Anybody know if Google Play can be used for the HBONow:

You mean use Google's Play Player? That seems unlikely. HBO Now uses its own app for all the compatible devices here: https://order.hbonow.com/devices

I found this information:

So it appears Google Play is acceptable.

If anyone else took advantage of the 3 month trial, check to see if HBO billed you. I noticed today that I was charged $14.99.

To their credit, I sent them a message through the HBO Now contact page and I had a response and refund within 30 minutes.

I bought one, how do you get the 3 months free? I did not receive any paper in the packet or any emails...

Just set up the one I bought for my parents, I think it'll be a lot easier for them to use than the Fire TV Stick since they can use their laptops/phones (that they're already familiar with) to start the videos. It's my first time using the newer Chromecast and it's pretty great. I'm going to pick up a few more if it drops to $25 again.

Back on....

Just went to BB and got the ULTRA which I had not been aware of. It works really well even on wi-fi. I'll try it with wired sometime soon.

Will check HBO offer too.

Chromecast Audio is on sale too. I have four of those devices now, I can't recommend them enough.

Very Disappointed: Can't use Google Play to signup for the 3 months, debit or credit card only. I wonder if a gift card would be accepted?
