HBO Max serves as a one-stop streaming service where subscribers can access an array of fresh and familiar content that is sure to entertain, educate, and enlighten. As its slogan “Where HBO meets so much more” suggests, HBO Max represents the merging of HBO’s famously high-caliber content with a larger library of binge-worthy offerings for all ages. Those who subscribe to HBO Max can watch HBO’s vast library of quality content. Additionally, HBO Max, in partnership with WarnerMedia, offers exclusive access to films and television series that cannot be found on the HBO app or other competitive streaming services like Netflix. For example, HBO Max is the only place that you can watch shows like Raised By Wolves.
Those who wish to subscribe to HBO Max can go to the streaming service’s website and make an account. For many HBO subscribers, access to HBO Max may be included in your plan at no additional cost. It is also possible to subscribe to HBO Max through Hulu, AT&T TV Now, YouTube TV, Apple, and Google Play.
An HBO Max subscription is $14.99 a month. Compared to other streaming services, HBO Max may seem pricey.

What About HBO Now & HBO Go?
Up until the summer of 2020, the apps HBO Now and Go both offered access to HBO’s library of TV series, movies, and documentaries.
After the debut of HBO’s comprehensive new streaming service, HBO Max, HBO retired the HBO Go app. Those who wish to stream HBO’s library of content online without gaining access to the diverse offerings available through HBO Max can still subscribe to HBO Now under its new name— HBO. This app can be installed on an iPhone, iPad, or Android device.
With the HBO or HBO Max apps, anyone, anywhere can access streams of Watchmen, True Blood, The Plot Against America, True Detective, Girls, HBO Docs, the GOT prequel, House of the Dragon, and all of HBO’s other hit series. A subscription is only $15 per month.
Older HBO Shows are Streaming on Amazon Prime
If you’re an Amazon Prime member and you’re trying to watch an older HBO show like The Sopranos or Sex and the City stop what you’re doing and head over there now because older HBO shows stream free with a Prime subscription. You get a free month when you sign up so there’s really no excuse not to when you factor in the free shipping on Amazon stuff as well as the large streaming video library. Give it a try.

Other Ways to Live Stream HBO Content
“Free,” pirated streams of HBO shows and films are unauthorized and usually low resolution. They are more likely to get you in legal trouble or infect your computer with viruses than actually allow you to enjoy the show that you are trying to watch.
You don’t want to experience Game of Thrones or Boardwalk Empire on an unofficial, non-HD streaming site surrounded by crazy, russian-bride ads do you? What about John Oliver, Real Time with Bill Maher, Animals or Vice? You don’t want to taint that experience.
Give one of the legal, legit methods above a try instead of pirating HBO’s content.

Can I order the fight through the app
We are assuming you mean the Mayweather/Pacquiao fight? Sorry, but the answer is No.
How do I cancel my account?
You want to cancel your account to HBONow? I believe you should have your first month free. So, just don’t pay the $14.99 when the free month expires.
if you create a HBO Now account, can that info or account be transferred over to an HBO Go account so that i could watch hbo shows through my xbox? i do not have cable
No. HBOGo is exclusive to those who have HBO through a cable or satellite provider.
I have had an HBO subscription for 20+ years on a local
cable service (TDS). When I try to log on, it says TDS TV subscription does not include HBO. When I called, they said I don’t get HBO GO because I have cable. Should I, or should I not, have access to HBO GO free since I subscribe to HBO? And if so, how do I go about getting it.
I am obviously and clearly not tech savvy, but I can say this, you have to create a username and password with your cable provider first. Then when you go to HBOGo you need to look up your cable provider.
If you cannot find your provider in the listing then HBO does not support it., Never mind, I looked and TDS is listed! HBOGO will search TDS for your log-on information to verify that you are a subscriber. If all that fails call the 800 number for TDS to inquire further.
That’s the best I can offer.
Some cable companies are geared up for HBO Go and others arent unfortunately. This would be an issue with TDS.
Can you watch live (as it’s happening) boxing on HBO Now?
If you are talking PPV events the answer is surely no; If you are talking HBO BOXING and B.A.D. bouts I doubt that you can see those either. They are not offered on HBOGo so I doubt they are going to be on HBONow. At least not yet.
Wrong. Boxing is added to both HBO GO AND HBO NOW a few days after it airs. The only way to watch HBO nonPPV boxing is Sling TV
So you are telling me i cannot watch boxing the same day it airs? The reason i got it in the first place.
The question was about LIVE boxing. The answer is no.
You can get live boxing exclusively on HBO the minute it airs with no contract through Sling TV.
Other than that, you’re out of luck
Okay first I’m sorry if this has been asked already but I’m still a little confused. I own no Apple products but my kid does (more tech savvy than me). Can I watch current live GOT via my kids’ iPad (iTunes account) with out a cable subscription? I only pay for Direct TV for GOT so it kind of a waste the rest of the year to keep cable.
The Apple restriction is just for the signup. Once you sign up you can view from any browser. Apps for Android and other devices will be released later this year. We don’t know when yet.
I have a Vizio smart tv, and a Sony blue ray player with wi fi. Is this compatable with HBO go?
Yes, it should be.
It’s not clear why he said it should be. HBO GO is an app on your smartphone or other streaming devices, or via a website on your computer: hbogo.com. So if your Vizio doesn’t come with the HBO GO app–it likely doesn’t–then you can’t watch it directly. You can of course watch anything that you can connect to your TV. So your Vizio is compatible if you mean can you connect your laptop, or smartphone, or some other device to your it via HDMI. But that has nothing to do with your Vizio. You can’t play HBO GO on your BluRay player. It’s not on a BluRay! You can watch old Game of Thrones episodes on your BluRay player if you buy the series on BluRay discs. People should really clarify, especially if someone is crazy enough to buy something based on random Internet advice.
Question…can you watch PPV on hbo go?
No, we are sorry but HBO PPV events are not accessible on HBOGo or HBONow.
My family of like 5 all share the same password…haha maybe I should start selling it?
Go for it!
So the only way i can watch GOT on my xb1 is with a cable subscription
You can get Sling TV and pay for HBO ala cart via Sling. It’s still a monthly subscription but not cable.

