HBO now $18?

[rajmarie]

I have hbo for mostly series. Currently it's at half price. I don't think I pay full price but don't know when GOT season will start. That plus homeland are the 2 best shows IMO right now on premium tv.



I guess next year I will have to start jumping from one premium to another when needed to save money.

I get all the movie channels as part of the everything package so I didn't see an increase. I love using my Roku to watch HBOgo so I can watch Band of Brothers whenever I want. I can rewatch Eastbound and Down again too.

I remember paying $10/month for ONE HBO channel back in the 1970s.

An idea: if HBO has programming you like, try subscribing to it only for the season finale, then you'll likely get a marathon of the season and save money.

You make a good point. For $18/month, you get nine channels, plus on demand, plus HBO GO. Not a bad deal, really, if you like what they offer.

Not as much of a good point. Back then there were very very few channels. Movies on OTA television were far and few in between. Granted, $10 in the 70's probably equates to a much higher number now, but it was a very rare service.

These days, many many channels offers movies. The quality of HBO programming is very high, but $18 a month is a bit steep. You get HBOGO, which makes your dollar travel much further, but still... it is a bit to pay for the same movies on how many ever channels you get with HBO. The repetition isn't as bad as Epix, but there are a limited number of movies. Of course, I've been finding that most channels are unwatchable these days. It seems like its HBO, Cartoon, Hub, Boomerang, FSC, TCM, or nothing.
