If HBO wasn't hopelessly compromised by their dependence on cable networks, the smart move would be for them to use their proprietary content as the lure for a full-fledged competitor to Netflix streaming, similar to the way that Valve used their own games to get people using Steam. I'd be willing to pay the $8/month I give Netflix just for access the HBO back-catalog, assuming it didn't require a cable TV subscription that I'm never going to pay for again.
