HBO/Cinemax Takedown

[PHXHoward]

Came to find out that Last Week Tonight doesn’t appear on “HBO Now” until a day later. It should be called “HBO Yesterday”.

This is ridiculous. They weren’t even losing money. We were paying the full $15 price at the time that they cut off our service.

I have tonight’s episode playing at 9:15PM PST. You may have to wait for the show to finish but it is there much earlier than tomorrow. Although it is tomorrow in the eastern time zone.

Cell service is not reliable everywhere. You must live in a bubble.

no i don't live in a bubble. but how many americans have given up there landlines over the years??

I live on the Northern Oregon Coast. Verizon is the best for cel service, but we only have a handful of cel phone towers and there are many weak or dead spots in moving in a vehicle especially. However where I live the cel phone service at the house is decent. There are many places along the Oregon Coast that the cel phone service drops off.

If you had a Fire stick or fire tv, you can stream HBO live. the only feed for West is missing. I hooked up with HBO through Amazon Prime and HBO Now comes along with it. Watched Real Time last night live off HBO 2. I missed the earlier broadcast. The Roku only has access to HBO Now. There is no live stream there, just on the Fire.

GoT is the ONLY thing I care about on HBO, I'll just buy it directly from HBO and stream it on HBO Go.

You have to get it off Amazon or HBO Now. HBO Go is only for satellite & cable subs.

It was available at midnight EST.

HBO GO vs. HBO NOW - Find Out The Difference Between Them | HBO NOW

Both services say they offer live streaming of new episodes. I’ve never tried it with HBO Go but I know when Now launches that was a big selling point for cord cutters.

Ok it did appear later in the night. It was not there when I checked after the episode aired and a Google search indicated that it would be posted the next day. Apparently they improved things a bit.

Thanks. I’ll check out the Amazon HBO channel on Fire TV next month after this month’s HBO Now subscription expires.

Getting back to this topic, I read somewhere that Dish has an HBO subscriber rate of around 20% and AT&T/HBO wants a subscriber minimum of 30%. If this is accurate, this would mean that Dish would have to pay AT&T/HBO for subscribers that don't exist.

While I suppose Dish could attempt to increase HBO subscribers by lowering the monthly cost for HBO, I can't see them doing that. It may be that Dish customers have seen the last of HBO via satellite.

Sounds a lot like around here, only difference is we call them hollers.

They're 'hollers' in the hills of Northwest Alabama too.

Or bring back the $10 special price

Do they do this in any other contracts? Did Amazon deal with them like this? Is this a common way for these deals?

Why don't they just have one price for all. SCOTUS ruled sometime back that the producer of a product can set the final retail price. If they need more money raise the price for all. We can decide if we want to pay for it.

Except hollers in 'Bama wouldn't be quite as deep as in WV.

Back in my earlier telephone man days I repaired payphones, stuck coins, broken internals, etc. I am reminded that a private payphone, say in a bar or a restaurant not the one on the street corner, came with a guaranteed usage minimum. The proprietor had to guarantee a certain amount of money out of the coinbox each month. If it didn't have enough money in it, the owner had to cough up the rest. It seems that AT&T is remembering that and want to use the same BS with HBO....

I remember pay phones, and phone booths. All gone the way of the dinosaurs. Probably satellite delivered television is going that way too.

I watched Friday's Real Time Saturday night on YouTube for free, and last night's Last Week Tonight is already up. What do I need a subscription for?
