As expected, subscribers to HBO GO did not take the move well. Many were left in the dark as they were unaware of the company’s decision to discontinue the Live TV feature, while others expressed their disappointment in the removal. Some are even considering cancelling their subscription from the platform, arguing that the feature has been the main reason for them to use the streaming service. Interestingly, HBO may have something new on the horizon, as pointed out by a user Meyoko1013 on Reddit. In a reply to the user via an email, the company’s customer service wrote “We understand that this change may bring about some disappointment, but we have an exciting alternative for you.” However, it appears that the reply ended abruptly as HBO did not clarify further regarding the supposed “alternative” which it plans to offer.
It is also possible that it may be referring to the on-demand content that was mentioned earlier rather than an upcoming feature. Nevertheless, best to keep an eye out for any new developments surrounding HBO GO in the near future – that is, if you’re still planning to stick around the service after all of this.
