HBO NO GO on Time Warner Cable & Bright House Networks

While Bright House followed Time Warner Cable’s footsteps this week, introducing long-awaited access to HBO/Max GO for customers who subscribe to one or both premium movie channels, neither cable company is prepared to let you watch the online video service on every available device.

After Time Warner Cable introduced HBO GO, we found the service was not authorized to work on the Roku platform, and Time Warner Cable remains off the list of available providers.  When Bright House Networks introduced the service this week, we quickly learned they do not support the Roku platform either.

We obtained nearly identical statements from HBO blaming the respective cable operators for this missed opportunity:

Bright House Networks [Time Warner Cable] is currently not supporting HBO GO on Roku. We encourage you to reach out to Bright House Networks [Time Warner Cable] and request that they add support for HBO GO on Roku.

Thank you,
The HBO GO Team
