What's the minimum/realistic buy in to view HBO content? Yes its $12-15/mo in addition to what? $50-100/mo from a cable co? If they aren't "interested" in streaming as you mention in another comment then they could easily piggy back on top of the existing options like Hulu/Netflix and for another $5-10/mo on top of the Netflix/Hulu subscription you could access HBO's content.
I just don't understand a company refusing to sell directly to it's consumers save for old media (discs) 6-12 months after final episode air date. |

Starz seems to understand this. I know their original programming (Spartacus, Pillars of the Earth) is available for streaming on Netflix the day after they air. I believe you can even stream the Starz channel live from Netflix as well.
