless they want to be the most illegally downloaded show on television for another season.

  well put, the fact of the matter is, if its easier to buy than steal, everyone will buy. Itunes is an example of this. availability dictates action

Hi, just wondering if this is available in Malaysia? I subscribe to HBO through the Astro satellite dish network. Thanks!

How is it that I can watch Netflix on my android while I am at work, but can’t get HBO Go. I am a subscriber. I can watch it at home with no problem and I HAVE to have internet to watch Netflix at work.

$25 a month? NOT TRUE. You first have to paying through the nose with a monthly cable plan PLUS around $25 ON TOP OF THAT to get HBO. I cut my cable due to economic downturn. I’m willing to pay $20-$25 per mos. for just ONLINE HBO but of course, the cable companies are in bed with HBO execs and taking us all to the cleaners so who knows how long it will take for that to happen if at all…

Will HBOGO be available in Europe (France). Could one just do an online subscription to watch it? Thanks

I sure hope they allow HBO lovers to download or pay an online subscription to watch HBO shows. I am a huge HBO fan and loved HBO GO but when I can get everything else online now and cut that HUGE satellite TV deal – HBO won’t keep me with my satellite provider. HBO just ends up losing me as a customer completely. They need to evolve. HBO is known for their innovative programming and the new HBO GO answered to so many of their customers wants and needs – but they need to go one step further or sadly – they will continue to lose their base. Sorry HBO – that’s the only reason why you lost me. I would gladly pay just to have you back on my TV or computer but I only want to pay YOU. Not someone else.

can you download hbo go on your laptop? how?
- Jef Dinsmore
  
  No, it is not a downloadable app. First, you must be a subscriber to HBO. then go to HBOGO.com and login via the cable company you subscribe to to open open the viseo player. then you can watch anything in HBO’s klibrary.

This is the only channel I would buy. Can’t wait for HBO Online! We only have one subscriber for cable, and they are terrible.

I was completely hooked on the Newsroom, and catching up On Demand. They removed the 2nd half of the first season WTF? It now only has 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7 – 6 is gone and 8-12 are gone. They were there before, gone now. Who do I complain to – Verizon Fios?

You can stream this stuff but NOT download , as in Netflix. A pity because HBO streaming is terrible compared to Netflix unless your bandwidth is terrific.

e.g. if you buy a movie from Apple in HD you can download then play it in HD even if you have limited bandwidth and the download takes 3 hours.

What if you don’t have HBO subscription… can you still get the app and if so, how much $

  Unfortunately no. But this may happen in the future. You’ll need a subscription to a cable company for now.

    As soon as HBO Go is available for purchase without a Cable subscription count me in. Cable right now costs approx. $720 per year where I live. I cancelled cable and got Netflix ($82 / year) , Amazon Prime ($75 / year), MLB.TV ($125 per year) and I also buy TV series on Amazon such as AMC’s Walking Dead ($1.99 per episode). AS it stands I spend about $300 per year and watch whatever I want hwne I want it. I’m saving $420 over cable right now. The problem with cable is your paying for content and channels you don’t want to see.
Damon

Does. Not work for me because wave broadband is not a part of HBOGo

  Yeah, not sure about international stuff, Daniel. I hope it can become available in your county and everywhere at some point!

HBO Go wont work on my Toshiba Thrive Tablet. But your website says that it works withall Android devices please fix.

  Not sure about that Keith. Try this:

  “HBOGO works in the broswer by setting user agent to desktop.”
  
  I know HBO (we aren’t affiliated– we’re just fans!) is trying hard to make it work on all platforms. Just a lot of devices out there to work with, ya know? Try the above and hold tight! I’m sure they’re working on it.

thank you

This is so cool I love HBO and my cable company will not let me have just HBO without 18 other channels I do not want
- Bigtony
  
  That’s exactly why I dropped cable. I didn’t feel like paying for channels I don’t want.
