LG adds HBO Go to smart TVs

 

LG announced the addition of the HBO Go on-demand TV service to its smart TVs. HBO Go is available on LG TV's going back to 2012 models. LG said it's the first manufacturer to add HBO Go to its system. The HBO Go comes standard on the Premium Content menu, which is part of the webOS interface used on the most recent LG TVs. Users can also cast content from a smartphone or tablet to the LG TV.

I just bought and setup a LG 43UF7600.  I installed the latest WebOS 2.0 and HBO Go on-demand TV service is still NOT listed in the Premium Content menu.  Where can I find and install this app?

Have an LG55uf8500 in southamerica (Peru) and still dont have HBOGO but changing location on the tv to Poland and Croatia i managed to install the apps from the Premium Apps and the only way to use them on my original location is using another DNS code in my network options, hope soon enough an app for south america arrives but the only new app this days is GooglePlay... like Bart simpsons says  BOOOOORINNGGG...!

I purchased a 65UF8500 back in April (or thereabouts), and have just recently tried to get HBO Go on there, to no avail.  It's not in the LG Store, I tried going through the web to do it, again unsuccessfully, and I've called LG twice about this, the first time the lady wasn't sure what I was talking about, the second time the guy confirmed that there's no way to get it on an LG smart TV, and that there's never been a way...despite the press announcements made in December of 2014 that it was now available for all LG smart TV going back to 2012 models.  I don't know if LG and HBO had a falling out, or if they decided to make it so TV's manufactured after the press release didn't have the feature, or what, but I'm a little pissed that my Samsung which cost 2/3 what my LG cost was able to get it set up in under three minutes.

 

If anyone has any suggestions, I'd love to hear them.

Just got a new LG OLED TV and it is sweet except for the lack of HBO. C'mon guys work this out. What good is a Smart TV if you don't have the most popular shows?! The irony is that GoT shows up on the suggested shows -- but you have to buy the episodes through Prime or Vudu. Fail.

Don't see any way to login using existing cable/online subscription though. 

 

 

A monthly subscription for HBO on Amazon Channels is $14.99, similar to the

streaming option. Cinemax costs $9.99 a month.

I just bought a 65UH615A, and I don't see the HBO Now app anywhere. For now, I will cancel my HBO Now subscription, and add the Amazon Prime HBO channel for the same price. But I am confused by the press release that says all new LG displays will have HBO apps.

ALEX,

Why can't we get the app? Why must we go through Amazon?

Because HBO has not developed an app for webOS from what I understand.  Going through Amazon was just a workaround as an option for some. 

HBO is also available on Amazon Channels now.

The provided information shows that LG did not do what they said.  At least 4 different recent releases of LG smart TVS lack HBO go. 

Adding insult to injury. ALex the only "advanced member"  which began this thread with stating HBOGO was added 

then puts in a sales line for the channels, encouraging me to pay for HBO twice once with cable (hence why I want HBO GO) and again with

an amazon channel or someone elses paid service.  

 

 

Just silly. 

LG is behind the curve on this.

This topic was started in 2014 when an article came out that HBOGO was added. I agree that Lg may have misled users. I was simply stating that Amazon may be an alternate solution to watch HBO as sling may be as well. I will close this topic to not cause anyone else to be misled. 

Please start a new topic if you have HBO questions or use the search bar to find other existing topic regarding HBO.

      LG Brings a New Lineup of Engaging Games to LG Smart TVs via Its Gaming Portal
      By News Reporter
      LG webOS-Powered TV Users Can Jump Into Immersive Gameplay, With Exclusive
      Single Titles, Games Playable With Magic Remote or LG Mobile Gamepad app

      SEOUL, Dec. 29, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) is rolling out new games on its LG Gaming Portal,1 providing LG Smart TV users with a greater selection of titles, all playable directly on the screen without the need for additional devices. The expanded lineup demonstrates LG’s commitment to broadening its gaming ecosystem and evolving the Gaming Portal into the ultimate destination for compelling gaming experiences.
      LG continues to expand its Gaming Portal by offering more than 4,000 cloud-based games and 600 casual titles, presenting compelling gaming experiences directly on LG Smart TVs. By delivering elevated, device-free gaming, LG provides new and engaging ways to enjoy games on the large screens, brought by a growing ecosystem of studios and creators.
      Featuring dynamic choreography and familiar global hits, Just Dance Now2 is now available on LG Smart TVs running webOS 22 or later in the US, Australia, Sweden and Norway, with availability across Europe expected in the following weeks. Through LG’s collaboration with Ubisoft, users in supported markets can follow along with their favorite routines without the need for a console or additional controllers. Using the LG Magic Remote, users can enjoy dancing with friends or family through the remote control’s motion-sensing technology, which precisely mirrors their movements on screen for fluid and responsive gameplay.
      To bring more fun to every living room in the US, LG has partnered with Volley, the leading developer of voice AI games for smart TVs. Volley’s TV gaming lineup includes game show classics like Jeopardy! and original hits like Song Quiz, a guess-the-song music trivia game. Played by over 50 million people worldwide, Volley is pioneering a new era of voice-controlled entertainment in the living room.
      For those who are looking for the high-speed action of arcade racing, LG and Blacknut introduce Asphalt Legends Unite,3 an IP offering dynamic gameplay and exciting challenges to play with friends. Available for free with ads, players can unlock access to all cars and maps from the start, allowing them to race any supercar without in-game purchases. By simply pressing the directional keys on the remote, users in the US can join the race instantly and ride the momentum of every fast-paced moment.
      Another uplifting addition4 is My Little Puppy, a heartwarming adventure game published by Krafton and offered by Blacknut, in which players follow the story of a dog as he embarks on a journey of relationships, farewells and reunions. LG Smart TVs bring the lifelike details and vivid scenery of the game’s world to life on the big screen and subtly draw players into its emotional depth.
      With a growing ecosystem of games, such as Asphalt Legends Unite and My Little Puppy, LG has made it easier to also play with a smartphone through LG’s new Wi-Fi-based mobile gamepad app. LG Mobile Gamepad Wi-Fi,5 now available on both Android and iOS, allows smartphones to operate as controllers, enabling a seamless, hassle-free experience for supported games.
      Recognized at last year’s LG webOS Hackathon for their creativity and innovation, two award-winning games have now been added to the selection of titles on the LG Gaming Portal, allowing users to jump into these immersive game worlds optimized for LG Smart TVs. Quest of Sunflower by Couchplay, the Grand Prize winner, is an epic family adventure powered by stunning graphics and dynamic AI-generated storytelling. Signs of Magic by Lukas Klingsbo, the second-place winner, invites players to join the wizard Elowen on an exciting magical quest to defeat monsters. The LG Magic Remote functions like a magic wand, with gyroscopic sensors mapping out gestures as spells for playful interactions with monsters and magical items.
