I already knew that. When I pay for HBO I should be able to watch HBO series on demand without connecting my laptop to my HD TV. This an old, outdated solution. I recall doing that 18 years ago.
If ATT can't deliver, it should not charge for HBO. Make HBO on demand access free to everyone.
Watching HBO GO is fine on small devices--smartphones, laptops, etc. What if I want to watch on demand shows with family and friends, enjoying my TV's superior resolution and screen size? Connecting my laptop to HD TV is a lame, very old tech solution. Why require HBO subscribers to take even a few minutes to connect devices?
Think of the term "On Demand"... HBO GO is not the solution.
ATT has been okay for the past few years, now ATT delivers very little for large fees . Zero customer service on this issue. Does ATT have any plans to keep its customers?
Do you advise dissatisfied ATT customers to switch providers? Do the cut-the-cord thing?
...enjoying my TV's superior resolution and screen size?
Doesn't HBO Go stream in HD? If so you aren't going to get any better so called "superior resolution" just because that same HD piped into your TV from either uverse or streaming. The TV isn't going to generate any information that wasn't sent to it in the first place.

Lame? Old? That's your opinion. I don't share it. I have my tv hooked up to my computer. All I do is push a button on my keyboard and my TV becomes an additional monitor for streaming. Push another button and the tv is disconnected.

I think att's various packages are for internet, tv, and phone and that's what you are paying for. If you don't like the additional services beyond that feel free to vote with your wallet.
Note, just for clarity, I'm just a user just like you. I don't work for att. So butting into this thread and expressing your opinion of att services make make you feel good but it isn't going to change anything and it's a waste of my time reading and debating with you. So don't expect me to read anything you may further have to say here.
Also it's the forum software assigns the user classifications. That's why you are a so called tutor. And if you don't like the classification these forums gave me that's too damn bad.

With HBO you 4 options to watch programming:
Live HBO: Multiple channels available in SD and HD. HBO determines what is broadcast and when.
HBO On Demand on your TV: HBO determines content. AT&T just transmits it.
HBO GO: Streaming offerings from HBO and is free with your HBO subscription. HBO, again, determines content. There appears to be MORE content there.
HBO OD on the Uverse app: Not sure who determines content but there are programs there that are not on broadcast (regular) OD.
Hey, if you can't find what you're looking for on these 4 platforms....what can I say?