Eventually there will be non-Apple apps for HBO Now.
I am traveling and am staying in a hotel that doesn’t have HBO! I have HBO Go, can I watch GOT tonight live? That’s all I care about right now.
Well, evidently the hotel room has WiFi so yes at 9:00pm ET get yourself settled in, put some coins in the vibrating bed, and sign in to HBOGo.
Read through the lines….make an educated decision
uhhh… now I am feeling lost…
People, I have a normal PC with internet… which one should I choose/install/purchase ????????
HBO NOW. The first 30 days are free then you are charged by a month-by-month basis for a $14.99 fee
I was not able to register without an apple device. So register by downloading the HBO NOW app on your apple device…then you can watch HBO NOW on your non apple PC.
Sign in page: https://order.hbonow.com/
So. Here’s the skinny. You have to register and sign up for HBONow on an apple device, iphone, ipad, mac. You have to have an itunes account and start your HBONow service from that device. BUT, once you’re signed up you can go to hbonow.com, signin and use any old PC provided it fits these parameters:
“You need a laptop or desktop computer running either Mac OS X version 10.6 or later, or Microsoft Windows Vista or later. In addition, you’ll need one of the following support browsers updated to at least the version shown:
Internet Explorer 10
Safari 7
Chrome 37
Firefox 31”

