Windows XP Home Edition SP3
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:13.0) Gecko/20120604 SeaMonkey/2.10
Flash 11.3 r300(257) (11.3.300.257)

It works for me.  Is it possible you have FlashBlock enabled?  When I
first go to <http://www.hbogo.com>, most of my browser window is filled
with a Flash presentation.

Have you tried going to <http://www.hbogo.com> in Safe Mode?

When I go to <http://www.hbo.com> instead of <http://www.hbogo.com>, I
get redirected to
<http://www.hbo.com/html/error/browser_message_e.html?return=http://www.hbo.com/>,
which is a page with the following under the HBO logo:

The next-to-last line above has a checkbox.  I had to type the last line
above manually; it's actually an image that is a link.  When I selected
that link, I got the actual <http://www.hbo.com/>, again with a very
large Flash presentation.

Notice that HBO is still touting Firefox 4.0 and IE7!!

When I spoof Firefox 13.0, I go directly to <http://www.hbo.com/>
without any redirection to
<http://www.hbo.com/html/error/browser_message_e.html?return=http://www.hbo.com/>.
 That raises the question:  Have you disabled "Advertise Firefox
compatibility" (as I have done)?
