I'm not sure exactly when they did it. I know they made the announcement back in January. But, I had checked a number of times since then, without any improvement to the standard HBO OnDemand lineup. However, when I checked again last night, I saw what appeared to be a full selection of all HBO series, including ones no longer being shown, with all episodes going back to the first season.
I'm not sure why they chose to do it this way, as opposed to simply adding an HBO GO app, which would probably have been easier for them to implement, and somewhat easier for the user to navigate. But, I'm very glad they are doing it this way, as these recordings include closed captioning, which HBO GO does not.
There is also a huge selection of movies, fwiw.
Way to go, Dish! But, next time you may want to tell your customers you have done this. (As opposed to announcing you will be doing it, seven months beforehand, and saying nothing since then.)
OTOH, this expanded HBO OnDemand is not unique to Dish. DirecTV implemented this a week or so ago, as well.
