With the internet at its fingertips, you would think so.

Alas, you can’t order Game of Thrones via HBO Go (shame! shame!) ditto anything from Amazon Video (shocking!). On the audio end, you can enjoy your Spotify, Pandora, iHeartRadio, or Google Play Music accounts on tap. Then you can queue up video from Netflix or YouTube plus any shows or movies you’ve scored from the Google Play Store. Home’s smartphone app lets you pair the device with various streaming accounts so you can voice-control them.
