HBO fans have reason to celebrate with the premium cable company’s announcement of HBO Go, available on tablets and mobile devices early next month. Good news to be sure, but there’s also a downside: like the desktop version, to access it, you have to be subscribed to the network.
On the other hand, you’ll have instant access to old favorites like Curb Your Enthusiasm and The Sopranos, newer highly celebrated series like Game of Thrones or Boardwalk Empire, and a handful of movies as well. The apps and services will be free to HBO subscribers, and should be available starting May 2nd.
HBO (as well as their main rival, Showtime) recently started pulling their content from Netflix’s streaming service, so this announcement should come as no surprise.
You can watch video of the iOS and Android version below:
