Does anyone know if there is

a way to watch HBO on line on a movie to movie basis? I want to watch Game Change tomorrow night but don't have HBO. I'd like to pay for just the one event/movie without paying for a full subscription to the channel.

I would have never thought of. I think I'll check into other options first, but if it comes down to it I can always go that route. Thanks!

It actually had just occurred to me that it might not cost all that much to have them add it to my cable package for a month. How much could it cost? I pay $50.00 for the family to get into the movie theater all the time. If it's less than that I guess I really couldn't complain.

$15.99 if I remember right. I also wanted to tape Game of Thrones too.

I've been wanting to try out HBO for some time now anyway. It would be a nice change to the channels I'm used to.

$10 a month.

I ordered HBO this evening and will cancel in a week.

They pro-rate the fee depending on how long you have channel so it should cost me around $2.50 to keep the channel for a week.

p.s. Anyone that calls their cable company to add HBO just ask them if they sign up for the station if they can cancel anytime they wish, if there are any additional fees, and if the rate will be pro-rated.
