HBO GO and MAX GO Launch April 12

Very cool.

 

Wouldn't it have to be more involved than just logging in with the directv account name and password? If I have four famly members who want to use it, I don't want to give them all the master password for DIRECTV, and also don't want to have to log in for them.

Or would it be prohibited for multiple logins?

 

Looking forward to it on April 12.

Great question on the multiple log ins. Wonder what the answer is?

 

They'd better start being more careful about their use of the word Blockbuster in their press releases :lol:

 

Very, very cool. Also looking forward to iPad support. Great stuff.

 

This is working today. I just signed up on www.hbogo.com

 

I confirm. Though, after a few buffering issues (even on my 20mbps internet), the picture quality has been dumbed down to something VERY sub-par. It even makes DirecTV SD look good.

 

You only use your DIRECTV once, then you setup an HBOGO specific account.

 

You're right... I figured when it asked me to pick an account that's why... but guess not.

 

Correct...it launched this morning for both HBO GO and MAX GO.

 

Working fine for me. Both the SD or HD versions (when HD is available)

 

Worked for me, and I thought the PQ was quite good.

 

PQ is very good for streaming here on a 30/2 connection with 2 Netflix HD and HBOGO simultaneously streaming on my network.

 

The picture quality, at least this afternoon, is nowhere near as good as it has been for the beta testing period.


Edit: just now tried another movie, and it was very good...

 

Looks great. Hope the other movie channels follow them.

 

HD looks great on my end too for both.


They so need to create a PS3 app (360 too)

 

This is cool and all, but needs an ipad/iphone app.

I also agree the video looks awful. My connection is more then fast enough and tried it on two macs a 2011 MBP with and i7 and a Imac with an i5 so power isnt an issue either.
