You have to be a subscriber to HBO to use HBO GO. They require you to enter information from
your cable provider (username, password). If you don't have this info you can call the cable
company and get it. So they're not giving anything away...just an added perk. I hope that other
premium channels follow suit. It's a good way to get those made for TV programs that one misses.
BTW, I've not tried connecting the Ipad to my TV. I have a big screen TV but it's not HDTV.
