Re: HBO NOW
I must be one of the few people that couldn't care less about HBO. I pay a load extra a month for it just so the wife can watch Game Of Thrones for 8 weeks of the year and I can watch John Oliver. Other than that, i never watch it.

Re: HBO NOW
HBO is the only American channel I watch.
Network TV is disastrous here.

Re: HBO NOW
No you're not. We don't have it, and have no need/desire for it. Netflix and Amazon Prime give us pretty much everything we want, which isn't much - we've been away for 5 weeks and the kids have watched a grand total of about 2.5 hours tv - that was Real Steel last night. In Chinese

Thats 2 more things than we watch on it....

Re: HBO NOW
Yeah, I struggled with Roku before I got my TV too.....just couldn't find anywhere to plug the darn thing in
Once I got a TV though - Whole. New. World - it was so easy I could do it without asking for help from either Nutek or the kids!!
Actually, I love the Roku - we've tried a few other similars, but none quit us as well as the Roku.
OK,OK, I know you said "new"
OK, OK, you know you've been here too long when you have to say Just Kidding in case anyone gets the hump....

Re: HBO NOW
My wife and FIL love PBS. I do enjoy their frontline docs, I must admit.
I thought comedy central was on a cake package only. I used to watch the daily show and Colbert report years ago but the format started to get tiring.
In many ways unappealing TV has been rather liberating. I tend to spend my evenings doing other things now and I'm glad for it.

Re: HBO NOW
Not sure what John Oliver is, but wouldn't it be cheaper to just buy a season pass to GofT via iTunes or something similar? Although we don't even do that - we wait a little while for it to come out on DVD, and get it from the library for free!

Re: HBO NOW
$15 a month for one channel when Netflix costs $7.99? Is it at least commercial free?

Re: HBO NOW
Are you in Canada still?
HBO is apparently starting to crack down on people they find accessing HBO now in Canada using VPN services, only thing they appear to be doing though is closing the account if use continues.
