HBO OnDemand - add previous season to the listing

Is it possible to get the previous seasons episodes listed in HBO OnDemand?

 

I know those episodes are available online. But I don't want to watch them on computer. I want to watch them on my TV.

 

Thanks

thats up to hbo and contracts between them and comcast.  Hbo would probably not do that as they want you to go buy the dvd of the old season to watch it.  Its in their best interest to do it that way if you think about it from their standpoint, if they put everything they have on demand who would buy the dvd?

It looks like what we see on HBO OD is what's made available by HBO and that's goes with online only programs as well. HBO GO does have all seasons available to watch but online only. Maybe comcast doesn't have any control on it.

 

For HBO subscribers, I think HBO should made available all seasons on HBO OD so people can watch them on TV.

You are correct.  Comcast has no control over what is on demand, how long it stays, nothing.  They have agreements for the online shows vs the actual on your tv on demand.  You get more with hbo online and hbo go because most people don't want to watch tv on their computer.  what you can do if you have a lap top is connect it to your tv and send the picture out to the tv and watch it that way.  i do agree that if you are a subscriber you should be able to watch the shows.  If you have an ipad or iphone you can watch through there also.

It seems another option is using Roku media player which supports HBO GO
