$10 HBO going away???

[David Taylor]

Guys,

I've been on the HBO $10/month promotion for YEARS. It was supposed to be a "forever" deal as far as I know. However, I just got notified via email today that it is expiring in 3 months. Did anyone else get this email? Does anyone have any verbiage from the deal that talks about an expiration date?

I just got the same email.

Yeah...not sure if this is the exact same $10 deal situation, but quite a few people have reported it:

$10 HBO Ending ?

HBO has new owners now... and they need to pay for the deal somehow.

Its a shame the the same new owner also owns DIRECTV as well.

There never was an ending date unlike the normal 3 month or 6 month deals that come around. That is not the same as it being forever. We here called it that.

More a shame the Court allowed the merger with no stipulations.

More than a shame, it was unbelievable! I wonder why the government didn't appeal that ridiculous decision.

Somebody got a much better deal than $10 HBO

We'd better do what they say. They own a Death Star.

Looks like the DOJ is reading our suggestions:

Justice Department appeals Time Warner-AT&T merger approval

Yep, they were waiting to get our input before going forward.

And that was very smart of them.

When I was offered and accepted the deal, it was referred to as "for life"

I finished watching Westworld and canceled the $10/month offer 3 months ahead of the termination of the deal. HBO aid getting whacked by Netflix, HULU and Amazon and continues to bleed subs like all the other old school content providers. I can't imagine how not offering this deal helps that. But AT&T has already begun putting the hammer down on them to change the way they offer their programming.

They didn't say who's life.

They didn't say who's life.

...or whether there was a possibility of parole.

Life of the offered service.