An open letter to HBO:
Dear HBO,
I would murder a family of four to purchase HBO-Go without buying cable. You are all I want. I know I’ve committed the cardinal sin of not owning any Apple products, but I beg that you find the will to forgive me. Can you please just let me pay a monthly fee to fucking watch Game of Thrones? Pick the price. You make it impossible to support the show without bending over for a d-bag cable provider.
With resentment and tears,
A GOT Fan
HBO NOW FURTHER EXPLAINED:
I just purchased HBO Now. (You can purchase the program by visiting their website from your computer or mobile device)
HBO NOW Sign up page: https://www.hbonow.com/
The first 30 days are included free, then there is a monthly charge of $14.99, (you can cancel at any time).
HBO
Now is great I just re-watched a couple of GoT Season 4 episodes and
I’m pumped for Season 5 tomorrow. You can watch all of HBOs content on
ANY computer, (Doesnt have to be by Apple- just sign into HBO NOW online
and you can begin watching). Or if your an Apple lover, then go ahead
and download the app on your Apple TV, iPhone 5 or iPhone 6 or iPhone 6
Plus and iPad. I also believe that there is compatibly for Xbox.
Though
there is one thing I’m confused about…how long is the wait till we
get GoT Season 5 Episode 1 on HBO NOW. I’m going to check back with HBO,
but I believe that it will be available the same day it’s available for
HBO Go. So you essentially just have to wait 1 extra day.
Forgot to mention that inorder to register through HBO NOW you must have an apple device. Then after registering you can access HBO NOW via web on any computer
Well hot damn you’re right. I am now a HBONow subscriber, thanks to a friend who doesn’t mind me using their itunes account. At long last, I can support the show without paying cable premiums. Thank you so much for the tip!
I am a bit perplexed how hard this is. So HBONow can only be watched through Apple TV and the app on the iPad. So how can I watch HBONow on my iPad when I travel, if my husband set it up on his computer, through his ITunes. How can I watch on my iPad without signing in on his account and deleting my iTunes account and all the data? I should be able to watch on the HBONow website by signing in with email and password. It should not be tied to one computer only. It should be for the whole family. Is it, or not, am I missing something here???
Elle I was easily able to sign on to two separate computers for the HBO NOW via web. HBO NOW is not tied to indivudal computers. His login information may be stored onto his computer which are cookies, but besides for that NO, there are no ties. Thank The Lord!
HBO Now is available by Apple Products, computers, and I believe the Xbox.
For iTunes, I don’t believe that you will lose all your data if you sign out. Though I may be mistaken and by data I assume your speaking of music streamed over the air, without the need of downloading it on your device.
I always sign in and out of accounts in my family…no issues there.
Also I forgot to mention that ITunes does not play a role when you are signing into HBO NOW via web.
I’m currently signed into HBO NOW with my Windows Computer :)
My mistake you must register through an Apple device, then after registering you can access HBO NOW anywhere
I have HBO NOW and I want to watch GoT on Sunday. Will I be able to see it live, or will there be a delay?
I believe that it will be scheduled to be aired the same time as HBO GO. So yes there is a 1 day wait.
I may be wrong though with the 1 day wait. SO HYPED FOR SEASON 5!
Live in Mexico. Says it works in Mexico. Let me sign up. Will not load any program. All I get are feed error messages.
Try to wipe your cookies and browsing data clean on your computer. It may help. If not, then contact HBO via Phone
I must be the only person who finds that HBO NOW is a tech disaster. Went to iTunes; downloaded the app; clicked on the app to register; nothing. Repeat 27 times. Look everywhere for answers, no help. Apple says will contact me within 48 hours by email. I’ve deleted the app, re-downloaded it, gone to HBO now’s site, spent hours on iTunes – this is ridiculous and not well thought out at all!!!! No screen ever appears on which I CAN register.
same experience. ridiculous. And also running through iTunes it is impossible to share in family…
I registered simply by typing in HBO NOW on my iPhone 5s. I clicked free trial, gave them my email, scanned my thumb and DONE in under 30 seconds! No need to download it from your computer. Just do it directly off of your phone…or do it online. Worst case scenario- Contact HBO and sign up by phone
hello do u know how can i watch HBO GO for free in Europe??
That’s called Pirating mate ;)
Will I be able to watch live TV on HBOgo? Example: This Sunday at 9pm is the new Game of Thrones. Can I watch it live on the app as its being shown on TV HBO?
No there is a wait. HBO has not yet announced the arrival. What is aired on TV is not on HBO GO, we may have to wait a day or so
I am not happy that it was offered through Apple devices only. Apple sucks. They should have opened HBO Now through all devices. Android is best!
IT’S NOT! You can sign up from your computer and watch HBO on ANY computer. I’m Currently watching GoT on my Fujitsu :)
My mistake, you must register through an Apple device…Then you can access HBO NOW on any non apple computer without ITunes
You can also pay for HBO ala cart through SlingTV. And the Apple exclusivity will only be for 3 months then it will head over to the more common avenues such as Roku.
HBO on the go but not in Ecuador???
We are sorry, but we have no clue on how HBO plays in the rest of the Americas.
VPN
we watch HBO in Ecuador and are very pissed off because we no longer receive Real Time, this is our highlight of the week,
Is wifi required to watch on mobile devices or can one use their data plane via their mobile phone provider?
And also to answer your question about HBOGO, it only works if you have subscription with a cable provider in US…
I am in India and would like to update my apple tv to US as well. How do you change the DNS setting that you seem to have done successfully?
I have comcast. I also have chromecast and roku it says comcast does not allow it. Do you know if this will change. Should I drop hbo on comcast and Get it on iPad with the new service.
Will HBO go continue after the launch of HBO now or will HBO start charging for online streaming completely.
yes, it will still be available for those who will get HBO through their provider.
Anyone know why chapter 2 of The Jinx is not on demand?
What is going in with HBO Go and XBox? The HBO Go app has not been working for more than 5 days.
Is it possible to pay for the HBO now service? I don’t own apple products, but be able to access content from the HBO go app from my ps4?
It says you can watch LIVE but I haven’t found out how. I can sign on and watch anything that has been aired but can’t find the “button” to watch anything live. Every time I google it, I can redirected here.
Did you find it? I am looking too! I used to be able to enter my email address and choose my service provider but now I can’t find where to sign in.
