HBO Go available on PlayStation 4 later today
PlayStation 4 owners will finally be able to watch their favorite HBO programming any time they like now that HBO Go is being released.
PlayStation 4 owners will finally be able to access HBO Go as Sony has announced the console’s official app will be made available to download later today.
PlayStation 3 owners who used the HBO Go app will feel right at home with this version as it contains the same functions. HBO subscribers will need to input their current cable or satellite service information through HBOGO.com/activate, and once you put in your friend’s… I mean, your own login information, you’ll be set to watch all content that’s included in the HBO Go service.

And it *still* doesn't work with Comcast.
Goddammit.-
whaaat :(
-
Guh? I use it through Comcast on the Xbone and also the Roku now, which blew my mind.
-
Well, I just checked it on the HBO site, and Comcast is still not listed for PS3 or PS4.
-
-
I guess I hoped that releasing on a new platform might mean someone bothers to shoot an e-mail to one of the largest cable providers and see if they're still being colossal douchebags about access.

True. It's been like this for years.

I still don't fully understand the point of HBO Go.If you are sitting in front of your TV,where your cable box already is,then the app is pretty useless.
I guess the only real reason to have it is if you at someone's house that has a PS4,but not HBO,and even then,most people,if not everyone that has HBO also have some sort of DVR or On Demand.
I'll just wait for HBO's stand alone service,which should pretty much render this app completely useless.-
People share accounts... So and HBO really didn't seem to care.

HBO Go has a ton more content than HBO or HBO on-demand via a set top box. There are lots more movies available and you can watch any episode of any show they've ever made- including comedy specials, documentaries, and HBO films.
-
And the app won't be useless. Their standalone service will most likely be access to the app or hbogo.com without the current requirement of a cable TV subscription.

I don't believe that either of those series are currently on HBO GO.

They have nearly everything. There are a few very old shows that they don't have streaming rights for, I think.
-
Also it seems like you wouldn't get it anyway so who gives a fuck

Have you ever used it? It isn't anything like on-demand. It has EVERYTHING.
Also, not everyone has on-demand. -

Holy shit finally. Seriously was suppose to be out last year, and they never gave any updates.
-
Surely the trouble HBO was having with their engineering management and teams impacted the timeline.

FUCKING FINALLLLLLLLLLLLY

HDMI-CEC is precisely why I haven't bought a Harmony. Turning off the TV turns of the PS4 and vice-versa. if my TV is on some random input (e.g., PC-HDMI) I can just push the PS button and it switches the TV input and the receiver, all in one second. XB1's lack of support for this drives me insane.
