The service, which is widely used  on iPads iPhones and Androids, has been a huge success for HBO.<\/p>\n<p>During the company&#8217;s earnings call, CEO Jeff Bewkes echoed the companies  commitment to HBO on the Go with his plan to add the service to  consoles and connected TVs.<\/p>\n<p>Details of the new service have not been announced yet, but it does look like an interesting service. I recently started watching True Blood and would love to be able to watch the series in a high definition environment. I don&#8217;t have HBO myself, so I have to rely on people I know and other means to watch the series. They also have other series I would like to try and of course their assortment of movies available on the channel.<\/p>\n<p>With the advent of on demand streaming services, does this change the way you look at cable? Many users are ditching cable in favor of services such as Netflix. Blockbuster&#8217;s service similar to Netflix also allows for newer release movies and even video games to be rented for their monthly fee. A combination of Netflix, Blockbuster, and an on demand cable channel such as HBO would be considerably cheaper than cable.\u00a0 I myself have contemplated ditching my cable and going for such a monthly combination and only keeping my cable company for their high speed internet service. I like the ability to have a full entertainment experience through my X-Box 360.<\/p>\n<p>Have you already made the switch to an all on demand entertainment package? Let us know in the comments and tell us if the switch was worth it for you.<\/p>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/www.g4tv.com\/thefeed\/blog\/post\/715129\/hbo-go-coming-to-video-game-consoles\/#ixzz1UGMy9fbf\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; HBO Go, HBO&#8217;s service for mobile devices and browsers, will be making its debut on video game<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5795","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-geeky-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.geekworldordersite.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5795","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.geekworldordersite.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.geekworldordersite.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.geekworldordersite.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.geekworldordersite.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5795"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/www.geekworldordersite.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5795\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5798,"href":"http:\/\/www.geekworldordersite.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5795\/revisions\/5798"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.geekworldordersite.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5795"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.geekworldordersite.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5795"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.geekworldordersite.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5795"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
