Maybe it won't work on your Android-powered toaster, but the devices they currently support are fairly comprehensive: http://www.hbogo.com/#devices/ http://www.hbogo.com/#devices/

  What is missing for me is Apple TV, but I suppose that cuts too deep into HBO's income.

    It's not about just the device, it's about the device + provider; see PS3 and Comcast.

  I can't even read that page without Flash installed. That's a pretty bad sign already.

Well, To access HBO GO℠, you must reside within the fifty states of the United States of America.

  HBO Nordic covers all of Scandinavia (and has been around for more than a year). They started out with an expensive monthly and less expensive 6-month subscription but have now a uniform monthly price of around USD 14/month. It's usable from various devices and supported TVs (e.g. newer Samsung series). http://hbonordic.com/how-to-watch-hbo http://hbonordic.com/how-to-watch-hbo

    Not sure about the other countries, but in Sweden it's $11/month (79 kr). Netflix is also 79 kr/month, and the (in practice) mandatory TV license which pays for (awesome!) public service is roughly twice as much at 173 kr/month. All have decent streaming services which covers the devices I care about. There is very little reason to pirate TV in Sweden today, I think the only major shows you can't get are AMC's.

  From the linked article: "This service will be offered in the United States and there are also plans to bring it overseas."

I canceled my Hulu+ subscription once they started telling me I wasn't allowed to watch shows on my iPad... The ENTIRE reason I signed up for it in the first place. I even put up with them still showing me ads, but "web only" shows were the last straw.
