Now, if only Dish would add the YouTube app to the Hopper Duo and Wally, so I could watch through my Dish receivers.Anyone who still does want to watch Bill Maher, or John Oliver for that matter...neither one's episodes are too terribly hard to find on YouTube over the following week or so.
Possible I suppose, but unlikely in my opinion. I think it more likely the Welcome pack increases were just a two step process to bring the price in line with its costs and expected profit margin.
I loved the little square program guide -- I think it was just called "Premium" -- that came in with our cable bill every month. It had listings for Showtime and HBO, and later added Cinemax too. Back then, they all played mostly the same movies, with each having a few exclusives here and there. Seems like the back cover would preview the biggest movies coming the following month.
The guide I remember was mid to late 80’s. One channel that played the same movie all day. $7.00 a month
The TV Guide mag that my parents bought at the store every week (for 15 cents!) had HBO listings in it...I think that was around 1964-65. Eventually it went up to 25 cents, then 50 cents, then a buck sometime in the late 70s, or was it a $1.25? I started using online listings in the early 2000s (around 2005ish) and have been using TitanTV now for about 7-8 years. I'd sub to TitanTV if they offered a yearly rate or a donation page (I block their ads with Adblocker because the page update takes a lot longer with all the ads and videos they stuff in it, not to mention the bandwidth the video ads eat up)...
He's a moron because you do not like his humor ?
Bill Maher is the main reason I subscribe to HBO. Nothing to do with politics. Just a smart, well-rounded, well-produced show.

He is a moron with no political balance. Just a Leftist biased position.
All politicians are due some satire. What I don't like about Maher is that if he doesn't like what a guest is saying he stops them, or worse puts them up to shame with the audience. Whenever he does that, I lose the all desire to watch him. I haven't tried watching in a long time.

I watch every week and I haven't seen him do that. I have seen him respond in a humorous and snarky manner, but that's just his brand of comedy.
I despise him as well. Although he does have the occasional conservative position. Such as being wary of radical Islam, or to try not being too politically correct.
Please take your political crap to the Pit.
and that is not just aimed at Tommyy2!
Guys, political discussion is not allowed outside of the pit. Please do not continue with that part of the discussion in this thread.
I noticed no one seemed to have any issue with posts condemning Mahr for his politics such as "He is a moron with no political balance. Just a Leftist biased position." Only after my post does "No Political Posts" allowed get popular.
Makes me wonder why.
Just a point to ponder.
And that is why I mentioned that you weren’t the only person involved. Staff is warning everyone, not just you.
I called no person out. It was a general warning and reminder that no politics outside the pit is a forum rule.
Now again, if any member wants to discuss politics on this site, Scott has a section just for that. This one is not it.
So please move on.
Believe me, if this site had a "Dislike" button available, I would have been using it for those posts. And I will leave it at that.
