They are available immediately on the streaming side. As an example, during the last season of GOT if an episode started on the pacific coast a 6PM I would access HBO-Go at 6:01PM and it was there. You can do the same thing with HBO Now. It is only the live stuff, like Real Time and the former Boxing that usually is available the next day.Yeah, I've watched some older series on demand before HBO was taken off. I just wonder how soon after a season ends before they are available on the streaming side. If they don't come back I guess I'll just come back here and ask after the GOT season ends.
I would guess they're pretty immediate, since each episode while that season is running is available within a few hours. I was talking about watching on Amazon Prime/HBO, not on Dish On-Demand
Using Amazon Prime and HBO I can report that I did watch Bill Maher last night live as it aired. There are also other live version channels too for HBO. I used the 4K Roku stick with HDR to view it. That being said last night the episode of Real time with Bill Maher was a bit jerky. There was no smooth movement of people when they moved. Like there was frames missing. I was not impressed with the quality at all and I have spectrum cable with 100 Mpbs. I would think that HBO would stream as good as Netflix does but not last night. Even Hbo on DISH looked better than this show. Haven’t tried to watch other movies over the live channel versions. I do know that there are No live Hbo channels on HBO now when I had it before.
True Detective is really good. I just watched the 1st three episodes today. It's outstanding!Thanks, that's why I'll just wait for the season to end. Already have Amazon Prime so just get HBO for a month and watch GOT. Since they dropped boxing there's not much else I care about on HBO. Maybe True Detective if its more like the first season. A month should cover both shows sometime next summer.
Think I'm about to hit my breaking point here. There seems to be no end in sight for Dish or HBO to stop acting like babies and put the damn channel back on. Crashing started on HBO tonight and John Oliver starts next month. Dish and HBO are proving to be as mature as the morons we call congress at the moment.
Contract ends in May. I have 3 months to test out the streaming services and get an OTA DVR solution setup.
Or, you know, Dish could actually deliver HBO to those additional subscribers, since Dish would be paying for them anyway. That way, they would not be non-existent subscribers.How many extra non-existent subscribers are you willing to pay for so Dish will meet HBO's demands?

I think Dish already did exactly that.Or, you know, DISH could actually tell ATT to stick HBO where the sun don't shine and then none of their customers would have to pay for it.
For some reason Real Time live on the Fire Stick is a bit jerky. But if you wait and watch it on Demand, that is not jerky. The Jerkiness seems to be only on Real Time live. I checked other HBO channels live and they did not seem to have that issue.
And who would be paying Dish?Or, you know, Dish could actually deliver HBO to those additional subscribers, since Dish would be paying for them anyway. That way, they would not be non-existent subscribers.
I never watch anything live, anyhow, so in the long run, waiting an hour or so is no big dealI found it to be rather choppy too. Not terrible but it was noticeable. Most likely this is because there is no recording buffer at all. Just a live feed so frames get dropped whenever they don’t get to you in time. Also means no pause or rewind so overall inferior to what we had through Dish.
That would be up to Dish to decide whether it is worth the cost to include HBO in the packages, which would then get passed on as part of the cost of the regular packages. It works for motels, advertising "free HBO" on their sign to get people to stay there. Dish could do the same thing, but we all know that the cost is actually getting passed on to us, one way or another.And who would be paying Dish?
Nope, not as long as I could get it for $15 over the internet...If Dish offered HBO again, would anyone pay more than 15 a month?

I thought about posting something similar in response to MikeD-C05's post that started that discussion, but I resisted the urge.Maybe because Bill Maher is a jerk?
I wouldn't take it back. Mostly I had it for Boxing and I think HBO really dropped the ball by dropping Boxing. They were the best at it. Everything else I watch is seasonal and I can just stream it, like most people are doing in here, apparentlyIf Dish offered HBO again, would anyone pay more than 15 a month?
