Time Warner’s HBO Go service has been a big hit, and it’s helping to drive more viewers to the premium cable network. Building on that success, CEO Jeff Bewkes said on the company’s earnings call Wednesday morning that HBO’s TV Everywhere service would soon be available not just to web browsers and mobile devices, but on connected TVs and video game consoles.

The premium cable network initially rolled out a browser-based version of its HBO Go service in early 2010. Since then, HBO Go has expanded the amount of content available through the service, including every episode of every HBO original series. It’s also expanded availability of the service, releasing mobile apps for the iPhone, iPad and Android devices.

The mobile apps have been very successful so far, with Bewkes reporting that those apps have been downloaded more than 4 million times since their launch. And according to Bewkes, Time Warner’s research shows that HBO Go users watch even more of the network’s content than those who don’t take advantage of the service.

With that in mind, HBO is looking to extend the service to even more devices. Bewkes said that by including connected TVs and game consoles, HBO would follow some initiatives announced by Time Warner Cable and Comcast to build TV apps, but it would lead most programmers in making its content available on those devices.

funny, i actually asked someone today if you could use hbogo thru the browser on ps3

i assume you can't yet by reading this

Where did you get Time Warner? I have Time Warner cable and can't get hbo go yet.

Don't know, that was a press release.

I had HBO for free for about 3 years in my college apartment and it sucked ass.

I had it for 5 days in my hotel room in San antonio and it was freaking amazing.

I got it for 3 months free today signing up for direct tv but may keep it because their show lineup alone is awesome

You're welcome man. Did you get my email today?

It is worth it just for Sunday nights. No matter what time of year, there is at least one great show on Sundays.

Set a record this year 104 Emmy nominations this year. More than CBS and NBC combined at 96.
