Go and now were separate products from Max. They required you to have a cable/satellite service with HVO add on in order to log in.

Go was the one connected to a cable subscription. Now was the cable-free subscription.

I'm pretty sure we had HBO Now with no TV service for the last season or two of GoT

As I recall, Go was the add-on to TV service, and Now was the standalone. Although the names were kinda dumb, it was good that they had two different names.

Wait, HBO stands for Home Box Office? They've had a perfect name for streaming this whole time! Lol

Back in the days when cable/satellite was new and they were bringing you unedited movies from the theater, before they even were released on VHS often. Of course there weren’t thousands of viewers using this as a way to increase their VHS collection for one low monthly fee by recording the channel…
