2027: Go HBO
2029: HBO Maxnow
2033: Home Box Office: Max Streaming Service
HBO-bius MAX-imus
It's HBO-b'in time
Wait, HBO stands for Home Box Office? They've had a perfect name for streaming this whole time! Lol
Back in the days when cable/satellite was new and they were bringing you unedited movies from the theater, before they even were released on VHS often. Of course there weren’t thousands of viewers using this as a way to increase their VHS collection for one low monthly fee by recording the channel…
2040: Still Not Netflix
And for a brief moment an idle Wednesday morning in 2028: "HBgod damn it l voice recognition turned on"
GO NOW MAX!...... Max...... MAAAX!
He was in fact gone
dun dun dun dun dun DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN!
There was an HBO Nordic around the time of HBO Go
HBO Go Max Now
Go and now were separate products from Max. They required you to have a cable/satellite service with HVO add on in order to log in.
I'm pretty sure we had HBO Now with no TV service for the last season or two of GoT
As I recall, Go was the add-on to TV service, and Now was the standalone. Although the names were kinda dumb, it was good that they had two different names.
