I suppose anything is possible. In fact, I had already speculated earlier that if HBO does return to Dish receivers, it may return as an app only, and save the satellite bandwidth. Also, in such an arrangement, HBO would presumably handle the billing directly, which as someone else pointed out is likely what HBO would prefer, since HBO would get to keep more of the money that way.
I’m not replying to any post, but does anyone know how the Amazon billing cycle works for HBO? Preparation for the Binge
I signed up the day of the first new GOT. I did it through a smart TV. I was prompted for my PIN, which I entered. Yesterday, the card I normally use with Amazon was charged $16.04.
If you complete your binge in 15 days or less, you can cancel and shouldn't be charged anything.
As a loyal Dish customer and long time HBO subscriber I refuse to sign up for HBO GO. That's just helping HBO and not supporting Dish.
It's like Charlie said, anybody can search the net and find out how to watch HBO shows without paying HBO.

It looks like Dish is continuing to add these in waves. Hartford, CT just got their affiliate added today.
Could it be related to delays in getting the individual station's paperwork in hand agreeing to the new terms?
Dish does have different contracts for locals that with Univision directly, I am sure. Probably that was at least part of the delay.
That is possible, or it could have been technical difficulties with getting a good quality signal from those stations to Dish's local reception facility or uplink center, that needed to be resolved before Dish could make the stations available. Without a public statement from either party, it is hard to tell what the reason for the delay could have been.
I just wanted to make sure Charlie wasn't encouraging it. He wasn't. But his statement is pure fact.

HBO GO requires a Pay TV Subscription to work, so you couldn't sign up for it as a loyal Dish subscriber since you need an HBO subscription. What you're thinking of HBO Now, which is independent of the Pay TV Providers.
As a loyal Dish customer, I signed up for HBOGo.. just used my parents info from Cox. No HBO money for ATT.
The problem is, HBO probably has to have their programmers port the app to various operating systems. They'd have to do it and Dish might have to pay them, depending on which party wants it done.

This is the part that many people don't get, the content provider (AKA HBO/ESPN/NetFlix) develops the app to be loaded on the hardware not the hardware vendor (AKA Dish/Roku/Sony). Sometimes the hardware vendor will pay the content provider to develop the app BUT it is still the content provider that is in charge of the development. So its not just a simple "Hey Dish add service X to the Hopper", the content provider has to cooperate to get it done and ATT/HBO definitely isn't cooperating at the moment.
Well, even opening up the YouTube app to all receivers that could possibly support it (Hopper Duo and/or Wally) would help with shows such as Real Time With Bill Maher and Last Week Tonight With John Oliver.

Have you complained to HBO/AT&T about their negotiating tactics? How many non-existent HBO subscribers are you willing to pay for to bring it back?
