I just went to the HBO Go site and the only subscription options I found is either through TV provider or through HBO now, the latter is for Apple iOS platforms only. So I'm still not sure how I could get HBO in 2015 not through designated provider. Though I know how I could get any HBO shows in approximately 3 clicks, for free and without any hassle, if I wanted to go this way. So it's still hard to understand what they're trying to do there.