Can we help you with something?
Yes. Using HBO Go, how do you watch a show LIVE? I mean if a new episode broadcasts for the first time at, say, 9pm on Sunday, how do I watch it at that exact time?
To clarify there is no live feed of the channel on the site.
When a show debuts Sunday at 9pm on HBO it will also become accessible on HBOGo, You will not see the show airing on the site, but you must select the streamed content. The most current content appears in the Dashboard across the bottom of the screen. Just login and select the show you want.
Trying to understand this. On Sunday at 9pm when HBO is airing Game of Thrones will I be able to watch it on HBOgo at the same time or is there a waiting period before that new episode is offered on HBOgo?
There is no wait.
I just got HBO NOW via my iPhone. I don’t know much about HBO, but I am a Silicon Valley fan. The 2nd season premiers Sunday April 2nd @ 10pm. Is there any way to watch the new episodes as they premiere on HBO NOW?
I hope this isn’t the question you were just asked, because the question you were just asked pertained to HBO GO, and one of the reasons I decided to try HBO NOW was because I was told/saw you could stream shows live.
My second and final question is if we are unable to view the shows live as they debut, how soon AFTER they debut are they made available to HBO NOW subscribers?
Please and thank you.
Unfortunately, I do not have HBONow, but I am told it is very similar to HBOGo. If that is the case then there is no wait.
watch episodes in HD at http://watchseries24.eu
So, just to be clear; there’s no way to stream HBO online without getting the stupid cable subscription? If not, HBO needs to get their shit together. Until then, I’ll just continue pirating all their shows.
Sling televison
Sling, Sling and for the last time, Sling!
Uh ruh?
Ruh ruh!
Uh row! Row ooooooo!!
Cool story bro, doesn’t answer my question though
In other words what the fuck is Sling. I know I could google it. But that would take 5 – 6 seconds I just can’t spare right now.
Sling is a service where you pay a monthly fee and in return you can stream a shit ton of live channels including HBO and you can cancel anytime you like.
Wait… What important thing were you doing in 5 seconds that you couldn’t do later?
Just wondering as all.
Ok, finally looked into this. Couldn’t find anything called Sling. Found something called Slingbox (is that what you’re referring to?). But you have to buy some stupid box. I already have Netflix and don’t want another service or another gismo. I just want to pay to stream that one show once.
Yeah, i think you have to get a Roku or other streaming device in order to use it, I’m not too sure about it myself. There’s HBO Now but I think you need an Apple device or Android device to use it though.
I do agree though, HBO need to wake up and stop playing hard to get with their content otherwise they’ll just lose money in the long run, their current marketing strategy just doesn’t make any sense.
I have Mediacom cable. I go to San Francisco often for medical and I have to stay over night there. The cable reception in the rooms suck. Would love to be able to watch HBO.
As long as the hospital has Wi-Fi, you can log into HBO Go using your Mediacom login on your phone or tablet and watch your shows there
I have hbo with my cable package and I have chromecast, how can have streaming only?
Yes, As Previous Commenter Asked – PLEASE Make HBO Go Available For VIZIO Smart TVs…..
Chromecast
Can you please make hbo go available for VIZIO tv’s?
Chromecast
does anyone know if you can do parental controls for hbo go?
Yes, you can. Once you sign in and see your screen name look to its right and you will see Settings. Click that to take you to the Parental Control options.
Once there it will ask you what content you want to control and asks you to create a Pin # to lock in those parameters.
Thank you Jef
I have another question
Im concerned about late night content. Does parental control let me control certain hours he could watch. I only want him to be able to watch certain shows. Will parental controls
allow that option?
The online site HBOGo allows you to choose to block all TV-MA, content and NC- 17 rated movies. That is the only way to control it. It is by ratings only.
im having the same problem. did you find a solution?
Tried downloading HBO go on my phone and when the app is opens it shows just the latest episodes, no search bar, and no way to search for previous seasons. Any suggestions?
HBO please, let the people choose where they can get HBO from. True market fairness. Quit being subjected to the bullying by cable and satellite companies.
Our cable company has several HO channels but HBO Go isn’t one of them. If I subscribe to HBO, can we access HBO Go on our Amazon Fire streaming video box?
get on the web anyway you can and type in http://www.hbogo.com; from there you need to verify which cable company you get HBO through and you are set. Sometime later this year you will not need a cable subscription to get the streaming service, but pay for it outright.
Can anyone help
Facebook on TV? Uh, if you have a game console that you can access the internet through you could have your page pop up I guess.
How do I get facebook on tv
Have you tried turning it off and on again?
Does anyone know how to sign up for an HBO guest account>
Huh?
I don”t understanding .What you expect of a series”Game of thr..” .each episode One year? my dad likes it and he has no more time because of cancer. We are in Iran. Could u pls tell him how long have to be alive to see that.If something happen to him I’ll send another message to you….Thanks
There is absolutely no Windows Phone 8 support at all. WtF!!! Come on. My Nokia 1520 has probably the best screen for its size on the market.
Also no Vizio TV app either.
Travis are you able to goto hbogo.com and stream the shows? I am looking to get the htc m8 windows phone.
Abandon that sinking ship immediately and get an iPhone or Android phone. Seriously man, you owe it to yourself.
At least you’re not using a Blackberry i suppose…
and as for the Vizio problem, Chromecast.
HBO go is supposed to work anywhere, but I can’t access it while I am abroad.
Get a VPN mate.
Seriously man, I use it all the time when I’m visiting relatives in Spain and the UK. I would definitely recommend it.
Very dispointed…..just got HBO, found out we can get HBO go, so got it on my tablet. Went to add it to my smart tv, no such app, we have a Vizio, ok we will add it to the blueray, no such luck, its a older Sony, we get what they give us!!! HBO go anywhere…….not really!
all you have to do is buy the chromecast device from walmart or bestbuy.plug it in to your tvs hdmi port and it will stream hbogo from the command of your android
Just think of the back catalog for this http://www.vunify.com/networks/hbo-shows-to-binge-watch.
I have HBO through Cablemas in Mexico. Is there a way for me to stream HBO go on my laptop?
