HBO vs NetFlix in http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r20283068 en Tue, 09 Feb 2010 17:59:05 EDT Tue, 09 Feb 2010 17:59:05 EDT Re: HBO vs NetFlix http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20285176 KoolMoe : Yeap. We switched from Comcast to FiosTV about a year ago, largely cause the same 'package' was about $10/month cheaper. Then also dropping HBO, we're paying about $25 - $30 a month less than we were with Comcast. I miss HBO but it's just not worth the price.

The cost is just crazy , its costing way to much to live and these rate increases are killer.

I really am starting to see why piracy and people stealing cable and satellite are growing. The costs are growing faster then their incomes , and some people don't want to go with out their "extras".

We've gotten HBO free for quite a few months due to ongoing problems that our cable company wasn't able to resolve. We were discussing whether it was worth it to keep HBO once our free months expired.

On one hand, we really did enjoy the movie selection that HBO offered. On the other hand, the $14.95 per month that HBO costs could pay for a NetFlix 2 DVD-per-month plan with cash to spare. And NetFlix has a much better movie selection. Toss in a video store trip and a stop by our local library's video rental area and I really don't see the reason to pay for one of the movie channels on cable.

In this case, cable could have an easy win. Their video-on-demand functionality is light years ahead of any non-cable-provider. However, the high costs per channel mean that I am unlikely to pay for anything other than the basic package.
