Re: must already be an HBO subscriber

So you think that HBO shouldn't charge for their content, when they've successfully demonstrated that enough people find enough value in it to pay the price they ask?

I do think that it's silly that they have no means for satellite subscribers to access the service, and that they require that you use the cable company's Internet service, if you're using cable.

I wouldn't be surprised if it had something to do with access control. After all, HBO subscribers don't get let in on some secret handshake.
And what are Cox customers supposed to do? Cox is looking at implementing caps and Comcast has super secret caps on their service. A few movies and some Netflix here and there and there goes your bill straight up.

I'll believe it when I see it. They have had "caps" for years, but they've never been enforced except against the most egregious of bandwidth hogs. (I know a few people who probably deserved it but were never hassled)

It's wierdo, not weirdo. Yes, I know that's not the 'proper' spelling of the similar english language word.
