Interested cable-cutters can see sign-up instructions and access HBO Now on desktops here (https://order.hbonow.com/?camp=NowM18). The service is exclusive to Apple devices for now -- Cablevision is offering its internet customers subscriptions (http://www.engadget.com/2015/03/16/cablevision-will-offer-hbo-now/) too -- and costs $15 a month. Remember, the new season ofGame of Thrones launches in just five days, so if HBO Now's exclusivity deal with Apple sounds as restrictive as a Dothraki barber shop, that's only because it is (http://www.engadget.com/2015/03/09/hbo-now-strings/). The FAQ (http://help.hbonow.com/app/answers/listHBO/c/29/?camp=helpk1) says an Android app is "coming soon" (probably outside Apple's 90-day exclusive window), and content-wise it should match what we've seen from HBO Go.
