HBO is in an industry with extraordinary start up costs. How many series do they have going now? The Newsroom, True Blood, Boardwalk Empire, Game of Thrones? And three of those four are _excellent_ shows. Not many companies are going to be able to produce 4 quality series and just wait for paying customers to show up while they bleed millions. While HBO continues to produce content a whole level above everyone else (with the exception of AMC), they get a pass from me and my $10 a month.