When you go to register on HBOGo.com you will be given a list of cable providers. If Cablemas is supported you will be able to get the service, but only after you register on Cablemas as well.
i am living in Sweden and updated my apple tv to US by changing DNS ,i can get hbo go on apple tv but it needs for activation and when i go to hbo go website there it ask me to mention the tv provider ,which i cant do as that’s only for US viewers.so is there any other way around to get activation of hbo go? please help me
I bought HBO through Charter Cable, but the signal isn’t strong enough here at the condo. How do I get HBO to Go on my computer?
First, if you haven’t already, create an account on Charter’s website.
Next go to HBOGo and register. That site will ask you to check which TV provider you get HBO through and you type in the login info for Charter.
Once it is verified that you are an HBO subscriber through Charter you will be able to stream the HBO content.
Thanks Jef….I will try this.
I don’t want cable. I just want to watch HBO on my laptop, like I do with Hulu Plus, Netflix, Amazon Instant, and Google Play. I want to give you my money so I can watch The Newsroom Season 2. Why won’t you take my money? This seems like a bad business model to me…
they would rather pay to have you switch the there services than pay for a single show. they know the demand is there, there just going to wait you out….
Why isn’t this available for Windows phone?
Because nobody in the entire world uses that junk.
Abandon that sinking ship immediately and get an iPhone or Android phone. Seriously man, you owe it to yourself.
At least you’re not using a Blackberry i suppose…
Is Real Time – Overtime available on iPad? It works on pc laptop, but doesn’t work on our iPad. Thanks for your help.
Hi Denise,
No
~Ben
someone told me you can get HBO Go through Apple TV without having a cable subscription. is this true?
HBO Now is your answer
It is too bad that it’s taking so long for HBO to make their service available directly, especially since they won’t sign deals with other providers such as netflix. We have one choice, HBO, which is frustrating on its own, but then even more irritating when they dangle the carrot by placing their logo on our other devices. That isn’t accidental.
What may be most impressive is that we still want the content, and blame the cable companies instead of HBO, when the latter is chiefly responsible for eroding our good will. Seriously folks, HBO is in the catbird’s seat, and they know they can take their time, because despite how angry we may be, we’ll all go running to them, once they condescend to let us pay them even more money.
On the slightly less cynical side, given the overwhelming feedback below, it’s only a matter of time before they go direct. We just have to be patient…something I for one am not good at. So, take heart folks. It will happen. In the meantime, this provides a good example of supply and demand…and human nature. We’ll take a licking and keep on paying.
It would be a brilliant idea to have a trusted group of people that you could share your log in info with and all pay a small fee together and save money but all enjoy the Perks of HBO GO!
I’ll be interested when you can get it online without the cable tv package.
ME TOO! how great will that be when HBO decides to ditch these vulture cable companies like dish and allow customers to exclusively pay for HBO only!
ME TOO! how great will that be when HBO decides to ditch these vulture cable companies like dish and allow customers to exclusively pay for HBO only!
Almost there.
I would pay for stand alone HBO just like Netflix, but I refuse to put my money in the greedy cable pockets for a load of crap I’ll never watch. Add my name to your petition hbo. Tc.
HBO needs to take in account a lot of us are ditching cable television. No one wants to spend a small car payment every month to watch rerun marathons of the same shows and movies. They should be expanding or they’ll die like the the rest.
I would pay for stand alone HBO just like Netflix, but I refuse to put my money in the greedy cable pockets for a load of crap I’ll never watch. Add my name to your petition hbo. Tc.
If we wanted to overpay for cable, we would have no reason for hbo-go.
Consider this me signing the petition to give you money as an individual subscriber. I would sooner sell all my electronics than deal with a cable company. Here’s hoping to the future where I can subscribe to your excellent programming.
ill gladly sign that petition!
I agree, death to cable companys!!!
So many people, so many devices,… so many possible subscriptions, that are all being lost due to people being forced to have a cable subscription, its 2014 folks, no one gives a #$@! about whats on cable if they have a working brain in their head, its awful, and shouldn’t even be considered television.
Stand up for better programming HBO and truly GO independent, seriously, please.
How stupid, HBO would have SO MANY more subscribers if they just let you sub without needing a cable service. HBO is the only TV worth paying for anymore, I WILL NOT be paying comcast or at&t to for 1,000+ useless channels. Say its the cable company’s fault if you want but HBO is its own entity, and its time it starts behaving as such. With shows like Deadwood, Sopranos, Game of Thrones, and so many more, I would gladly give them my hard earned $$ for their quality programming.
However the cable companies can keep their 24 hr news, and reality t.v and go suck an egg. I will NEVER pay for such mind numbing garbage even if it means I have to find other ways to watch my favorite shows, like waiting till they come out on dvd, and even then pay $49-$99 a season for shows like The Sopranos. :-(
So I can’t watch hbo go on Roku without having cable ?
unfortunately not. The cable networks have everyone by the balls pretty much. The all suck. They all charge WAY too much for what you get, and they all have piss poor customer service. The they suck in you in with a “promo” for 2 years after which they jack your rates up for no reason. All they are doing is running a signal to your house. The lines are already there. the cables are already there. So why do they charge so much money? One of the unexplained mysteries of the world. They make millions of dollars per year just based on even the smallest of consumer investment. 1 family paying $89/month for 1 year (actually more like $105 with all of the BS fees). which equates to $1260/year. Now multiply that by 1000s of people who dish out this waste of an expenditure and the number jumps exponentially. They make a killing and DO NOTHING but reap the rewards. If you look back and calculate how much one has spent over a lifetime it’s insane – based on the above figure that would be $12K for 10 years. #endcablecompanies
“1 family paying $89/month for 1 year (actually more like $105 with all of the BS fees). which equates to $1260/year” Which is exactly why I generally consider paying for television one of the best ways to waste your money, because when you consider what shows those folks are actually paying for, its astonishing.
racism qhy only Americans can watch HBO online : @

