Just wondering whether there are any current offers on HBO. I never see anything under offers in my account.

No half off offers?There are a couple - $ 5 off so $ 14 instead of $ 19 for 6 months. Also they recently started pimping HBO/Cinemax two pack for $ 20 - essentially HBO at full price and Cinemax for a buck more, also for 6 months. HBO seems to be the only premium without a 3-month free "try out" for existing customers.

Heck, at half off, HBO is pretty expensive (to a cheapo like me... though it'd be cheaper than buying the discs).Not anymore - those went the way of the dodo back in Feb, I think.

Got lucky last free preview. They had On Demand available and I was able to download the entire third season of Game of Thrones on demand and watch it within a week after the preview ended and before the downloads expired. I felt a little guilty, but if they put it out there, it is on them. Thanks HBO.It's definitely overpriced. If you're not the type who just HAS to see things as soon as they're aired (and you have a decent internet connection) it makes sense just to sub a month here and there and catch up via HBO Go.

Yep, I'll be looking for a deal once Game of Thrones starts up. I'll use HBO Go to watch True Detective, Game of Thrones, Eastbound and Down, Silicon Valley, and Veep. They have made HBO Go so good that I think it makes the most sense to just pick your favorite HBO show and subscribe during that show's season. You easily can catch up on everything else you missed over the year while just paying for a couple months.
If you really have time for some binge watching you could just wait until the last month of your favorite HBO show and try to get by paying for just one month each year.
using a roku box? Might be out of luck. Thought you couldnt use the app on roku if you try to authenticate through comcastI'm having Comcast Internet installed. Only Internet, no TV or Phone. When I was working out the deal wight he CSR they offered unpublished package of HBO-GO + Streampix for +$5/mo @12 months to the internet only package. They were also comping installation when you get the HBO package vs $49 for install. Not sure what the non-promo price is, but I would guess a lot less than the $19/mo Dish wants. I'm told this promotion is market based, so YMMV. My experience was they really started buttering you up with discounts when I told them I had existing satellite service with time left on the contract. I think they really wanted to get their foot in the door.

But don't you have to subscribe to HBO to get the HBO Go to work?

That's the thing. If HBO was willing to make HBO GO a separate subcription for subs to don't need HBO on TV, it would be a win-win for everybody. And HBO could and probably should lower the price for subs who just want HBO on TV.But don't you have to subscribe to HBO to get the HBO Go to work?
