I'm very excited about this! Going to pick up the HDMI connector today so I can plug it into my TV tonight. Already have the spare HDMI connected and ready to go! 
I recall when HBO Go was first mentioned over a year ago in USA Today, it mentioned Time Warner Cable as being the initial provider for the service. When I tried to access it on my computer, it would not work and I found that my LOCAL Time Warner business was not one of the participating TWC outfits.
Now with the app today I see there is no Time Warner Cable listed at all. Same with the web version. That stinks to high heaven.

Wow they have all the episodes of The Wire and Band of Brothers. But I can't watch anything over 3G.
Thanks for the heads up!
Why can't you watch anything over 3G?
I keep getting an error when the video is about to play saying that there's a problem and they are going to fix it. I haven't tried Wifi yet. Has anyone had success? I imagine their servers are getting pounded.

Is that different than the Component AV cable? I didn't know they made a HDMI version.
Ahh I gotcha. I watched a bit of Boardwalk Empire over 3G just to test it out and it worked great. Video was crisp. But you're right about their servers getting pounded. Hopefully when things calm down it will work the way it's supposed to for everyone.
Yeah, it's different. I wouldn't swear to it, but I think it's a new accessory for the iPad 2. But it works with the old iPad, iPhone 4 and 4th generation Touch.
I just picked one up at Best Buy this afternoon. Here's the information if you're interested.
I also tried it with 3G earlier. It looked just ok on my iPhone 4, but here at work we have absolutely horrid 3G service. After 30 seconds it errored and just played the audio. But it looked fantastic on wi-fi!
I was quite disappointed to learn the app doesn't support TV out. Hopefully that will be addressed in the next update. Sounds plays on the TV, but there's no video. Just a big HBO Go logo.
That's odd because I don't see Comcast as an option for cable providers... care to shed some light?
Whenever I try to login on my iPhone by selecting xfinity/comcast, it says, "Signin Error Could not connect to the server." Works fine on my iPad. Strange.
