HBO Go and ESPN Now Available on Apple TV

As , HBO Go is indeed coming to Apple TV, effective Wednesday. Apple announced that WatchESPN and content from an assortment of other streaming providers are now available on the device as well.

Apple TV owners — at least, those with subscriptions to HBO and ESPN — have been able to stream content from those networks using iPhone or iPad devices (and AirPlay) for some time. The new integration simply saves them the need to pull out a secondary device.

For Apple, the deals offer the company a slight advantage over its competitors, including Roku, which doesn't have access to ESPN, as well as Playstation 3, which doesn't have access to HBO Go. However, ESPN and HBO Go are already available on the Xbox.
