Fios not an option for sign-in

When I try to sign in to HBO GO it says I need to sign in through my internet service provider, but they do not have Fios listed at all.  What gives?

When I use the app on my Android phone, I scroll down and Verizon FIOS is on the list.

Two possibilities. First Verizon Fios may not offer that ability, or Fios is listed under a different provider. Your login would be your account name and account password.

you can call 1-800-VERIZON and speak to a customer rep and find out.

Good Luck

Sure it does ... on mine it's bottom of the third column on the providers listing (Verizon with a red check mark).  There's no specific "FiOS" entry.

Since I don't use cable or fios for tv I did not notice it. And when I scan on HBO Go its just a continous list in alphabet order. DirectTvNow is right there first. Which is what I use.

I use HBOGO with no issue.

When I go to hbogo.com and click on upper right hand sign in I get this:image

Do you not get this page?

No I don't sign in through hbogo.com I use the HBOGo app on my iPads and Apple TV and iPhones and Roku devices. I have no need to access through my desktop or tablets. Then again it's the original poster that has the issue.

Bingo! I scroll down but do not click as page after page. And there is a Verizon listing.

but I prefer DirectTVNOW because of the lower cost ( I cut the cord years ago from cable) $35 a month, no taxes and fees, no cost increases and over 120 stations+ and free HBO for a year. Then $5 extra a month there after. Was reading at the forum a new DVR feature is coming soon for free.
