I don't see Time Warner on either the Roku or Samsung list, so temper your PS3/360 expectations for enjoying it on the big tv :(

Even those are equal. DirecTV is on the Samsung, but not the Roku.

Re: HBO Go
 

Am I missing something? Why is everyone happy to get it on the Roku, PS3, 360 or their TV app? Cant you just watch it through the cable box? You have to be a paying member of HBO to watch it..

Re: HBO Go
 

HBOGo is a much better version of HBO On Demand. If you have HBO, check out the differences yourself.

Re: HBO Go
 

Comcast On Demand doesn't have the (nearly) full catalog of HBO material that HBO Go has here, just the more recent stuff.

Re: HBO Go
 

I commute on the train, I can watch hbo go on my iphone

Re: HBO Go
 

Entire hbo library is on hbo go I believe

Re: HBO Go
 

He obviously understood that because he was asking specifically about main displays in the house ;)

Re: HBO Go
 

Got it now... Full library makes sense.

Re: HBO Go
 

No, but it's close. There was one older series they weren't carrying, but I can't remember the name now. There may be others as well...HBO has been around for a while. :)

I just read Comcast and Time Warner is blocking HBO GO on the new Sammy TVs (in addition to all the other devices they block it on). Someone really needs to go to the FCC about this. I'm waiting to see if they block it when HBO GO comes to the XBox later this year.

Re: HBO Go
 

I feel like we've had this discussion before. Why would they allow it on the Xbox, PS3, AppleTV, etc if they've already blocked it twice on similar devices / delivery mechanisms?

Re: HBO Go
 

HBO GO coming for Xbox 360 on April 1st just in time for Game of Thrones Premiere.

Great news!

Re: HBO Go
 

Hopefully this means it'll come to the PS3 soon too.

Re: HBO Go
 

Apple TV 3 is about a week from being unveiled and released. I imagine it'll support apps too and I expect HBOGo to be ready at launch.

Re: HBO Go
 

Awesome, I haven't really used it because I don't want to watch shows on my computer or phone.

Re: HBO Go
 

Pretty much all of this.

Re: HBO Go
 

Nice! I was just thinking about this. I don't have the first half of season 2 of Boardwalk Empire recorded, and it's not available right now on demand. As Shady12 said, I don't really want to view it on my computer. I probably will, though ...

Re: HBO Go
 

Does the quality suck for anybody else on the HBO GO website?

Re: HBO Go
 

can't wait to see the entirety of The Wire through my XBOX!

Re: HBO Go
 

The user interface is absolutely awful, but I haven't had any problems with the quality of playback.

Re: HBO Go
 

Thought it was coming April 1st...BUT HBO GO FOR XBOX LIVE IS NOW AVAILABLE! Already got it downloaded and activated and working beautifully.. And I can confirm it DOES work if you have DirecTV! Woo hoo!!

Time to finally finish The Wire! I'd watched the first two seasons on DVD years ago and got sidetracked and realized it had been long enough to where I'd need to start over.

Re: HBO Go
 

Just tested HBO Go on the Xbox myself (DirectTV customer). This is truly excellent news!

Re: HBO Go
 

:thumbsup: Just activated it on my 360. Works great

Re: HBO Go
 

Comcast is not listed????

Re: HBO Go
 

They aren't participating. They have their own App, which has HBO content.

Re: HBO Go
 

so where can I find a cheap xbox gold membership?

Re: HBO Go
 

http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-LIVE-Mont...2873347&sr=8-1

$38.37 on Amazon.com. A little over $21 off regular price.

Re: HBO Go
 

thanks!

Re: HBO Go
 

Just installed the Xfinity app. Doesn't have a quarter of the stuff HBO Go does. Like it only has 3 episodes of The Wire. Total BS.

Re: HBO Go
 

Comcast subscribers can get HBO

Xfinity has far less HBO content than HBO Go does.

Or were we speaking only to the xbox360?

That would be wierd that comcast subscribers can access HBO GO on desktop/mobile devices, but not xbox.

Re: HBO Go
 

I've been looking up this online and here is what I've found. Comcast doesn't wand to support HBO Go on desktop boxes (hooked to your TV). Online or iPad is fine, but Roku and Xbox or not. Really Dumb. Plus the Max Go app for the iPad is not supported either.

Really making my think about switching to Direct TV.

Re: HBO Go
 

It's always funny to see people bitch when they know it affects them. Comcast users even without Roku boxes or Samsung TVs should have been bitching the whole time.

This shouldn't surprise anyone.

Re: HBO Go
 

That is balls.

Re: HBO Go
 

Is there HD content available on HBO Go for the 360? 5.1 sound?

Re: HBO Go
 

Yes. Yes.

Re: HBO Go
 

Yes!!!

Re: HBO Go
 

This is great news! I'm going to install it this week and start catching up with season 2 of Boardwalk Empire. :)

Re: HBO Go
 

I just played an ep of game of thrones and it really looked muddy and wasn't close to hd. Is this because my connection speed from verizon is shit?

Re: HBO Go
 

yes

Re: HBO Go
 

Oh well. Still can't wait to get into The Wire!

Re: HBO Go
 

Have to say that this will save me some money. Was all st to drop some cash on Game of Thrones season 1 but now I can watch it first and see if it's worth it.
