HBO GO Rolls Out in Asia

HBO Asia is launching the HBO GO streaming service to subscribers with now TV.

The service features new episodes of the HBO originals Game of Thrones, The Newsroom, True Blood and Veep just 12 hours after their U.S. broadcast. HBO GO makes its Asian debut in Hong Kong on February 28 exclusively and free to now TV's HBO subscribers.

“HBO GO is a versatile service enabling subscribers to maximize their HBO entertainment across multiple devices, whether at home or on the move, and Hong Kong subscribers of our long-term exclusive partner, now TV, are the first to enjoy this brand new broadband streaming service,” said Jonathan Spink, the CEO of HBO Asia. “With over 1,000 hours of quality HBO Original content to choose from, HBO GO subscribers will be spoilt for choice and can also watch the latest HBO shows 12 hours after U.S. telecast. This helps combat piracy and gives subscribers an opportunity to catch the newest episodes of their favorite shows earlier.”
