HBO is BACK on DISH

[syphix]

I can’t believe it, but even though I have to get up at 5am tomorrow, I’m going to stay up and watch channel 102 at 11pm CDT tonight…

Just because.

I don't expect ordering to be available until the mid morning.

I am also hearing HBO / Cinemax will be on Sling TV as well, but not sure when its coming there. WOuldn't surprise me if its available tomorrow as well.

Yeah I'd expect the switch to be flipped 9 or 10 AM mountain time.

As when DISH launches any new product, usually on the first day, they have all kinds of problems. I would expect this launch to be no different.

Right now when I log into mydish there is an HBO Max Offer for me. Also available under Premium. $10 for Cinemax, $15 for HBO Max. The details of the offer says "Get six channels of HBO and all of the streaming content that HBO MAX has to offer for just $12 per month for 12 months." It doesn't look like Cinemax and HBO are together though, unless Cinemax is part of HBO Max?

I am only up because of the severe thunderstorms working their way through the Chicago area. I can't get signal on my satellite dish to see if they are in my EPG or not.

Just added the 20% off deal for HBO, showing up just fine.

And just to confirm - there is no Cinemax with HBO Max? They are two different products now?

HBO and Cinemax were separate on Dish before, always have been.

Pretty sure three was a $20 bundle offer before

 

[zippyfrog]

Yeah, sorry for my confusion on that. I meant that there was no combined deal for both of them - I did know that you could always get them as two separate products. That's the tiredness and only being up because of these thunderstorms

I like how streaming channels appear to be better integrated into the EPG. I’ve been thinking for a long time they should do this more.

Head's up on redeeming that HBO offer: it doesn't look like DISH is an available provider on HBO Max's website...yet...

So you can't use your DISH HBO subscription to get HBO Max...yet...

I would expect that to be resolved today.

Ahh woke up with HBO.

Wonder how you access this? And what if you already have a HBO Max subscription?

Random question now that I am seeing all these HBO pics - I have the 211k still so I don't get the VOD or stream channels. Would a Wally allow me to see "Stream" and "VOD" channels, or is that exclusive to the Hopper?

Doesn’t look like the Hopper 3 has an HBO Max app yet. Requires you to use a 3rd party smart device.

And HBO Max doesn’t allow DISH as a TV Provider yet. They haven’t woken up there this morning.

ALSO: no HBO on demand in the Dish Anywhere app or site yet.

I believe that is a Hopper only feature.
