Can’t get HBO Now to work on my Apple TV or my computer. How will I watch “Game of Thrones”? ---

IS HBO Now for people who just bought HBO ala carte? I have HBO Go, because I have HBO through my cable provider, but for some reason it hasn’t been working on my smart TV the last few weeks. Sorry I couldn’t help, just thought I’d add that in case others are having a similar problem. ---

Yes, HBO Now is the a la cart service. I watched last week’s episode with no problems. ---

A friend on Facebook posted an angry “Damn you, HBO Now!” So I imagine it went down for a lot of people. ---

I ended up watching it on my phone in bed. I guess it was working by then. ---

I thought I read somewhere that it frequently goes down when Game Of Thrones is on because of the high demand at that time.
