Aside: I'm a big fan of HBO's content but their app is really poor quality. Playback frequently is unable to start or halts midstream. I've noticed this on distinct devices (android, AppleTV). DRM run amok? I don't know but you would think making playback work consistently would be near the top of their list.

It's gotten slightly better over the last year or so. But it still happens way more often than it should.
