HBO launched a streaming application for use on mobile
devices and computers called HBO Go. It
allows current HBO subscribers to stream video when they are away from
home. Almost all of HBOs complete series
(or complete up to the current season) are available for on demand
viewing.
I love this app for working out on the treadmill. It really keeps me motivated when I can watch
a movie or a 30 or 60 minute episode from one of the many series HBO produces
while I am walking on the treadmill by using my phone and either a 4G network
or WIFI. I also use this feature at home
as a replacement for television. I have
an account from my family home in Southern California, but I can take advantage
of viewing the shows while I am in Northern California going to school. How awesome is that? OK…maybe that’s a bit too enthusiastic, but
it is pretty convenient for me. I love
being able to enjoy serial entertainment without the confines of scheduling my
life around TV schedules. I can be
entertained on my time which is just the way I want it.
Pretty soon I think we will be able to watch anything on
mobile devices or computers. Maybe
companies such as HBO and Showtime will start selling their services
independently of cable and satellite companies.
Now that would be awesome!
Now if only my course load allowed me time to hit the
treadmill, or the yoga mat, or the swimming pool…ugggg…I just need more than 24
hours in each day before finals!!!
