Step 1. Purchase HBO.

Step 3. Change channel to HBO.

Seems simple enough to me...

google savvy people, Why do none of my gmail accounts count as an "admin" account? Apparently I can't use the application because all of my gmail accounts aren't allowed to use stupid fucking google wallet/payments

You do need access to a TV as well.

Okay so what's your step for pirating it?

Step 1: call an internet provider and have it installed.

Step 2: purchase a PC.

Step 3: do the base installation.

etc?

Well if you're too annoyed with setting up HBO Now, you can move to Canada where the only legal way to watch it is to have the actual HBO cable channel, unless you count VPNs as "legal".

Ok so what are the hoops here? HBO Now says it does not require a tv package:
http://help.hbonow.com/app/answers/detailHBO/a_id/124
PSN has an HBO Now app:
https://store.playstation.com/#!/en-us/apps/hbo-now/cid=UP2084-CUSA05223_00-HBONOWPS40000000

Is there something preventing you from actually using your HBO Now account on the PS4 app?

my ps4 won't let me set up an account because you apparently need an administrator google account and regular gmail accounts don't work. Don't really know how to get an admin account and it seems too annoying to look into doing.

Weird... I had a really easy time setting mine up. It was no more difficult than installing a digitally purchased game. I guess it varies by region and whether you get HBO as part of a cable package or not. But once you get past the initial installation, there's no way that HBO Now is more inconvenient than having to search for an illegal download for each episode.

You really should pay for GoT if possible, imo. HBO spends a ton of money to make that show what it is.
