HBO Go is a mostly discontinued authenticated video-on-demand streaming service of the pay television network HBO. Launched on February 18, 2010, the service originally allowed subscribers to access HBO's on-demand programming via the HBO website, mobile apps, and digital media players, among other devices, through their television providers. HBO Go, along with HBO Now, were phased out and succeeded by HBO Max beginning with its launch in 2020 in all regions except for Vietnam, the only market where HBO Go is still currently active.
History
HBO Go was the successor to HBO on Broadband, a service launched in January 2008 exclusively for Time Warner Cable (then a division of HBO parent company Time Warner) customers in Green Bay and Milwaukee, Wisconsin. HBO on Broadband offered 400 hours of content, including feature films, HBO original movies, specials, and series, at no extra charge for subscribers. Access required both a subscription to HBO and Time Warner Cable's Roadrunner internet service.[1][2]
