    Ok everybody relax. It’s only because GOT is so popular that everyone tuned in at once and it was more than their network can handle. This season’s been slow in the middle and all fans know this is where shits gonna happen. Thank you to the CEO for letting everyone know your working on it.Things happen and it’s not like you won’t get to see it in a few hours. Be thankful they created HBO now. Usually you need to pay for cable to see new seasons airing.

  • Sylvia A. Goodwin

    So do you think I should cancel my HBO now subscription that I have through Google Play which renews on July 5th and then just continue my HBO now subscription on July 19th through my Amazon Fire stick when they charge my credit card again?

    Won’t let me sign-in in Chicago. Says wrong user name and password, but it’s not. So tried to reset password and though it says reset password email has been sent to my account, I don’t have it yet. Frustrated!! We were in the middle of watching a movie when it cut out over 1 1/2 hours ago! Ugh!

  • Ted Anderson

    I’m watching OITHNB until I hear more evidence that it’s back up.

  • Angry GOT freak

    Same here Jenny. I’m using the correct pword, but tried to reset just in case, no reset email sent and I did it 20 mins ago.

    Has anyone had any luck with the password issue? Before I realized the service was down for everyone, I thought it was just my own problem. I signed out, and tried to sign back in. It said I had the wrong password – even though I knew I didn’t, I tried to re-set it. It says it emailed me, but never received anything. Been doing this for hours, probably 50 times. No dice. Tweeted HBO, no dice. Completely locked out. Anyone else?
    HELP!!!!!!!

  • emm

    Any luck?? I’m having the same problem. Been trying for hours. About to cry. :(

  • Sean Ada

    Oh wow. We have an Internet bad ass over here. If 15 bucks a month is expensive for you then you should probably not be spending it on HBO.

  • Ross

    No, but I do kiss yours.

  • credulousdolt

    Hoofah. My crabbed organ of generation feels worlds better already.

  • Katelyn Abbott-Marsh

    Anybody else getting an error message about the server right now?

  • DoomNymph

    HBO NOW is freezing up on both my iphone and my laptop. tried Chrome and IE. refreshed my router, refreshed my laptop. Netflix is streaming just fine. Even tried it out on my computer that is hardwired in and it’s moving super slow/freezing up. :(

  • Vicki Howell

    HBO won’t load in Ft Worth TX. It is down.

  • H. Adr.

    HBO Now is refusing to play and is giving a message that says, more or less”write to file system failed because there is no space left”

  • Annette Greenspan

    How do u download a movie HBO

  • Annette Greenspan

    Please tell me

  • Ebudgirl

    as of 7-22, my hbo now wont load on my roku tv (new tv). anyone else?

  • Slr

    Can’t play anything, can’t remove channel, won’t work after restart. Only option I see is to cancel my subscription and start a new one. If it isn’t resolved by tonight, that’s what I’ll do.

  • Taaubo

    It stopped working for me too. When I click it, it’ll show the opening screen and then go right back to the Roku menu

  • Ebudgirl

    That sounds exactly what happened to me

  • rsg0917

    Me too. Mine stopped working, it does the same thing. I’m totally pissed and do not understand.

  • J.Mac

    I am experiencing the same exact thing.

  • Shawks2013

    For the past week it won’t play on my Xbox one. It’ll play for maybe a minute and then buffer out. So frustrating.

  • Irene Crocker

    Same for me.. it just completely opts out when I select the app

  • Dan

    I chatted with Roku support yesterday as I’m having this issue on my new RokuTV, after working fine for 2wks. Apparently HBO has changed the API of their streaming service and the Roku software developer(s) are still changing their Roku HBONow app to handle the change. They would give no estimated completion date, and claimed they’d already escalated to mgmt. I plan on checking mine every few days to see if it resumes working.

  • Ebudgirl

    Hi Dan! Thanks for the update!
    Please let us know when you have access, and I’ll try to do the same!

  • MikeeJ

    HBO Now will not work on Apple TV. Anybody found a work around?

  • Hamster Hockey

    HBO NOW won’t load on Roku for last two days (at least)

  • Steve Sayer

    HBO Now will not play videos on IPad App in Florida.

  • Save Us Jeebus

    Umm…Showtime’s app works perfectly.

