Google just notched another big source of streaming video for Chromecast, with HBO Go support now available on iOS, Android, and the Web.
As with every other app that supports Chromecast, you don't have to do much to get HBO Go streaming on your television. As long as the $35 dongle is plugged into your TV and on the same Wi-Fi network as your phone or tablet, the Chromecast icon should automatically appear at the top of the app. Tap the icon and browse for videos like you normally would, and your selection quickly pops up on the television.
Of course, you need a subscription to HBO Go through your television provider to stream videos in the first place.
In a quick test on an iPad mini and Nexus 7, the app worked in predictable fashion, though there was an occasional bug on the iOS version where the Chromecast icon would disappear during streaming, requiring a relaunch of the app.
