  • HBO on the iMac

    From John Varela@21:1/5 to All on Wed Jan 10 20:16:42 2018
    XPost: comp.mobile.ipad

    I recently subscribed to HBO and am viewing it on the iPad using
    HBOGO.

    I'd rather watch HBO on the iMac, but can't find any way to do that.
    Can it be done, and if so, how?

    Browse to HBOGO.COM and sign in with your credentials.

    What credentials? I subscribed to HBO through my ISP, Verizon. I
    went to the HBOGO.com Web site and it wants me to sign in with an
    email address. My Verizon UID is not an email address, and I have no
    Verizon email address.

    I don't think it is possible to have a Verizon account and not have a
    Verizon email address.

    But you will need to ask Verizon how to login to HBO Go's website.

    Or cancel HBO on your cable and get HBO Now which is not tied to your
    cable account.

    What does this all have to do with OS/2 applications (computer.operatingsystems.OS/2.applications)? Do you guys not know what OS/2 is?

    Please post your items in appropriate newsgroups not in OS/2 ones. I'm pretty sure there are a lot iMac and TV groups. You do not need to spam OS/2 ones. Thanks.

    Clearly not a lot and they are all on the right newsgroup from their
    POV.

    They are talking on:

    comp.mobile.ipad,comp.os.os2.apps

    For some reason this is now considered an alias for comp.os.os2.apps.
    Go figure. Blame the news provider. :-)

    I doubt they will see your message or mine, but who knows.

    If you look, the original poster posted with Pronews, so an OS/2 user.

    Nothing. My mistake. It was supposed to be crossposted to

    fingers and crossposted to the wrong group.
