I'm trying to use Directv and HBO Go on my new Ubuntu 16.04 LTS but both sites are not letting me watch shows. What can I do to watch these shows. What do I need to download? Someone help.

What browser are you using? I do know that Google Chrome, not Chromium, is the only browser so far to work with Netfix.

This link at DirectTV shows Windows and/or Mac OSX as supported OS but not Linux.

HBO Go has these possibilities.

I'm using Netflix using chrome. That is running great. How do I use Directv or HBOgo with Ubuntu 16.04? Thanks for the Netflix tip!

I don't have an answer for you, but I noticed that you started this thread over a year ago. Have you found a solution since then?

Hi,

OP's last activity here at LQ was 06-11-16 16:17. One reason not to resurrect necro post/threads is that some members do not show up or have activity to answer a reply.

Depending on your browser and required plugins available for your Gnu/Linux most will provide the necessary plugins to allow you to view some services via a specific browser.

You have not contributed information to allow anyone to answer a possible solution.

Hope this helps.
Have fun & enjoy!
