You still have an HBO account?  I thought you cut the cable?  HBO isn't 
available any other way other than satellite.  Or are you using a 
relatives account?  I think my sister still has HBO but hasn't a clue 
about HBO GO and that the password can be shared I think with up to 
three people.


I wonder when  HBO and Showtime's contracts run out with the cable 
companies if they will set up rental sites or start renting a day after 
they show on TV or at least a month after the show.  Trends do show more 
and more people cutting cable though they keep the provider for 
Internet. Cable and satellite is so yesterday's news as is broadcast TV.
