I use Google Chrome so I tried the Google option, but it says I need a device. I guess it won't run on a PC or laptop ???

Then I went back and I tried the Amazon option. That took me to a different window that says I need an android.

Now I have gone back and I tried the App Store option. That took me to a window saying Itunes Preview, I see a button to download Itunes 11. But I do not see a way to download the free 1-month trial of HBOnow.

If you have a smart tv check to see if you can get the app. My tv doesn't offer it but I heard a lot do. Not sure how to find on yours. Just google adding apps to your tv.

I was thinking of the fire stick since it's just a stick and not a piece of equipment that I have to have a place for

That's understandable. My friend has 3 kids in college and that pw is being used all across the country lol but I guess if she got questions, she has proof.

I forgot about Amazon. It's offered there. But I didn't see a one month free trial offered. Maybe I already used mine?

PS Prime is the only place I've ever seen HBO content go to. After it's over, but still. Before there was no way to see even older shows w/o HBO subscription or DVDs.

Right now they have The Wire, True Blood, and more that I don't remember.