How many devices can I use with my HBO subscription ?
Not sure what you mean but the answer is.. unlimited as far as I know. Use HBOGo anywhere on any number of devices. Now if you’re thinking about sharing your login in a forum or something… that might be stretching it to the limit… I’d avoid that :)
So I have to be subscribed to a cable provider, if I want to be subscribed to HBO, which is pointless if I’m watching television through a device, and not cable…
whats the point of online streaming if i cant access it in India…of no use…

U foools!!… go use the website ..tubeplus.me…..it has EVERYTHING for free…without virus or FORCE U to download…..why r u still reading…go on the website right now!
what is the definition of free ?
You can watch any show after it has broadcasted.
Free: without cost or payment.
dam near everyone HATE ;those greedy cable companies (dish, direct, cox, comcast, and all others. And since hbo haven’t broken away from them yet, gives me the impression their in bed with them some sort of way. U got everyone telling u their willing pay separate for years and no change. I bet it change once everyone drop cable all together, they can’t make it without viewers!
You keep saying “free” but an HBO subscription is required, which means you are either brainlessly thumping the HBO press release drum or are unaware of the meaning of the word “free”. No, I do not expect HBO content for (actual) free, I just expect you to stop spouting inaccurate nonsense.
Says Chomecast instead of Chromecast. Hire me, and I will do a lot more for HBO than just notice online typographical errors.
We do have a writing staff if you’re interested :)
Fixed, thanks.
Unlimited devices. But only 3 logged n at a time. So 3 basically
This is so dumb to think finally I could watch movies that use to be on Netflix, when Sony backed out, I would have to subscribe to cable, f that! bring on streaming with internet access like Netflix.
We hate Time Warners guts. Its garbage! We want them to die painfully. Come with us or die HBO.You have no choice. Netflix an Hulu are here.
You do realize that HBO is part of Time Warner, right?
Doesn’t matter. They will run separately or die.

