Ignoring the arguments about the direction of the company, I'd like to restate how bad hbo.com was. Upon reading what you'd said, I opened a new tab and went there. I had 2 seconds of a white screen. Then I had 21 (!!!) seconds of the black screen you described, with no indication that the page was still loading any content. At second 22, a loading icon appeared in the middle of the screen, then from second 23 - 25 all the website content loaded and rendered at once. Those results are truly terrible, especially given my internet connection (100mbps+) and computer (high performance). If HBO wants a web presence, they should really get it together (although maybe they don't want a web presence...).
