HBO GO Extends Service in LatAm & the Caribbean

HBO Latin America is expanding access to HBO GO, which will become available for direct online subscription in the region through the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

In the region, HBO GO can be accessed on any mobile device with iOS 7.1 (or higher) on an iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch, or Android (OS 4.0 and higher) and at hbogoca.com and hbogola.com. HBO GO can also be watched on the TV screen with Chromecast and Xbox 360 (with Xbox Live) within Latin America and the Caribbean.

Francisco Smith, the executive VP of distribution and media development at HBO Latin America, said: “Consumers are seeing more content on the internet every day and adopting new technologies as part of their new consumption habits. The public no longer only sees content at home but wants to take it with them everywhere, so they can see it anytime, anywhere. Consumers want easy and immediate access to content, and this online subscription to HBO GO comes to fulfill this need.”

“Our primary goal is to provide alternatives for subscribers in the region, and we want everyone to have easy access to our content,” added Smith. “We will continue to explore opportunities with our pay-TV affiliates and on other future platforms to expand access to HBO content.”
