HBO's standalone streaming service is now available through Google's HDMI dongle.
Following a recent expansion to Fire tablets, Android devices, and Verizon broadband, HBO has finally announced Chromecast support for its HBO Now platform. The premium streaming service initially launched exclusively on Apple devices.
HBO NOW allows users to watch every episode of every season of HBO’s original programming, hit movies, documentaries, sports and exclusive comedy specials separate from a traditional cable or satellite subscription. The service offers more than 2,000 popular series and movies, including 'Game of Thrones,' 'True Detective,' 'Silicon Valley,' 'Girls,' 'Veep,' 'The Wire,' 'Divergent,' 'X-MEN: Days of Future Past,' 'Neighbors,' and 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.'
In addition to the Chromecast, HBO Now will also be available on the Fire TV, Fire TV Stick, and Android TV products in the coming weeks. An HBO Now subscription currently costs $15 per month.
