Is Dish the cheapest way to get HBO?

[Tecmo SB Guy]

Just wondering for those who have experience with other providers besides Dish, is Dish Network the cheapest way to get HBO?

Welcome Pack (minimum package) = $19.99
HBO = $18.00
Total = $37.99

I mean compared to Direct TV, UVerse, Charter and all the others.

I never realized I was paying $18 for HBO until you posted that LOL. Ouch...

I actually looked into this myself one time. And as far as I could tell, yes this was the cheapest way to get HBO.

Unless something has changed somewhere, yes this is the cheapest way to go.

Should I cast out the low-price-leader line and see how many fish bite?

You can get HBO for 1/2 price for 6 months. Just contact dish.

Anyone know how long Dish will be offering the 1/2 off for 6 months promo? Is there an end date?

 

[ctrenkamp]

I am on my 2nd go round on the 1/2 off for 6 months.

 

[Mochuf]

Would Dish still offer 1/2 price HBO to Welcome Package subs?

That is a RUDE and INSULTING remark that doesn't belong on Satellitgesguys. This is supposed to be a friendly and helpful site.

I agree. Squeezon, go fly a kite. Dish offer promotions for their customers to keep them happy. Its not our problem that you pay full price.

 

[krauser1]

Oh. I just saw a half price commercial as I posted that. Why don't you go cry to them about your loyalty. They have a department for that.

I would say by far Dish will be the least expensive way to get HBO, and by the way HBO GO on computer, tablet, smartphone, Roku, etc.... And if you can get 1/2 price even if you have the Welcome package, wow that's quite good.

Squeezon has been a real jerk lately with his replies to anyone wanting to get deals and save money.

Squeezon, don't you understand that it's the providers who set-up this game? If they weren't willing to offer deals, customers wouldn't get them in the first place. Boo hoo, so you aren't willing to play the game, leave the people who do alone.

I have to think the premium movie channels provide at least some of the discount to help get people to subscribe. I believe that's how I first subscribed to HBO years ago, it was free or something, found I really liked it and kept it.

I thought my deleted response to the nuked post was pretty clever.
