Just in time for a slew of season premieres this Sunday (including Game of Thrones, Silicon Valley, and Veep), HBO has launched their highly-anticipated stand alone streaming platform, HBO NOW.

The platform has launched to accommodate cable cord-cutters who still want to keep up with the premium cable channel’s award-winning content. HBO NOW will have the same amenities as HBO Go — which includes all of their past and present series, documentaries, sports specials, and late night programming — as of now (no pun intended), it’s available only on iOS products/Apple TV and Cablevision’s Optimum Online. In addition to HBO original programming, HBO NOW will also feature newly acquired movies every month. Currently, the service is running $14.99/month (although HBO is offering a free 30-day trial).

To help you get to know the service a little bit better before you delve in, here’s a breakdown of the fine print:

Like HBO Go, you’re free to share your password with whomever you please — college kids, rejoice!
Series episodes and movies will still be made instantly available as they broadcast on HBO.
There isn’t a limit to how many devices you can run HBO NOW on simultaneously.
Android compatibility is “coming soon” according to the website, but as of now there’s no set date.

HBO’s newsman John Oliver of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver also gives a quick low down on some of the perks of having HBO NOW.
