We have already discussed sharing access to various music, film and streaming services in one of our previous articles .

However, HBO GO explicitly states in its official terms and conditions that you can share your access details to the service with members of your family and other close people with whom you share a household - so you do not need to be afraid to share the password to your HBO GO account with your roommate.
