I don't think the thing about only being able to subscribe through Apple devices is true... it says on the HBO now website that you can subscribe through itunes.
How do I get HBO NOW℠ and access content? You can subscribe to HBO NOW℠ using your iTunes account. Customers can access HBO NOW℠ by going to HBONOW.com, through AppleTV® or by downloading the HBO NOW℠ app in the Apple App Store®.
