Subscribers also have access to HBO Documentary Films, HBO Sports and a wide selection of theatrical films. In addition, the service will include bonus materials, soundtrack and cast information.

HBO GO can be accessed by HBO subscribers from any U.S. location with a broadband connection.

When browsing, subscribers can also bookmark content for later viewing by adding it to their "Watchlist" or restrict content with easy to use parental controls.

The HBO Go will be available on most 2010 and 2011 models.
