I'ts time again to get HBO only for GoT

At the start of each Game of Thrones season I have been signing up for HBO and then cancelling when the season is over. However, this year instead of getting it from my cable provider I decided to get it from Amazon's streaming services for just under $15 a month. This is less expensive than adding it to my cable channel line-up.

Who else is a GoT fan but on a budget?

That's always been our practice, with GoT and West World.
This time we're going to hold out and sign up for HBO streaming service when it's in the last couple of weeks. Then we can binge it all in one month and drop the service again until WW.

Ooh, after I got HBO again I realized I get to start watching Westworld - so I finally saw the first episode last night. Wow, it's really good.

Lots of other good shows on HBO (at least here in Norway).

Power
Six
The Magicians
Handmaiden's Tail
Killjoys
Supergirl
Billions
Mr Robot
Taboo
The Night of
Penny Dreadful
Quarry

It might be that HBO Nordic is more of a collection of various stations in the US

iam so sick of that show... I have 'fantasy drama queen' fatigue ... Potter.. Thrones... Tolkien

The show has some really great twists starting around episode 7. I'm glad to hear that you liked the first episode. It only gets better.

Well my son cam home with a Humo magazine on Saturday that had a free offer of a season pass for season 7 of Game of Thrones ... I have checked and the digibox recorded the show but I have to wait until Vic comes home from work so we can watch it together in the cinema.

It was reported on the news this morning that HBO Go had server issues last night during the GoT season premier last night. I'm glad Amazon's TV streaming service worked fine (knock on wood).

The IT dept for HBO must have been very busy yesterday!

Wife just went straight to ordering HBO, no messing around with this show. It's only 2 months worth of shows and then we cancel.

I found that if you don't mind watching on something other than TV, you can get on HBO GO the day of and before the show airs and watch it early. It's been that way for a few years now. Pretty cool if you find you can't watch it live that evening but can earlier on.

Hell reading all these posts got me wondering what GOT is all about so just ordered it..If nothing else I won't see all those dumb arsed commercials

If you've seen and enjoyed shows like "Rome" and "I Claudius" you will also like GOT.

PM never saw or even heard of those..But they sound like something I'd be interested in..But if for no other reasons I hate watching shows constantly interrupted by commercials for stuff I don't want and don't care to hear about,,I'm the kind who likes watching some thing like Band of Brothers on a nice weekend with pizzas and beer

Rome is very good, it follows two lads in Caesar's army, the whole tale is done over two seasons and it also follows the stories of Mark Anthony, Caesar, and Cicero, it is well done with very high production values.

I Claudius was a BBC TV production from a good few years ago with an award wining performance by Derek Jacobi in the title role as Claudius, I watched it as it was broadcast and not seen it since, it is one I must re-visit soon.

Rome sounds just like the kind of show I'd like Thanks I'll watch for it..Never saw any of these because I haven't had HBO for years,but reading forums I've seen a good reason to get it

I mentioned "I Claudius" because George RR Martin has been quoted saying that "I Claudius" was a major influence on him when he started writing the GOT books.

you are watching from Season 1 right? I was never into this until the wife and I ran out of shows to watch so we rented season 1 from the Library. Loved it so much my wife bought the first 5 seasons on DVD, ex father in law then used them and bought us Season 6.

The 1 issue with GoT that there is SO MANY people we had to watch it twice just to follow along. You really do need some kind of sliding map/ledger on who's related to who...

Thanks TG..Went on line to the library and they have it here..You order it from the Zanesville main branch and it gets to the local one down the street in a couple days,,,got season 1 and I know what I'll be doing Saturday,,,Watching it with a pizza and a few beers

It won't be long before they make it harder to sign up for a short period and then cancel. You have got me thinking about doing this now too.

nah...if they get ten times the amount of subscribers in 2 months than what they will regularly get in a year, they should be happy enough with the temporary subscribers. What they need is at least one series that keeps doing this every year, and they are golden.

Hence why HBO is doing one and possibly two GOT spinoff shows.

Westworld had great ratings for its first season but it won't be near the juggernaut that GOT is.
