Looks like subscribing might have to be done through an Apple iTunes account or an Optimum broadband account.

Thirty day free trial. $14.99 per month after that.

1. Thanks!

I'm going to at least check this out.

2. That's way too high for my budget. Very disappointing.

15 bucks turns into 20 which turns into 25 and then 30 and so on. I was anxiously waiting, anticipating and looking forward to subscribing, never occurred to me they'd be that greedy on their launch. bummer.

3. Well, it's up. I don't know about running.

Sound continually cuts out and it continually stops to buffer. They're going to have to do a lot better than that for $15 a month.

I tried this on my computer as well as Apple TV. Not even going to bother on my iPad. It improves drastically during my 30 day free trial, or I will not subscribe.

5. We signed up yesterday to start watching GOT

I'm with you. If it doesn't improve, it is nowhere near worth the $15 fee. Hopefully they get their stuff under control and increase their broadband.

I did find that it worked better on Explorer than Chrome (which makes NO sense as far as how many resources each one demands from your computer--though that seems to support the conclusion that the problem is HBO's and not mine).

6. Go to the web site and give them feedback

You have to poke around a bit to find it, but it's actually labeled feedback.

4. I just activated it on our PS3, do they have 4K for the PC?

We subscribe through Cox Cable so it is free.
