Not sure why HBO sees a need to call its channel something different, for every
site that carries it. All the story says is that HBO online will be available
also to Sling customers, in a few days. HBO Go, HBO Now, and now this HBO
Sling, appear to be quite similar, from a customer's point of view. Not sure
how the edge server structure is architected. That would be the more
interesting aspect of this, IMO.

I saw an article somewhere that described how HBO dropped plans for its own
direct offering of HBO online, opting instead to go through other partners
only. No time to ferret it out right now. This apparently caused the exec who
was working that option at HBO to quit.