Ex Time Warner installer here, can confirm

Please, I dont have cable…I would pay $50 a month for HBO to Go. Juust offer it!!!!
You could probably sign up for a very basic cable and add HBO for close to that cost.
can someone please tell me the name of the soundtrack of “tonight on HBO”

I want to pay HBO for streaming like I do with netflix. I don’t want cable. Come on HBO, make it happen
I noticed on HBO Go that the cable subscribers include The University of Washington (UW) and Harvard University. Apparently, anyone with a student id can get a netid account and use that to log into HBO GO. UW staff and alumni (basically anyone who ever took a course at UW) all have permanent netid codes. I would be curious to see if anyone with a netid number can log into HBO Go. Has anyone out there tried?
I’ve been trying to watch hbo on att uverse and on hbogo but keep getting the message: missing registration token? Any ideas what is wrong, Att has not been able to solve and I’ve called every day for 5 days now!!!
I have AT&T UVerse and I’m able to access HBO GO on my laptop, iPhone and Samsung TV. The login info should be the same as what you use to access your Uverse account. After there it was pretty simple and straight forward.
what is the fee for hbogo on the ps3 can anyone tell me
Yes
I have the HBO GO app on my samsung smart TV in my college dorm room. But the problem is I don’t know exactly who the cable provider is? Any help?
You have to subscribe to hbo to get hbo go
Can I buy hbogo without having hbo cable service?
not at this point in time.
not at this point in time.
I have HBO how can I get HBO GO if my provider doesn’t have it?
I’m having problems with HBOGO, it loads but a blank screen with a message of “Compatibility View: websites designed for older browsers will often look better, and problems such as out of place menus, images or text will be corrected” What does this mean and how do I correct this ?
DMD
I have roku and i also have comcast cable and pay for hbo. Does anyone know why comcast is listed as the available networks?
I have Roku. I have 2 t.v’s with 2 separate roku units. Do I have to pay twice to have HBO on both TV’s?
Nope…just need 1 subscription to HBO
Is there a search feature on HBO GO Android or am I just not seeing it?
I’m having the same issue
Please clarify for me…can you “download” a show or series to watch at a later time when you don’t have an internet connection, or must you always be connected to the internet in order to “watch” any of the shows? I think the word “download” is being misused. Thanks
you have to be streaming. you can not save it to your computer.
Have you looked into making it for The samsung blu ray player that is a streamer and or the Neo Gear.
when is hob go going to include Canada?? why didn’t they include us?
You have good beer, hockey, bacon, and a negligible crime rate. You can’t just have everything, eh?
Does hbogo stream live online!?
I’m having problems with hbogo BUFFERING. One TV is ok and the other constantly buffers. What is causing this and what can I do to stop this,?
We’re not official tech support or anything but… I’ve had this problem with Netflix as well on some devices. Depends on if you’re using an app or browser.. some apps are just better than others it seems like. Also is one TV wired and one wireless? Lots of variables. Sorry I couldn’t help more!
Really, I can watch HBO to go if I have Comcast cable..what if I pay Direct TV for my Satalite and Comcast for my cable? Can I still get HBO on my laptop or r they going to screw me twice again?
Should make that clear HBO and Show X come by the Satellite.
Not sure I understand this one. I have Comcast and use HBOGo all the time. Direct TV, I’ve heard also allows HBOGo. You should contact your cable provider about getting a login.
how come FIOS is listed as a server site
Added FIOS, thanks.
I’ve had HBO for 10 years (at this address) and longer before moving here. I currently have COX cable and want to know if I can catch up to “Game of Thrones”, so I can watch it later. Right now I’m only watching Maher and a few docs per year at $15/month. I really want to keep HBO, but if I can’t watch your programming (unless I start from the beginning..), let me know if there’s anything I can do. Thanks.
Added COX cable to the list of options. Pretty sure you can get it with COX. Give them a call and report back if it’s not true!
HBO when will you be releasing the Sopranos complete box set in Blu Ray? Please release it soon!
This is bs. You have given us no other choice but to pirate HBO! Shame on you!!!
We’ve updated this page with the latest on how to watch HBO online via HBO Go. Comcast recently released a new plan that allows you to watch HBO online without a cable plan.
hbo online available anywhere……….. except europe obviously
It’s a problem. Hoping for HBOGo to become available world-wide at some point.
Does anyone know anything about this little box we use to watch netflix movies pandora ect… Now we bought a new one that has hbo go on it so does that mean we have to pay for movies watched or a subscription
It’s probably a Roku. You need an HBOGo login that you can only order through a cable provider at this point. Good luck!
Here’s the thing. HBO is seen as the dinosaur of broadcasting companies because of your refusal to stream online without a cable subscription. Even PBS offers online viewing.
You have a few very good shows, but our generation isn’t keen on stationary devices and we have a short attention span. Give it to us streaming and give it to us now.
You can get the shows on iTunes and now Google Play. They come out a bit later but they’re all there- no subscription needed.
Google Play seems expensive!
I don’t have cable, I would subscribe to HBO if the service was available without Cable online.
You’re not alone. Hopefully HBO does this some day. For now you can find 40$ plans that include basic cable if that suits you. Or borrow someone elses (you didn’t hear that from me!)
Hello HBO!!! You have an awesome show that people want to watch. We will pay for it! You need to give us a real online option – I don’t want cable, I want HBO Game of Thrones. Thats it, I don’t watch any other TV show. Millions are like me, figure it out or loose out on a huge audience with money to offer for a really fantastic show. Let me know as soon as you figure it out.
I gave up my tv over thirty years ago and just recently was fed-up and gave up my cell phone.
Like my Mac and can watch PBS shows on line and even The Good Wife. I am sure there are many of us that don’t have cable. HBO needs to be an innovator and bring themselves and all of their other cable shows on line.
Thanks
wise, valerie!!!
I cannot wait for the day when I can simply subscribe to HBO without needing a provider or a package. I have not owned a TV since 2004…I know Im not alone. If they ever make this streamable online or through Apple TV I would gladly pay for it. Till then I will be watching for free. I bet they are losing hand over fist and don’t even know it.
If I had to make my own entertainment network, it would be just how you described it. Great minds think alike.
Right on man.
Agreed! I would happily pay for HBO online as I do Netflix and Hulu. I just refuse to sign up for a ridiculously expensive cable package with a multi year contract again.
You state that you can download a show and then watch it on a flight. I do not see that ability in the app for my iPad. If I am on a flight and need to use the wifi, there is no way it will stream the show. Any thoughts on this?
I am an HBO subscriber and was enjoying HBO GO on my android (Nexus 10) until it updated to a 4.3 operating system & the app is no longer compatible. This was months ago! I was assured that an updated app was coming…how long do you expect this will take? HBO really should have been on top of this already!
Understand the frustration. Really sucks. But they are aware of it and a fix is coming.
http://www.hbogo.com adresine giremiyorum. Yok birleşmiş milletler arasında olunacakmışş. Yani Türkiye’ nin birleşmiş milletlere girmemesini ta buraya kadar yansıttınız. Bi dizi izletmedinizz.

I am an HBO subscriber (in the US), but I am studying abroad in Chile. Is there way possible for me to gain access to HBOGO? I would really appreciate the help, especially since True Blood is becoming more amazing with each episode.
You will need a product like unblock-us. I use it to watch Netflix in Peru.
You can use a vpn .Get hotspot shield on appstore .
Is it available in Italy while traveling?
HBO doesn’t seem to be available in South Africa? True?

Do you think you might ever do a deal with netflix? I just cut out cable – don’t need 750 channels – and a limited subscription to HBO would be great.
No cable for me. If HBO GO becomes available without a cable / satellite hookup, let me know. For now, I will get by without it.
We pay for HBO via our cable provider, Entouch. Since Entouch does not offer HBOGO we can not use the service.
I have asked Entouch several times when are they going to offer HBOGO. They always said “we are in negotiations.” I asked again during a service call recenty and was told “never”
Bummer, I was really looking forward to using HBOGO at some point.

