Re: HBO Go
I haven't check lately but I have been waiting for HBOGo to be added to the apps on my Vizio. I hate have to turn on my xbox to watch it on my TV.

Re: HBO Go
Since someone brought it up, what possible reason could HBO have to crop movies now here in 2013, when almost everyone watching is watching on a widescreen TV and doesn't seem like anyone hates 'the black bars' anymore? Even if they weren't cropped I probably wouldn't watch movies on HBO since it's only 720p anyway.

Why yes, yes I do. *looks down my nose at you*
I will occasionally watch one..I just don't need to since I can get anything in 1080p. If premium channel movies were 1080p(I know this isn't the fault of any particular channel) that would be another viable option right there with Netflix etc. They probably are 1080p on HBO Go but I only have access to the app via 720p Xbox anyway. I use it to watch their tv shows though!

Re: HBO Go
The XBox is perfectly capable of 1080/24f output but if your TV only supports 720p then that's the fault of the TV not the provider.

Re: HBO Go
We just got HBO last weekend for when 'True Blood' started up after getting a decent deal on it for 6 months. $15 a month forHBO, TMC, Showtie & Cinemax.
It's probably been a good 5 or 6 years since we last had HBO, so the HBO GO is pretty awesome. Now I have all these shows that I've never seen except 'True Blood' and 'Boardwalk Empire' which I got via alternative methods.
I'm about to have a TV overload!!

Maybe it's just certain apps on Xbox that don't do 1080p..don't remember for sure. For example VUDU doesn't or at least didn't at one time.

For those with a Roku and a Directv subscription, you can now use HBO Go.
Mainly this will save yourself DVR space if you're backed up on other shows.
