Why would you do this when it costs the same to get HBO Now?

Sigh. Wake me up in a few years when these services come down to earth. They are just all way too expensive.

What baffles me is that TechCrunch and others are completely ignoring the UI debacle that has been going on with Hulu for over two months. The backlash from customers has been like nothing that Hulu has every seen or experienced.

So uhhh.... why not just subscribe to "HBO Now" for $14.99/month? It let's you stream premieres live, etc without needing Hulu as the middleman.

DIRECTV NOW taught me that +HBO should cost +$5. That was my threshold price. $15/mo is just dumb. It only took me a month or two to exhaust everything I cared to watch in HBO. And their monthly content added is NOT worth $15. That's more than the cost of NetFlix, and NetFlix offers/adds more content than HBO.
