US residents can combine their Hulu and Showtime subscriptions. Who knows if there will be more of this? US residents will have figured out the expense of separate services, and there could be pressure for such bundling of Premium services, but still keeping the monthly sub. I suspect that most people who subscribe to HBO would also like to subscribe to similar premium services such as Showtime etc.

For people in the UK, HBO Nordic seems to be back to taking UK credit cards, which gives access to HBO, Showtime and AMC content, plus several others, again only being tied to a monthly contract.