  • Save Us Jeebus

    I can’t get HBO Now on Roku to do anything really. It will only play the first thing it lands on when it opens, then it won’t play any sound. Ugh. As I said above, Showtime’s Roku app works perfect and is cheaper than HBO Now.

  • brain

    I was also having issues with HBO NOW not playing on my xbox one. I reset the system and so far is working fine. But before that it hadn’t worked for approx 2 days . hope this helps.

  • Save Us Jeebus

    I think HBO Now updated on my Roku a few days ago, but I’m still having the same problems. Only shows like John Oliver will play with no problems…BUT…only one will play, then you have to get out of HBO Now and go back in to watch another and, even then, it’s a crap shoot as to whether it will actually play. I can’t play movies at all – no sound. The HBO splash/rating screen comes up (with sound), then the movie loads and no sound plays. UGH! This has got to be an HBO issue…Every other channel I have on Roku plays everything perfectly – Netflix, VUDU, Showtime are all good. I would love to have HBO Now, but I won’t pay $14.99 a month for a crappy channel with no sound. C’mon HBO!!!

  • n2dep2care

    Works for 5minutes then freezes, constantly. Will not hold my place in a series, have to forward scan to find where I left off, annoying! Not worth the money until they fix the issues.

  • MaGicBush

    Not working for 3 days now on Xbox one. I am unsubbing. It’s almost twice the price of Netflix, which has quadruple the amount of shows and now doesn’t work. Was fun for 2 months.

  • Abby

    Cant login, “An unknown error occurred. Please try again” keeps popping up

  • dub1ous

    We just bought it for apple, logged in on xbox one and it says to renew your subscription. Will call for support later but its lame we cant use it in both rooms

  • Bob Merkt

    Took the free offer and constantly having problems with streaming. My internet connection is 36 mg down and all you need is 25 Mg down to stream Netflix 4K which I do regularly without ever a problem. HBO craps out just running 1080. What up? They are killing themselves.

  • chris9465

    HBO Now has been nothing but problems since it launched. On the xbox one and PS4 its nothing but audio video sync is spotty at best. I only came here looking to see if all the problems are at least acknowledged.

    From the 1st paragraph I can tell this is another bought and paid for advertisement.

  • CamelTojo

    I just close the app and restart it and it works fine.

  • Avinono1

    It’s down right now- when clicking on tha app I get a black screen on my ipad

  • Wsholar

    Why do certain shows not run on my Apple TV?

  • RiotGirl

    Not working on my ps4 either. I send customer support an email. Hopefully they know already. Damn right in the middle of Westworld as I binge watch. Grrr

  • Anjrue Sellers

    Yeah, I agree. I’m upset just like you. We’re the same you and i, you know…

  • RiotGirl

    Down again… if anyone monitors this or cares. I was so happy when it came back up b4 Monday too. Guess it’s Netflix. Hopefully this gets ironed out. Netflix has never done this.

  • Michael A. Gable

    Ok I stream through Roku and have as of late have had issues with HBO Now.
    when I watch a movie it stops every 5 minutes and says it lost connection, no other devices are interrupted. When I check my settings it states I am connected.
    I also stream Netflix and Hulu plus and don’t have these issues. I have had different issues in the past with streaming movies, when I have I stream through my computer which is a gaming computer have 8 Gigabyte of Ram no issues but when you buy HBO through Roku they haven’t given my a sign on through my computer to stream yet…. I am about ready to give them a ultimatum to let me stream on my computer or I will cut my subscription…

  • taylor

    Having the exact same issue but with Chromecast

  • Michael A. Gable

    Ok so I removed hdmi cable to the roku and put the RC cables connected and what do you know…it works not perfectly but well. All I can say neither hbo or roku are ready for hdmi cables…I can’t see any difference in clarity or definition. And I can now stream through computer.

    message is displayed, just reverts to the app screen. Going to cancel
    subscription if TV viewing is no longer an option. All other apps on TV
    work fine. Have cleared cache, rebooted TV, factory reset, etc.

    Trying to sign up HBO now, from Roku, I enter all required information and all goes well until I press the pay button, then I get a message saying my credit card address is not valid.

    This happened to me! I ended up having to create another HBO account which kind of sucks, but at least you get the first month free so when you cancel your other account you won’t have to pay for the same service twice.
