Odd problem with accessing HBO Go...

I was able to use HBO Go without issue on my PC at home (logged into Verizon Fios, created my HBO Go user name, watched shows, all that).  However, my wife has been unable to use HBO Go on her Apple laptop. 

When she opens up the HBO Go page, she clicks on the sign in button.  This brings up the window where you choose your provider (she selects Verizon Fios).  This brings up a small Verizon Fios sign in window.  She enters our login information.  So far, this is exactly what happens when I log into HBO Go from my PC.  This is where things change.

For me, on my PC, the small Verizon Fios window closes and I am up and running in HBO Go.  For my wife, the small window remains in place and brings her to our Verizon home page.  The window is still very small, and we see no way to expand it.  Even if we could expand it, I have no idea what we would be looking for.  We can still see the HBO Go main page in the background (fully expanded), but it is greyed out a bit, and we cannot interact with it.  All we can do is try to click around on the tiny Verizon page.

Any thoughts?  Very frustrating!

1:   Are you both using the same signon, or is she using a subaccount?

2:   Are you both using the same browser?

Hello jackmcgann,

1.  We are both using the same Verizon Fios sign-on, but not at the same time. 

2.  Forgive my lack of tech here - she is using an Apple laptop with the Safari application I think.  I am using the standard interenet explorer on my PC.  If I completely missed your question, my apologies.

Thanks for your reply!

I have had this problem always. I was previously able to get around it by going throuhg the HBOGo link on the Verizon website, but this has not worked since the Verizon redesign. I use an Apple Mac with the latest OS and Chrome. I can log in on my iPad but not on my laptop, which is dumb because I would like to be able to access HBOGo from any device.