This is incredibly deceptive. I clicked the above banner for a free trial, and they sent me Crankplay which demanded a credit card. Oh, no HBO GO either, just old games. So much for bait and switch… it’s alive and well.
That’s because the banner is a third-party advertisement, not something posted by HBO.
Episode 6 of the current seaso of GOT will not play!!!! Grrr
Amazon Prime(Prime Instant Video) is only available to US customers!
lame. I don’t want to filter my viewing content through a useless cable provider. They are completely unnecessary these days.
try http://www.wrzko.eu all is free
No it’s not easy! I can’t even access it because I’m from Canada! And 25$ per month is a bit much when you only want to watch a few shows…
I only want to watch game of thrones! Does HBO have any offer that allowes me to watch for the coming 2 months?
Fray will kill robb stark!yeah honey cryyyyyyyyyyyyyy
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
Agreed. I would buy this in a second if they offered it directly. Unfortunately, they want to extort money from us through a third-party provider… so it’s off to pirate bay. Sorry HBO, you’ve given us no choice.
i wont torrent because i actually do want to support the producers of this show, but it looks like an amazing show and im frustrated they are FORCING people to torrent, i have cable but im not the person who pays the bill on it so i cant get hbo, if they offered hbo to anyone for a price i would happily pay it. i guess ill buy the dvds in a year or two
The owner of HBO is a liberal pos so do not feel bad.
Hi, just wondering if this is available in Malaysia? I subscribe to HBO through the Astro satellite dish network. Thanks!
If you are an HBOGO subscriber will I be able to watch new episodes of shows that same day as release, for example GoT Season 3 March 31st???
Yep.
Actually you’ll get it EARLY if you’re on the west coast. All episodes of major series’ are released instantly on HBOGo as they air EST.

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…
I’m thinking about doing the comcast digital plus for $70 a month with an extra $10 a month for the hd convertor. It comes with internet, hbo, streampixonline, and local channels. I’d probably get either the hd homerun prime which takes a cable card and lets you record up to 3 channels at once, but you need a win 7 computer with windows media center to record the shows, or tivo roamio which doesn’t require a computer but is $15 a month with a one year contract. If you get the cheapest one you can just hook it up to an ota antenna and get better reception than cable for $15 a month. Still deciding whether I want to give comcast an extra $25 a month. I’ve been a cord cutter for over a year now and haven’t missed it with an apple tv, and a roku with netflix, amazon prime, and hulu+. I will never pay for an outrageously over priced cable package again. I was paying comcast $250 a month for everything, and reduced it to $66 a month for internet, and phone only. It just wasn’t worth what they were asking.
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.
Won’t happen until there is a critical mass of cord cutters. They have no intention of giving up the cable/hbo cash cow until they are forced to. Hbo is owned by time warner, and they want you to pay for their outrageously overpriced cable package just to get hbo. They will have to be financially forced through lost revenue from cord cutters to make this change. Unfortunately while there are more, and more people cutting the cord, there are nowhere enough to force them into the ala carte that we all want. In the meantime netflix is making some great original series, and itunes works for game of thrones.
can you download hbo go on your laptop? how?
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.
I pay $35 a month for internet and pay only that to watch tv -I assume you pay for your internet connection to connect to netflix, amazon, hulu ect. on top of what you pay to watch tv/movies.I can watch any movie, tv episode or any music/episodes all from my computer hooked to my tv for free. No need to pay netflix, amazon or anyone to watch tv, all you need is to pay for an internet connection and know the sites to go to. It’s taken me years to find the best free tv episodes/movie sites & players that are compatible with my computer but its been worth the while.=)
And what site may they be please???????????????? :)
he illegally downloads them.
No, there are many popular streaming sites: But a fair warning! They are dipped in infectious ads (more than porn). Before you visit those sites, download the Adblock and WOT extensions for Chrome. As a added measure of safety, download Sandboxie and open your browser in it.
Stream sites I use for HD content is Movie4k.to and WatchFreeMovies.ch. Use the links to PutLocker or SockShare. YOU’RE WELCOME! Thumbs up please!
What a pity! HBO your losing out on a lot of online customers. Shame your still in the dark ages. Get with it already.

HBO Now, my good man!
Does. Not work for me because wave broadband is not a part of HBOGo
Ugh, yeah Damon. Hopefully it gets 100% coverage soon.
i download to watch Game of Thrones..my country HBO sucks(Malaysia)…they censored too much especially the naked and sex scene where scripts content till i don’t know what’s the story line was..WTF Malaysia..
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
That’s exactly why I dropped cable. I didn’t feel like paying for channels I don’t want.
How many of you use HBO Go to watch HBO online?
Cable television is dead bro… HBO better start thinking about offering their subscription for the large amount of us going Zero TV. No one wants to pay a small car payment each month to watch mega reruns of the same shows and movies over and over.
Hi. I don’t own a TV (no one I know does), I stream Netflix and watch shows online. I don’t have cable. HBO should just let viewers purchase single episodes (at iTunes prices, not more!) – they would please many viewers and have way more customers! Or let us buy a streaming deal (like 1 month for $18 or something). UGH. I want to watch the new season of Girls and not wait for it to get on Netflix!
