With the Sky deal in place, I think it will be a while before we get an official HBO streaming service in the UK.
Now TV provides a half baked way of doing it, but the lack of permanent back season availability and delays in showing new HBO shows and seasons, makes it a poor substitute IMHO. |
Sky's current deal with HBO runs until 2020 , do you really think that many in the UK would pay for HBO content as a standalone sub can't see it myself.
Half baked or not Now TV still offers premium HBO content along with content from many other studios and for the price of £6.99 how much would you expect a HBO standalone offering to be ?
