anyone go to the late night section? :)

:lol: I "glanced" through all the sections on the app. Once I get caught up on all the shows I've missed (and have made Verizon hate me with data usage), then maybe Ill check out the late night offerings. :lol:

Hope you have parents or some relatives that have it and won't use it.

There's a Cinemax version now too...MaxGo.

I can't believe that Time Warner is not amongst the participating cable companies! How much bigger do you have to be? Never heard of some of the others that were listed.

Not sure if it's a glitch, but I downloaded the MaxGo app on my Droid X, and logged in using my directv account just to see if I could (I don't have a subscription to Cinemax), and am able to watch content on there. I'm guessing because it's owned by HBO?

Probably a glitch. You need a subscription to Cinemax to access it. Enjoy it while it lasts. Hell, you can now watch Strike Back and all the softcore porn movies/shows your heart desires. :D

Might be due to how "cheap" TWC can be. I remember them sending us letters saying that they didn't believe that they were going to be able to afford to pay Fox for programming any longer. Poor Time Warner! :lol:

Doesn't Time Warner own HBO? Seems like that makes it even more confusing.

HBO Go coming to home consoles


The battle for your eyeballs and leisure time is heating up on home consoles, as HBO has revealed plans to bring its all-you-can-watch HBO Go streaming service to connected TVs and video game systems.
Originally released as a browser-based extension of HBO's programming back in 2010 – and later as a mobile app for the iPhone, iPad and Android devices – HBO Go TV Everywhere allows paying HBO subscribers access every last morsel of HBO content online or on-the-go. CEO Jeff Bewkes announced HBO's plans to port the service to home consoles during an earnings call this morning, saying the entertainment company was inspired to offer HBO Go to non-mobile devices for the first time ever by the success of its iPhone/Android app, which has been downloaded more than 4 million times.

Bewkes did not offer a timeline as to when console owners can expect HBO Go, or if the service will finally be available to Canadians. When it does arrive, however, it will likely appear on PS3 and Xbox 360 dashboards similar to that of existing streaming content services like Netflix and Hulu Plus. A full breakdown of HBO Go in its current form can be read at the HBO site. Unless you're Canadian, in which case (again), you're not invited to the party.

Took your advice and watched both episode at work today. Pretty good so far, up until the end of the 2nd episode, it felt like I was just watching a regular movie.

You mean the twist/cliffhanger? I thought it was cool. I don't want to talk about it in detail since it hasn't officially aired on TV yet, but it was very 24-like, though it was predictable.

As for the topic of this thread, the sooner HBOGo gets on my Xbox 360, the better. I would also love Maxgo as well. :D

I hope when they bring it to the Consoles that they offer it as a separate plan. I'd rather pay $10 a month to use it on my PS3/Android instead of having to add it on to my cable bill (which I'm planning on ditching next year).

I don't think that's going to happen. Most likely your going to have to sign in using Directv or whoever your TV provider is to authenticate your account like how you do on the web.

I have Hulu Plus and that's how they do it for the 360, you sign in on the console with your user name and password.

Time Warner finally gets HBO GO:


Time Warner Cable customers who subscribe to HBO or Cinemax will soon get to use HBO GO and MAX GO, the premium cable networks’ instant-streaming services.

TWC announced the deal Friday night, saying subscribers will be able to access movies, documentaries, original series and more on any computer, iPad or other mobile devices.

On HBO GO, viewers will have access to 1,400 titles such as Game of Thrones, True Blood, Boardwalk Empire, The Sopranos Sex and the City and Deadwood. They’ll also get to watch HBO original films, miniseries, sports, documentaries, specials and blockbuster theatricals. MAX GO offers 400 titles including movies, indies, cult favorites, the MAX After Dark series and primetime series.

Most new content uploads to both services as the content premieres on the networks. Viewers also will get the “Watchlist” that keeps track of bookmarked content for later viewing; bonus content including interviews, recaps and behind-the-scenes extras; and customizable views showing titles in slideshow, grid or list format.

Once the services launch, Time Warner Cable customers can access them at HBOGO.com or MAXGO.com using their TWC usernames and passwords.

I'm dying for the console version. I wonder when that will be announced.

I think the Xbox 360 will get HBO Go early next year. But I haven't heard a peep about the PS3. :(

I'm wondering if some cable companies will block HBOGo on the consoles. Comcast and DirecTV don't support it on the Roku.

Re: HBO Go
 
Of course they will. It's simple. You're supposed to have HBO proper to have Go. Therefore you have HBO and HBO On Demand on the main tv. They don't want you to have HBOGo on anything but the teeny tiny screen of phones and tablets. You're dealing with dinosaurs.

Re: HBO Go
 
I'm not sure.

You can only get HBO from cable or the dish companies, I'm sure HBO won't create an Xbox app that's not supported by anyone. Will all the providers support it initially? Of course not, but I can see DirecTV and even Comcast doing it.

pinata242 12-20-11 09:24 PM

Re: HBO Go
 
You're not paying attention. We are talking about companies that have already blocked Go on Roku devices. I never claimed every company would block it. As long as Cox does, I'm golden and the rest of you can suck it ;)

Raul3 12-20-11 09:36 PM

Re: HBO Go
 
I think Roku's solution was a hack. I don't think they negotiated with everyone.

Hope for everyone you're right and I'm just a conspiracy theorist.
