"Charter is taking another step to bring quality video content
to our customers when they want it and where they want it," said
Marti Moore, Vice President Web
Technology, Customer Experience. "If you're not home for the latest
episode of a favorite series or an anticipated new release, you can
now watch while you're on the go. The convenience of DVRs and on
demand capabilities were just the beginning. With GO, our customers
can enjoy great HBO and Cinemax programming from just about
anywhere."
With HBO GO, Charter customers with Charter TV® who
subscribe to HBO have free, unlimited access to more than 1,400
titles online, including every episode of every season of the best
HBO shows, HBO Films, HBO Miniseries, documentaries, HBO Sports and
blockbuster movies at any time and from any location in the U.S.
with a broadband connection. MAX GO adds more than 400 titles of
Cinemax programming online, allowing customers to instantly watch
the biggest Hollywood
blockbusters, indies, cult favorites and MAX After Dark series
while on the go. Both services offer most programming in HD.
HBO GO and MAX GO offer Charter TV customers most new titles
simultaneously with their premiere on HBO and Cinemax. Customers
can browse the HBO GO website for movies, documentaries, and
original series as well as exclusive bonus material, soundtrack and
cast information. Customers can also create a "Watchlist" that
keeps track of bookmarked content for later viewing. In addition,
HBO GO and MAX GO can be personalized through a "Series Pass®"
capability, which automatically sends new episodes of favorite
original series when they arrive on the service.
Charter's robust high-speed Internet service provides a superior
online experience enabling consumers to enjoy streaming content,
including this robust library from HBO GO and MAX GO, and all the
Internet has to offer.
To view online, Charter's HBO and Cinemax viewers can go to
hbogo.com and maxgo.com or simply go to charter.net/hbo and
charter.net/cinemax. Once there, customers sign in with their
Charter user ID and password, make their selections and view.
