HBO Go on Roku, Samsung and Xbox opens up to Time Warner (and possibly others) tomorrow?

Richard Lawler

HBO subscribers currently locked out of streaming HBO Go to their connected TV devices (namely Samsung HDTVs / Blu-ray players, Roku boxes and Xbox 360s) could be in for a treat soon, as our sources indicate Time Warner Cable is preparing to announce access for its customers on all three platforms tomorrow. There's also a few small pics of the updated menus for Xbox 360 and Roku flashing the TWC logo, as well as currently unsupported providers Bright House Networks (both), as well as DirecTV and Comcast (Roku). We've contacted both HBO and Time Warner Cable for comment but have not received a response yet, but we'll keep an eye out for an expanded activation menus hitting our devices soon.

Here in the US, Samsung has consistently pushed the idea of using its HDTVs to watch cable / satellite without a set-top box at CES for the last several years. So far it has actually managed to launch support for DirecTV and Verizon FiOS video via IP although other providers demonstrated are still missing (Time Warner, Comcast), and now it's launching IPTV support at home in Korea with LG U+. The app lets Smart TVs directly tune into any of 138 broadcast channels as well as video on-demand, apparently without any box in the house. While we wait for easier IP access stateside -- and it's goin... Read similar

REVIEW: The Roku 3 Blows Away The Apple TV

www.businessinsider.com Steve Kovach 54 days ago

There's no shortage of devices with so-called smart TV functions. You have the Apple TV that connects to your iTunes content. The Boxee that lets you record network TV on a virtual online DVR. TV makers like Samsung and LG have streaming apps built directly into their web-connected TV sets. And so on. But at their core, none of these devices revolutionize television the way many are hoping Apple will if it ever launches its rumored television set. Most of these gadgets, the current Apple TV box included, function largely the same. You get access to the standard library of streaming... Read similar

Time Warner Cable adds on-demand content to its TWC TV website

www.engadget.com Edgar Alvarez 100 days ago

It's been nearly two months since Time Warner said it'd start streaming on-demand content on its TWC TV website, but the giant cable provider announced today that customers can now (finally) start enjoying the à la carte service on their desktop or laptop. Similar to its offering on iOS, Time Warner Cable subscribers will have access to more than 4,000 TV shows and movies from various networks and studios, which, according to the company, also includes "certain" subscription-based programming by the likes of Showtime and HBO. Just like the rest of Time Warner's web TV service, the rec... Read similar

#netflix Netflix is currently rolling out infrastructure to pump 3D and higher-quality HD content through the pipes to your home. But Time Warner is upset: it thinks that Netflix's plan to only offer the new conent to ISPs that participate in its Open Connect initiative is unfair on consumers. More » Read similar

DLNA already in use by TV providers, but not exactly what we had in mind

www.engadget.com Ben Drawbaugh 130 days ago

Comcast, Cox, DirecTV, Orange and Time Warner Cable are already using DLNA to deliver premium content around your house, but perhaps not exactly the way you had in mind. The dream that DLNA promises has never really lived up to expectations, but we still can't help but hold on to the dream of accessing our favorite shows on every device in the home. The DLNA premium content guidelines announced last year at CES seemed to be the most promising yet, but a year has passed and evidently we didn't notice. According to the press release issued by the DLNA, the aforementioned TV providers have alre... Read similar

Time Warner Cable nows makes some live programming on your iOS device available outside your home

According to a press release issued yesterday by TWC, some of that programming will now be available on your iOS device [...]Read similar

Time Warner Cable's TWC TV is coming to Roku streaming boxes

www.engadget.com Richard Lawler 132 days ago

Confirming what we reported back in April, Time Warner Cable is bringing its TWC TV suite of streaming channels to Roku players. Launching "this quarter" TWC TV on Roku will bring 300 of its channels (including faves like ESPN and the Viacom family of networks) seen on iOS, Android and PCs, crossing what Roku founder and CEO Anthony Wood called "significant milestones." Naturally, it's only available while owners are a home, so hopes for any kind of Slingbox or box-free IPTV action would be more than a bit premature. Still, it does mean that owners can either tune into channels without switc... Read similar

Apple TV may get HBO Go in first half of 2013

www.tuaw.com Randy Nelson 107 days ago

Could it finally happen? Bloomberg is reporting that Apple is "in negotiations" with HBO to bring HBO Go to the Apple TV in app form during the first half of 2013. As our fearless leader Victor Agreda pointed out upon hearing the news, "Of course they're in negotiations -- they're in them all the time with everyone, and have been forever." (That's paraphrased, but you get the gist.) Still, the prospect that another major streaming app may finally be on our Apple TVs sooner rather than later is enough to get us excited. Unfortunately, it sounds like the dream of getting HBO Go sans a cable and... Read similar

HBO Go Could Come To Apple TV By Mid-2013

techcrunch.com Darrell Etherington 108 days ago

Apple might not need to make a TV set to make a big splash in the television market: a brand new report from Bloomberg claims that the company is negotiating with Time Warner Inc. to bring HBO Go to Apple TV by the middle of this year, citing two people familiar with the plans. That would still mean that the ability to watch HBO shows on Apple's set top box would be limited to people who already subscribe to the network in cable and satellite packages, but it's a promising step.Read similar

www.engadget.com Richard Lawler 33 days ago

Time Warner Cable has expanded its TWC TV IP streaming of broadcast television to several different platforms since its launch two years ago, but so far it's been limited to use inside subscriber's homes. That will change tomorrow, according to a tipster who informed us a new version of the iOS app is coming that allows out of home streaming. This source previously gave us an early heads up on TWC TV for Roku, which just launched last month. The video doesn't include all of the channels that are a part of TWC TV, but will feature video on-demand from channels like BBC America, BET, Comedy Ce... Read similar

Just weeks after TWC TV was overhauled for iOS products, the carrier has announced that a "serious" update will hit the Android version of TWC TV as soon as next Tuesday.

Time Warner Cable TV app for iOS now streams video on demand

When it comes to Time Warner Cable, it seems that late is better than never. While Xfinity subscribers have had on-demand programming on mobile platforms for the better part of two years, Time Warner Cable customers (with iOS devices) now have similar access. Subscribers can download the TWC TV app update to watch video on demand throughout the house (so long as they have Time Warner Cable television and internet service). Content from nearly 100 providers is available in both high and standard definition, and TWC claims it's working on bringing more HD programming to its library. The app up... Read similar

Apple is adding HBO Go to Apple TV by mid-2013, Bloomberg reports. It will only be available to Time Warner subscribers who already pay for HBO. But those who have it will be able to watch more than 600 hours worth of movies and TV shows, according to Bloomberg's sources. HBO Go is already offered on Roku and Microsoft's Xbox. “We’ve said we would like HBO GO accessible on all preferred platforms so we are always having discussions with a variety of companies," HBO told AllThingsD.

Roku passes 5 million players sold in the US, shows off with a few more stats

Five years after the original Roku launched and just weeks after the release of the Roku 3, the company has announced lifetime US sales of 5 million units. The proclamation comes attached to a detailed infographic (linked below) that breaks down its last five years of progress, plus stats like where it's most popular (Lexington, KY) and the most minutes streamed by one player in one week (10,080.) That's quite a marathon session -- Lost plus House of Cards doesn't even get you halfway -- but its stats claim 25 percent of players stream more than 35 hours of audio and video per week.
