Amazon Fire TV adds HBO Go app

Add one more home for the popular app HBO Go: Amazon Fire TV.

The retailing giant announced HBO Go is available through its streaming media set-top box. The app will also be accessible to owners of the Fire TV Stick.

However, the app reportedly won't work if you are a Comcast or Charter cable subscriber. According to The Wall Street Journal, Charter and Comcast are blocking the app.

This isn't the first time Amazon and HBO have worked together. Earlier this year, Amazon signed a long-term deal with the cable channel to host older HBO shows on the Instant Video service, available via an Amazon Prime subscription.

Peter Larsen, Amazon's vice president of devices, says the number of apps and games available on Fire TV has quadrupled since launching in April. The set-top box now hosts 700 services.
