HBO Go era un servicio global de transmisión de video bajo demanda autenticado , con sede en Estados Unidos, perteneciente a la cadena de televisión de pago HBO . Lanzado el 18 de febrero de 2010 en Estados Unidos, el servicio permitía a los suscriptores acceder a la programación bajo demanda de HBO a través del sitio web de HBO, aplicaciones móviles y reproductores multimedia digitales, entre otros dispositivos, mediante sus proveedores de televisión. Tras el lanzamiento de HBO Max en mayo de 2020, HBO Go, junto con HBO Now , fueron reemplazados por el nuevo servicio en todas las regiones; Vietnam , el último mercado donde HBO Go seguía activo, lo sustituyó por HBO Max el 16 de junio de 2026, lo que supuso la desaparición definitiva de HBO Go.

Historia

HBO Go fue el sucesor de HBO on Broadband , un servicio lanzado en enero de 2008, exclusivamente para clientes de Time Warner Cable (entonces una división de Time Warner, la empresa matriz de HBO) en Green Bay y Milwaukee, Wisconsin . HBO on Broadband ofrecía 400 horas de contenido, incluyendo largometrajes, películas originales de HBO, especiales y series, sin costo adicional para los suscriptores. El acceso requería una suscripción a HBO y al servicio de internet Roadrunner de Time Warner Cable . [ 2 ] [ 3 ]

El 18 de febrero de 2010, se lanzó HBO Go, inicialmente disponible a través de Verizon Fios . En la primera semana, la aplicación se descargó más de un millón de veces, y para junio de 2011, alcanzó los tres millones. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] En su lanzamiento, HBO Go solo estaba disponible en computadoras a través del sitio web de HBO. Las aplicaciones para iOS y Android se lanzaron el 29 de abril de 2011. [ 6 ] Durante los años siguientes, el servicio se expandió a otros proveedores, incluidos AT&T U-verse , [ 7 ] Comcast , Cox Communications , Time Warner Cable, [ 8 ] DirecTV , [ 9 ] Dish Network , [ 10 ] Suddenlink Communications , [ 11 ] Charter Communications , [ 12 ] [ 13 ] y servicios MVPD virtuales como DirecTV Now y Hulu .

In October 2011, Roku became the first television-connected device to support HBO Go, it later became available on Apple TV, Chromecast, PlayStation, Samsung Smart TVs, and Xbox. Support for devices was subject to cable provider agreements.[14][15][16][17] In January 2019, HBO Go ended support for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Samsung Smart TVs manufactured before 2013.[18]

On June 12, 2020, it was announced that HBO Go would be discontinued in the United States on July 31, 2020, in favor of HBO Max.[19]HBO Now, a separate direct-to-consumer version of the HBO service,[20] was also replaced by HBO Max at launch for most subscribers.[21][22]

Warner Bros. Discovery continued to use the HBO Go branding for services in eight Southeast Asian markets. Although they initially planned to relaunch these services as HBO Max in 2022, the launch was postponed. The services in these markets, along with Discovery+, were rebranded to Max on November 19, 2024.[23][24][25][26][27] The service, however, continued to be provided via a number of domestic streaming platforms in Vietnam as additional content, making Vietnam the last market where the brand remained active; it was also replaced by HBO Max on June 16, 2026.[1]

Content

HBO Go offered a selection of theatrically released films from studios with distribution deals with HBO, including 20th Century Fox, Universal Pictures, and Warner Bros. Pictures, its sister company. A significant number of titles were added and removed from the service each month.

HBO original series were available on a permanent basis, with new episodes typically becoming available for streaming at the time of their initial broadcast in the United States' Eastern Time Zone on the linear HBO channel.[28]

Several older HBO series were not available on HBO Go, including Tales from the Crypt, Tenacious D, 1st & Ten, Da Ali G Show, and The Ricky Gervais Show.[29]The Larry Sanders Show and Arliss were not added until 2016 and 2018, respectively.[30][31] HBO Go did not provide live streams of HBO's linear channels, though programming was made available following its airing on the network.
