Thread: HBO question

I had some sort of special deal on HBO where it was real cheap for a few months, but that ended.. I'm assuming that possibly the Manfredo fight, or the Holyfield fight may be on HBO so i was wondering if anyone has any experience with ordering HBO just for a month and canceling it.. are there any sort of fees for canceling that early or do you have to have it for a certain period of time or what.. I already pay for showtime for movies due to the superior selection but wouldn't mind paying the monthly fee of $12.95 for a month to see a few fights.. sounds like a great deal if its possible.

what cable company are you with?

comcast on demand I gotta say is the best. Right now I got milliniem cable, i hate these bastards (i gotta add they have the worst costumer service, I have been put on hold for hours not once or twice)i'm stuck with them because this apartment i live in right now only allows milliniuem cable.

I usually get showtime and hbo as a package together. Right now with milliniuem I get all of the channels, showtime hbo starz encor all of it as a package plus basic channels and some extra other channels. I also have phone line and cable internet. all together is suppose to be $100 a month. Not bad, but when the late fees and ppv tax adds up it'll be an amazing day when you only need to pay $100 for cable/phone/internet bills.

I got the same deal from Time Warner Cable.

I have comcast. You can call 1-800-Comcast and add or delete channels at any time of the day. I have HBO, and when ever there is a fight on Showtime that I want to see, I call them up and add showtime, only to delete it as soon as the fight is over. On my cable bill I end up getting around a $2 charge every time I do it.

I have the same deal with Time Warner and they also have the worst customer service.....I have had to get me box replaced 3 times due to manufactor defect....Not once did I even get a free movie for $1.99 or anything but they sure as hell do not forget to charge me if I am a day late

Yea I also have to get my internet device replace because of defect. its either that or the signal is down again. I hate it.

I can only hope I didn't have to be stuck with millenium cable. you guys won't believe it but, last month I had to pay off $500 plus for all three cable/internet/landline. and guess what this month again its $500plus. I hate these guys I really do....

extortionist b@stards!

I have digital cable and internet and all that stuff from Cox cable, i think they're only in RI or new england.. but that probably sounds like what i'll have to do.. 2 dollar charge isn't much at all..
So are there a lot of fights on showtime? i haven't really looked but i thought HBO had some sort of monopoly cause you usually always see them broadcasted by HBO.

You're the one who seems to be stumbling into double-entendres at every turn JT. And please JT, remember, they're called trousers...pants only come in two flavours, boxer and brief, all of which would not suit linen.

I do have a sore bum, but that's more down to my flu/diahorrea/vomiting bug i had over the weekend. The rest of me's pretty sore too. I'm actually moving from here this week to a new place down in Swansea, which is much bigger and has many more women, some of whom may actually be quite pretty. Finally.

And you;re good people too bro.

I have dish and i do exactly what you were thinking about...i order hbo and add on shotime for a day or so whenever they have a fight on i want to see then cancel it after if there is nothing coming up.....usually every first saturday is when they have boxing.
