I agree. My Showtime deal just expired and I won't renew at the regular price, until Homeland and Dexter return.Showtime isn't worth it unless Homeland is on imo
Unless you are a boxing fan, HBO is now way overpriced too. There are many new options and the so-called premiums should start to worry.
Amen I got Showtime for Strikeforce and Homeland not that Strikeforce is gone for good and Homeland is off I will cancel until it comes back on
Yep...for me fall. Dexter and Homeland. In the last 4 months I've had it half price, I have recorded only two of their mostly "obscure" movies. BUT, in actuality, their mostly indie films are much better and newer than IFC.
The shows that I liked on Showtime were Penn and Teller Bullsh!t and the Green Room with Paul Provenza. But I'm just ending Cinemax for half off. I think I'll pass on Showtime, but you never know.
If you subscribe to HBO it is like getting SHO at a discount since the 2 for 26 compared with just HBO for $18.
Logon to MyDish, go to My Programming, and start the process for removing Showtime. A message will pop up offering you six months at half price. The same thing will happen for HBO, and from what I understand, Starz and Max, too.
If you attempt to cancel BB@H, an offer for $5 of for 6 months will pop up, which is the same as half price.
Phone calls, chats, and PM's to DIRT shouldn't be necessary for any of the above, unless things have changed in the last couple of weeks.
I still really use premiums for movies. So the way I decide my subscription services is through seeing how much I can get for the least amount. Dish makes it easy. I can axe off Showtime and Starz, because AT 250 provides The Movie Channel and Encore. With BB@Home I get Epix, so that leaves the HBO/Cinemax gap. I usually look for offers on Cinemax (unless there's a really good discount on HBO) because it's vastly cheaper than HBO. What I am really looking for is the Roku to add MAXGO and Showtime Anytime. Then I will use my parents Verizon account for the two of those.
Confirmed, this still works today. Note if you have HBO and Showtime, doing this will disconnect the two, and leave you with a smaller net credit than what you expect since HBO + Showtime has a lower price combined than subscribing to the two separately. Doing this 1/2 off for Showtime breaks the two apart again. Still saves a few dollars per month.
I've watched a few movies since activating it and like it so the boxing is the icing on the cake for me.
