Subscribing to HBO for GoT ?

[Deadlocked]

I will take what is mine with fire and blood.
Tell them that and maybe they will give you a discount. When I go to cancel online,it usually offers me a half price discount.
The only reason I don't have it with Dish now is because Directv offered me 40.00 off the premier pack for 6 months.

No half off for HBO

Ask DISH loyalty or Retention department for credits off of your bill or you will cancel. You should get at least $10.00 off for 6 months. Then you would only be paying $9.00 for HBO.

Scott posted that HBO will be available with SlingTV for $15, available on Roku and FireTV devices, in time for the GoT premier.

I haven't tried dish retention but have otherwise been told there's no current discount code available unfortunately.

It's definitely even more of a challenge now that the price is so high to get enough out of HBO to justify the price. I love Last Night Tonight but there's no way I'm keeping HBO year round just for that and occasionally taping movies.

I've run into the same thing from Mediacom. They are discounting almost everything in one way or another, but none on HBO.

Plus $20/month for SlingTV is $10 more per month than what he is currently complaining about.

I called to see if they would at least match the $15 hbo now price. The lady was very nice and after putting me on hold she came back on and offered me $10 off for 6 months. That should hopefully cover game of thrones and true detective plus the bonus of john oliver and vice

Exactly What I am talking about. Everything is negotiable now days, especially if they want to keep subs.

Yup. I was able to get Dish to discount my OH recovery fee from $0.22 to $0.19.

How did you pull that off lol. I spoke to 3 different agents and they wouldn't budge. They just want to bundle it with cinemax for $20; which is an amount I don't feel like adding to my bill right now. Last year i got it for $12.

They just offered a $10 credit on the bill, it appears... not necessarily a special towards HBO

 

[shadlom]

Oh i see.

With all this complaining about the price of HBO on Dish there is really one answer, for those with a Apple TV UNit drop it on Dish and get it on Apple, if you don't have a Apple unit wait the 3months when it will/should be on the Roku and Fire units, only then will Dish get the message.

Most of the Cable companies have figured it out, look at Comcast they added HBO Go to their basic Blast Package with local nets for $39.99 a month or if you add HBO to any Double/Triple Play package it is only $10 more a month.

I have read other Cable Companies doing the same, it is only a matter of time till Dish and DirecTV do the same.

Comcast has been doing this for well over a year now. As a matter of fact, if you look at their site, HBO is included in nearly every tv/internet package they offer.

This is why I've said that if you live in a Comcast area, why bother with stand alone HBO when you can get it with internet and some extra tv channels at not much higher a price than just for internet.

They are being even more aggressive now, if you agree to a new two year contract, you can get any premiums for $1 each, but you have to buy them in pairs, since my package included HBO, I was only able to get 2 more so I picked Showtime and Cinemax because I like the TV series that they both have.

On the 12th when HBO Now is available on Apple, I plan to sign up and dropping it on Dish. Not only will I get a month free, but I have $80 in iTunes credit from the in app purchase settlement.

That $80.00 will get you a few months of HBO Now for sure. I only hope that DISH will lower their price to match HBO Now.
