HBO launches official YouTube channel

Get set, HBO fans, as the content (some of it, at least) you know and love is now available on the world's most overly populated video sharing site. Shortly after announcing HBO on Broadband, the network is branching out even further by inking a deal with YouTube to provide "select promotional content on HBO's new branded YouTube channel." Starting today, videos from Flight of the Conchords, The Wire, Def Comedy Jam, Real Time with Bill Maher, Real Sports, Extras, Stand Up Comedy, Habla y Habla and Entourage will be available for viewing, while full-length clips from In Treatment will also be offered up. Now, if only YouTube would get with the program and go high-def, we'd really be satisfied.

Yeah, it'd be heaven if YouTube went HD. I'm sick of my friends trying to get me to watch stupid SD clips.

Oh man, your friends are so stupid. Why would they subject you to watch such low def content?

Um... Says they joined a year ago.

So why is this posted on Engadget HD? It's like you took a post completely unrelated to HD, and tried to make it relevant. When I come to Engadget HD, I expect HD, not "gee, i really wish this standard definition content was high definition."

"full-length clips" Isn't that an oxymoron?
