HBO Go crashes amid huge demand for Game of Thrones premiere
http://c2.bgr.com/2013/04/tyrion_joffrey_lancel.png?w=610 (http://bgr.com/2014/04/07/why-is-hbo-go-**t-working/)HBO might want to call up Netflix (http://bgr.com/tag/netflix) to get some tips for how to deal with heavy streaming demand for incredibly popular television ****** (http://bgr.com/2014/02/14/house-of-cards-season-2-release/). It seems that HBO Go, the video streaming service available to HBO subscribers, crashed on Sunday night amid huge demand for the premiere of the fourth season of Game of Thrones. HBO ack**wledged the problem (https://twitter.com/HBOGO/statuses/452977202364444672) shortly after 9 p.m. on Sunday and said that HBO subscribers should check (https://twitter.com/HBOGO/statuses/452978166244864000) to see whether the show would be available through HBO On Demand on their cable service. HBO (http://bgr.com/tag/hbo) also reminded frustrated viewers that they could catch a repeat of the episode at 11:00 p.m. on HBO proper. It's somewhat surprising that HBO has seemingly underestimated demand for the Game of Thrones premiere, especially since the show is the single most-pirated television show in the world and since HBO itself has encouraged HBO subscribers to share their HBO Go account log-ins (http://bgr.com/2014/01/20/hbo-go-login-sharing-policy/) with their cord-cutting friends who don't subscribe to the channel.
