> HBO NOW is a stand-alone streaming service that you can purchase from a participating provider (not part of a cable subscription).
- jdmichal 11y agoThe subscriptions are handled through in-app purchases. I cannot load any of those apps onto my existing devices. So now I have to buy a device, so that I can subscribe to HBO Now? The point is that the blanket statement, "And you can get HBO without getting cable," is correct but not complete. You still must flow through a provider, and the providers are not universally available. A random person with an internet connection and a computer cannot order HBO Now.
