Actually, the services in bold are premium channels and would be an added cost on top of a US cable TV subscription.

Until recently, you couldn't get HBO or Showtime without a cable TV subscription.

Now you can. Therefore, the option to subscribe to various streaming Premium services only, is a saving for US residents.

In fact, Sky have in good part done the same With Now TV. You don't need a costly yearly Satellite contract to watch the Sky Channels and they've thrown in a few other channels as well.
