After running my latest update to my ATV2 last night, I let the system go untouched after watching some SkyTV. I was prepared to be met by a brick wall when I tried to watch HBO Go on it about 15 minutes ago, given the fact that so many DTV users were reporting failures to watch. However, I was met by a screen presenting me with a 6 letter activation code which I could take to hbogo.com/activate and activate my device.
I figured it was worth a shot, right? Maybe all the hellraising DTV customers had done some good. So, I went to the address, and on it was a screen ful of participating partners. I clicked the DirecTV icon, and I entered our DTV account and password, and boom, sure enough, the page thanked me for activating my ATV.
Further, back on my ATV screen, it had changed to say that my attempt to activate was successful.
So, yes kiddies, it seems like our long national winter is over! I'm now watching The Dark Knight Rises on HBOGo natively on my ATV2.
Thought I'd share the good news!
