As of today, both HBO GO and MAX GO show a gray screen when videos are 
launched. No signs of flash activity (sites load correctly though).

On Google+ official GTV page reports of this have popping out since June 12th 
2013. People getting stuck at optimizing video quality or gray screen.

Begging of the end for chrome 11...funeral for flash 10.2

Gives some love Google. You pretty much used us as beta tester on this stuff.

I have been unable to access HBOGO from my ASUS Cube/GoogleTV device for the 
past 5 days. Could you please fix the issue. The HBOGO feature is one of the 
reasons I bought the device. The GoogleTV home page still advertises that it is 
an application that works with HBOGO.

The following statement is from HBOGO.
__________________________________________________________________________

Thank you so much for your email. We value your feedback and appreciate you 
taking the time to share it with us. HBO GO/MAX GO is not supported on Google 
TV.  Google TV is not compatible with HBO GO.  Google TV's browser no longer 
supports the Adobe Flash Player that is used by HBO GO.

Thank you, 

The HBO GO Team

Will we get a flash update to support HBO GO/MAX again. It was one channel I 
used frequently and enjoyed. Please let's not lose any more channels since we 
have so few already thanks to NBC.

I hear there is an alternative device which recently added HBO support:

I am also very disappointed that HBOgo and MAXgo have stopped working. I have 2 
Sony NSX Google TVs. Instead of getting better, Google TV seems to continue 
loosing content . When are you folks at Google going to step up and make sure 
your platform lives up to what you promised when I purchased the TVs. 
Apple looks better and better every day.

Those of you who are upset with GoogleTV, you should be upset with HBOGo and 
Adobe, since they are the reason it doesn't work.  HBO Go changed their player 
Flash requirements (why are they still using flash??) and they refuse to create 
an application.  Adobe decided to put Flash on EVERYTHING and then chose to 
only support PCs and such (Steve Jobs was smart for saying no to Flash on 
iProducts!).  You're whining to the wrong company; while Google needs to find a 
way to update flash, it's up to HBO Go to provide an app (as they have for 
Apple TV and other devices) or change their streaming player to something 
supported by more devices.

If you have a PC, you can use PlayOn which will give you HBO Go and a ton of 
other content (ABC, Fox, MTV, all kinds of sports, etc...).  Google did not let 
you down, in this instance, as they didn't choose for HBO and Flash to go in 
such absurd directions.

Buying a GoogleTV solely for HBO Go (as edal2 states) was a poor choice when 
Roku is cheaper and supports it.  I bought my GoogleTV primarily for use as a 
Plex front end, but also for it's other uses.  I, absolutely, want this 
resolved but it's important to understand the situation.

 October 2013 and google still doesnt give half a fuck about the false advertizing and shitty customer service. i hate google. Now I guess I gotta spend more money on a roku.

That language is not necessary. Google has no control over HBO or Adobe Flash. 
You need to take your rude rant straight to HBO,  they choose not to build an 
app for gtv. Additionally,  with the next release of GTV (jelly bean)...   HBO 
Go may actually work. HBO is choosing to use a poorly supported protocol and 
Google cant do anything about that. Calm down!

Problem is that first gen Google TVs like the sony tvs and the revue will not 
be getting an update. This is due to the processors not being compatible with 
jelly bean. So what HBO needs to do is switch to HTML 5 so all Google TVs can 
access it or make an app for Google TV.

Waiting for this as well,as this was a major purchase point.  In actuality I 
guess what I'm really wating for is a jellybean update for the Sony gs8. Yawn.

Actually it's entirely GoogleTV's fault.  My sony nsv played HBO Go just fine 
until they "updated" to the new platform/chromecast etc. and it died 
immediately afterward.  The entire point in buying the google platform was to 
play HBOGo.  Google "updated" the device and it stopped working.  That had 
nothing to do with HBOGo, Adobe or Flash.  It had to do with GoogleTV removing 
capability to force use of chromecast which does not support Flash.  It's a 
ripoff, a scam and quite possible a class action lawsuit.

It is not at all Google TV's fault.  It's very simple, HBO chose to restrict 
their service to a newer version of Flash (which is understandable) and Adobe 
has decided not to update Flash on any Android device.  HBO Go has the option 
to use other mechanisms for streaming video that are compatible with Google TV 
Chrome or the option to provide an app.

The issue occurred well before Chromecast and on a number of other platforms, 
also (i.e. Boxee).  If you want HBO Go on GoogleTV, you will need to use 
something like PlayOn, period.  Otherwise, you will have to get a Chromecast 
(which is cheap and a great product, I use mine every day because Vizio has 
broken their CoStar and refuses to fix it--I like the Chromecast better, I use 
it with Plex, Netflix, HBO Go and youtube!!  Mostly with Plex.  

There is no possibility of a class action lawsuit, HBO Go was never a part of 
the GoogleTV Platform, officially.  If it were, there would be an app for it.  
It's very unfortunate that HBO Go doesn't work, I think Steve Jobs hit the nail 
right on the head when he refused to allow Flash on iOS!  Flash needs to die, 
it needs to be no more, period.  There are more viable options that function 
across multiple platforms.  If HBO would design an app for Google TV or if the 
vendors would push to the next version of Google TV, there may be other 
options.  It seems Google TV is being phased out.

The worst part is that HBOGo is working fine on the Android platform RIGHT NOW. 
Through around 4 lines of code, HBO could open the app up from Tablet/Phone 
only installs to a TV (Google TV) install being available.

Of course, the UI could use some polishing if it's going to be on Google TV, 
but I can live with a bad UI. It's better than no HBOGo.
