HBO's website was no match for the White Walkers on Sunday night.
The cable network's main website, HBO.com, was down during the seventh-season premiere of Game of Thrones. People who attempted to go to the website were met with an error message saying there was a problem loading the page. But the website returned to working order during the final half of the episode's East Coast premiere.
HBO Now, the network's over-the-top video streaming service, also wasn't loading for some viewers during the first half of the episode, which becomes available for all viewers at the same time regardless of the time zone.
