Eddard the Builder Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 They better fix HBO GO before they start a new service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shastada Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 They better fix HBO GO before they start a new service. HBO Now will be handled by outside IT company (MLB advanced media) which has been streaming MLB baseball for years very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seneti Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 It's only 90 days exclusive to Apple. Yes. And 90 days is exactly how long it will take until GoT season 5 is over. So the service will stop being exclusive as soon as the show that jump-started it goes off the air. Very promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubarey Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Apple is not the only provider. Optimum, a comcast company is also going to be streaming HBONOW starting in April and there likely will be other providers on board by April 1. Moreover, anyone can buy an Apple TV device ($69 dollars) and then subscribe to HBONOW and watch it through their TV or PC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just buy sub through iTunes and watch from browser on any PC. Still not sure on when its going live. Only 2 weeks to go. I hope it goes live at least a week early so I can get it up and running and tested out ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubarey Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 It's April 1, and the joke today is that the HBONOW service is not avaliable yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shastada Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 It's April 1, and the joke today is that the HBONOW service is not avaliable yet. I really was hoping it would launch well before the premiere to give time to try it out. They're running out of time to take my money ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shastada Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Can't believe it hasn't gone live yet. Ditto, I keep checking anywhere I can think for news but there has been no updates at all. Doesn't seem like they planned this very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
