HBO offers a subscription only service here in Norway, but I don't know anyone who has signed up for it. --Everyone I know (myself included) refuses to sign up for a service that requires a 1 year commitment and doesn't offer a trial period. On the other hand, lots of people went ahead and signed up for Netflix because they were offering a 1 month trial and you can cancel at anytime. I'm not saying HBO won't succeed in the online space, but at least in Norway their arrogance has really hurt the perception that people have about them.
