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

Just activated it on my 360. Works great

Comcast is not listed????

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

so where can I find a cheap xbox gold membership?

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

thanks!

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.

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.

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.

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.

That is balls.

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

Yes. Yes.

Yes!!!

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

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?

yes

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

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.

Definitely your internet connection. Content for me is usually HD but sometimes it drops for a minute or two.

Interestingly this app doesn't work on Roku for DirecTV subscribers. That's why I was so jazzed that it works on Xbox..was worried they'd block it there too since they did on Roku..which doesn't make any sense.

Just got this on Optimum cable in NJ and I can't believe how much content there is. Every season of True Blood & other HBO series, tons of movies, movie collections and a lot more.

I am very happy that HBO has kept their entire series on HBO Go. This was what sold me on reordering the channel after canceling. We can thank Netflix for that actually.

If they start being lame and only offer certain shows/episodes, I will have to reconsider, but so far, so good.

On a disappointing note, HBO has seemed to cut ties with the show Carnivale, which I was hoping to check out. Not available on HBO Go and not even mentioned on their website anymore. Had heard good things about the two seasons they had.

Nearly a year later after I created this thread and I still do not have access to HBO Go.

Anyone know if this will be able to stream form the ps3 anytime soon? I want to be able to watch all those shows on my tv. I guess its time to consider a xbox 360 or Roku.
