Any Game of Thrones fans out there? Well, for any who are, you will be happy to know that on Wednesday, Apple announced they would be adding HBO Go to the Apple TV! Finally, the days of waiting for iTunes to get its mitts on your favorite HBO programming are over.
Of course, you need to have an Apple TV, a subscription to HBO and your cable provider needs to support the HBO Go service. But if you meet all that criteria, you are good to go. The nice thing about HBO Go is that you not only get the newest shows, but you get the classics like The Wire and The Sopranos (not that I have seen either but I’ve heard they received good reviews)* and any movies they are currently showing on HBO.
Apple also added a few other services: WatchESPN, SkyNews, Crunchyroll and Qello. These give access to sports, live news, anime and music programing, respectively. Simply run your updates on your Apple TV and let the epic-ness begin.
