Particularly Game of Thrones. I would understand if I couldn't watch boxing matches or literal live shows live..but TV series'..can I watch those live?

I've found that the Sunday night shows are up as close to their over the air start time as to make no difference, with the exception of Jon Oliver, which seems to take a while to make it to the app.

If you haven't already used the free trial, wait until the last minute then grab the trial and get the first 4 episodes free.

I decided not to be a cheap bastard this year, so I picked up Now.

Do you have Amazon Prime? I do. So they have my payment information. Maybe if you aren't a prime subscriber you need to add the app another way. No clue.

Give it the old unplug the power then plug back in. Might be something lingering in the memory that needs a nice reboot.

Any luck?

Try uninstalling the app and then loading again.

I got an email that said I needed to complete my profile for the service to work, but that isn't true because it was running when I got the email.

Don't know. Check compatible devices.

Still have no clue why it isn't working on the fire for you.

Fire TV HBO NOW
Not much help from their troubleshooting section. Just turn everything off and on. Uninstall/reinstall.

Same advice I gave you. Don't see any complaints online about setting NOW up so it doesn't appear to be a major problem.

HBO Go is through your provider

HBO Now is a standalone service

This will be my first year with NOW. HBO Go used to have the episodes within minutes of start time.
