That's on HBO Go, not sure if it's HD but I'm presuming it is. The only major show from recent years that's not on there is John from Cincinatti.

Will it have Carnivale? I didn't see it mentioned, but I wasn't sure if that's just because it's a more niche title. Is it on HBO GO in HD?
I hope you can still access HBO Go on Directv.

I pay for Prime, Netflix, HBO (through Dish), Rdio and Google Music Unlimited. In one fell swoop, Amazon has basically eliminated my need for everything else. Huge win for Amazon. They need to release non-Fire Android and iOS streaming apps, though. I ain't buying Amazon proprietary hardware to access these services.
I'm glad to see this happening. I have access to HBO GO, but the iPad app is ridiculously buggy.

So that's where the extra $20 is going. 
Awesome, awesome, awesome. At first, I was afraid it wasn't for Prime, that it was just for sale. But indeed, it's for Prime and I am there.

Good for Amazon but I'm not gonna join Prime until they stop being assholes about who gets to watch on their TV and phones/tablets.
Luckily this deal doesn't affect me since I have HBO Nordic which has current shows as well.

Missing Six Feet Under S3, prob an oversight.
In Treatment is fantastic, I've seen S1 and S2, haven't finished 3.

I'm looking through Amazon Prime right now and I'll probably want to start rewatching some shows until later today. One thing I wish was that From The Earth To The Moon was apart of the HBO deal.

Anyone know why there's no "Arliss"? I wasn't expecting it on Amazon since it's not on HBO GO but it's exclusion seems odd to me. One of the best sitcoms HBO had. IIRC, there isn't a complete dvd set either, only "best of" collections.

I think ESPN currently owns some kind of syndication rights for it which prevents it from being streamed for the time being. Similarly I don't think HBO owns From The Earth to the Moon.

Does anyone know if the Larry Sanders Show is part of this deal? I don't think that's on HBO Go either. It was on Netflix for a while, but seems to be gone.

This only benefits people who don't subscribe to HBO. It provides nothing more than HBO Go and unlike that service, won't even stream to an Android phone or non-Kindle Android tablet.

I have HBO and HBO Go so I have no use for this. This really only benefits those with no cable and or no HBO. My sister is cable-less, but has Prime, so she will probably use this. She's never really watched any HBO programming.

Re: Amazon to get Exclusive rights to HBO VOD catalog.
Not completely true. I have HBO, but I can only watch HBO Go in my basement where I have the PS3. I can't watch on the big screen in my living room because neither my tv nor my BD player have HBO Go channels. They do support Amazon Prime though. Admittedly mine is a very specific situation, but nonetheless I am excited.

Re: Amazon to get Exclusive rights to HBO VOD catalog.
This is good for people like me who have the new Amazon Fire TV device (it does not yet support HBO go).
