'Does Roku have HBO Go?': How to watch HBO Go through your Roku streaming device, if it's compatible

• Yes, you can watch HBO Go on Roku devices if you want to download and watch movies and shows through the app, but there's a catch.
• HBO Go is supported on all 3rd generation and newer Roku devices; 2nd generation and older Rokus no longer get updates, and likely won't work correctly with HBO Go.
• No matter how you access HBO Go, its media is only viewable inside the United States and in select US territories.

If you have a Roku device or a Roku-enabled TV and you subscribe to HBO Go, then you can gear up for watching episodes of "Westworld," "The Sopranos," and all your other favorite HBO programming.

Roku's app store has HBO Go, meaning the premium cabler's app is compatible with Roku devices. That is, as long as you have a third-generation or newer Roku streaming player or smart TV. Older generation Roku players might not fully support HBO Go.

There are a few quick and easy steps to getting HBO Go on Roku. Here's how to do it.
