HBO GO won't activate

JK1974

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP FIX THIS!!! I used HBO GO without a problem on my Smart TV and on my phone until around October 2016. Now, everytime I attempt to sign in to it, they have me select my carrier (Verizon Fios), it brings me to the sign in page for Verizon Fios, I sign in, and them I'm told by Verizon that I need to purchase Fios in order to use HBO GO. I HAVE HAD FIOS FOR YEARS!!!!!!!

I can't count how many attempts I have made contacting Verizon support (only to be hung up on after an hour of them not being able to figure it out), on the phone with HBO GO (who says it's a problem with Verizon), virtual agents, and now this community because Verizon cannot seem to get it together.

I have provided my information, I have tried everything you say, why can't you just fix it? I am not the only person having this issue. Why don't you have easier access to file a complaint or e-mail tech support? I don't want to select a reason, I just want to send a fxxking e-mail to someone in the hopes of getting a resolution to my problem. I am beginning to think that my only solution now is to purchase it through Amazon.

Silly question, but I assume you subscribe to HBO.

Have you tried logging in to HBO go from another device besides your smart tv?

Maybe smart phone or PC?

Hello CRobGauth,

Yes, I am subscribed to HBO. Yes, I have attempted to log in to HBO GO on several other devices, I am told each time that I need to purchase FIOS.

I will also add that I have updated the software on my TV, deleted the HBO GO app from the TV and my smartphone and re-installed them, and confirmed with multiple Verizon employees that I do indeed have FIOS.
