MIght be cheaper to just buy season passes of your shows through iTunes. Event HBO Go requires a subscription through your cable provider.

I believe there are some modded AppleTVs that are capable of doing this. I am pretty sure that is why they are going for $300 on eBay. Apparently there is access to tons of content.
Other than that, would only be if you had a friend that has HBO service, and is subscribed to HBO GO, and is willing to let you freeload off of him. From my understanding, there is going to be an app on the PS3 and Xbox soon for HBO GO, similar to Netflix. |

Is it possible? I'm tired of paying $100 a month just to watch Boardwalk Empire and Game of Thrones. Maybe if you have a friend who'll give you their login to HBO Go. |

HBO Go should be streaming without the need for a cable company. I bet the cable companies were smart enough to prevent that from happening. It would really hurt sales if I could get HBO streamed to my Roku for just $10/mo without needing to pay the cable company $13 or so for regular HBO.

Do cable companies have to pay to carry HBO like they do other channels? |

Do cable companies have to pay to carry HBO like they do other channels? It's probably more of a cut of the action. I think my cable company charges like $12.95 for about 7 channels worth of HBO. My last company had over 10 channels for a similar price. I reckon...HBO gets $10, and the cable company gets $2.95 or something like that. But it's probably in the contract to NOT allow for streaming only...bypassing the cable company of their $2.95. |

I don't want to pay for stuff I don't want. Because you can get HBO for much less than $100 / mo that way. I know what you're saying about paying for stuff you don't want though. |
