I agree that HBO Go access would be nice. If nothing else it would be a backup for cases where Sling TV can't handle demand and in cases like this where people are having trouble finding some of the content.
Remember that HBO on Sling TV has only been up for a day though. If there are issues with missing or hard to find content it will likely be fixed once they have a few days to work on it.
Out of curiosity, does HBO on Sling TV support 5.1 audio? HBO Go didn't originally but when they added it there was really nothing about HBO Go I found to be worse than the cable/satellite delivered product. I'm not sure I've heard anything about 5.1 audio on Sling TV period but so far HBO would be the only thing I would really find it necessary for.
Yeah I am hoping they are in the process of getting it all on there. I have sent an email and tweeted to@slinganswers because with all the HBO content that is on there they might not even know some things are missing.
I believe the Sling App itself is only stereo. But I can't be 100% sure. I don't think it shows up as DD on my receiver or anything.
But from the press release Sling is supposed to have what HBO Go has (at least it sounds that way) :
"The new offering features HBO’s main live channel and will include the same VOD library HBO provides on its other platforms; Sling TV will begin adding HBO’s VOD titles today."
So it depends on what "platforms" means. I read that as the Go and Now platforms along with the cable company VOD library.
