We both have essentially the same HBO subscription.Ĭhrome is the base name for a number of different products from Google.Ĭhrome is a browser for PCs and Android phones (like you said, just a competitor to Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc).Ĭhrome OS is an operating system built around the Chrome browser for very light weight computers (it just boots into Chrome, and only provides access to the web or apps installed within Chrome). For example, my sister has COMCAST and can watch a lot more on demand type HBO programming than I can on Time Warner Cable just because.
And if I but the chromecast dongle all I have is a smart phone, a Galaxy note 2 which doesn't seem to have a port thingy, but my PC doesj - but it is in a totally different room, 30 feet away from my TV (I do have wifi).Īs a side rant I pay for HBO and sort of resent that I have to pay to buy yet another device (Chromecast, ROKU etc) to get HBO Go, but I think thats more about the cable companies not allowing access to all HBO content than it is HBO. With my current HDTV I can use the TV remote "Internet" and will get choices of Amazon Prime, Netflix, Hulu, you tube and 1 other thing. The above is a little confusing but I think its saying I can use my PC or a different Android device but either way still have to buy a Chromecast. So do I need a Chromecast dongle or can I use my PC? No other article that I can find mentions using a web browser to stream HBO GO.
Just fire up the HBO Go app on your Android or iOS device, or in a Chrome web browser on your PC and you can send videos to your TV using one of Google’s $35 wireless dongles. "Google and HBO have announced that you can now stream content from HBO Go to a Chromecast device.
#Hbo go internet explorer or chrome how to#
I've been trying to figure out how to watch HBO GO on my TV and there are articles that mention both some sort of little "dongle"(?) called a ChromeCast and then there is this But I've also seen it referred to as an operating system? I thought it was just a different sort of browser, like IE or FF. I've heard of Chrome but never have really understood what it was. At home I have an HP with Windows 8 (which I absolutely hate. At work we have Microsoft and lots of tech support.
