HBO Programs and Resources

As the name implies, HBO delivers uncut and commercial-free movies. And, from the very start cable subscribers paid extra to watch the channel.
From 1979 to roughly 2015, the single way to access HBO was through a cable subscription. Even the channel’s streaming service, HBO Go, was tied to a cable subscription when it began.

Thanks to the rise of live TV streaming, there are now multiple ways to watch HBO Live Stream, and they vary pretty notably when it comes to price and extra features.

Watching HBO Online on HBO Max

HBO Max is currently the newest way to watch HBO without a cable. In addition to all your HBO favorites, the service also features a mix of WarnerMedia holdings and a library of Studio Ghibli films. You can also get a new series of shows and some Max originals on HBO Max.

Watching HBO Live Stream on HBO Now

If you only care about streaming the channel, there is no better and cheaper option than subscribing directly to HBO Now. This service works on every popular streaming device including Amazon Fire TV, Amazon Fire Stick, PlayStation 3 and 4, Android TV, Xbox 360 and Xbox One, Apple and Roku TV, iOS, Android, and Samsung smart TVs.

For the sake of convenience, you can cast the HBO Now Android App to your Chromecast-connected screen via your Android device.

Watching HBO Online on Hulu

Your next service to watch HBO Live Steam is maybe Hulu. While most providers enable you to access the channel online at a similar price – $14.99 a month – Hulu delivers the cheapest entry point.
For example, a basic subscription to Hulu only costs $5.99 a month, which unlocks its whole collection of shows, movies, anime, documentaries, and the must-watch Hulu originals–although with ads. This takes the whole cost to approximately $20.98 per month.
Luckily, your basic Hulu plan will be enough to watch the network through the service and you don’t necessarily need to subscribe to Hulu Live TV.

Streaming the network on Hulu is possible through Android TV, iOS, Android device, PlayStation 3 and 4, Apple TV, Xbox 360 and Xbox One, Amazon Fire devices, Roku, TiVo, Sony Mart TVs, Samsung smart TVs, Vizio Smart TVs, Wii U, and almost any other device you heard of.
Android users can cast the Hulu Android App to watch HBO on big screens.

Subscribing to HBO on Prime Video

Watching HBO Online on Amazon’s Prime Video service costs $14.99 a month. Amazon is the best option to access streaming because it features a simple menu that puts all your favorite Prime content precisely alongside the add-on channels. Finally, you will pay roughly the same yearly cost for the network through Prime as you would Sling TV, Hulu, or PS Vue.
It is also worth noting that Amazon features a large library of best Amazon originals, movies, and documentaries, including some in Ultra 4K HD, and there’s always something new on Amazon every month.

You will be able to stream HBO on Amazon via smart TV, Android TV, Roku, PlayStation 3 or 4, Amazon Fire device, Xbox 360, or Xbox One and computer.

Some information about HBO history

HBO became the first American network to provide its programming by satellite and therefore became the first national cable channel to do so.
It introduced its sister channel, Cinemax, in 1980. HBO did so to compete with rival cable channels, such as Showtime, which was run by the media company Viacom Inc.
Early after its launch, HBO showed a great tendency to pay top prices for the broadcast rights of various feature films. It also financed films in exchange for the broadcast privileges.

In 1982, Columbia Pictures and CBS Inc. collaborated with HBO to jointly introduce the Tri-Star Pictures, a movie studio, which afterward came completely under the control of Columbia Pictures.

Launching of HBO2

HBO2 was launched alongside Cinemax2 in 1991. Both were first “multiplexed” cable channels. Their signals were linked with those of Cinemax and Home Box Office so that they could remain a single transmission. The number of HBO’s sister channels grew with time, such as HBO Family, which specialized in children related programming, and HBO Latino, a channel in Spanish.

Introduction of HBO internet-streaming service 

HBO introduced its internet-streaming service in 2010. The service was released so that subscribers could watch HBO programming online.

Groundbreaking series and documentaries by HBO

In the 1980s, the network decided to proceed with the original series format. A few of these series were of little not safe for their occasional nudity and adult language. Others, including the Tanner ’88 (1988), were hinted at the quality levels that could be attained on a pay-TV.
Created by Garry Trudeau, a cartoonist, and Robert Atman, a filmmaker, Tanner ’88 satirically followed a fictional contender for president.

HBO became more deeply engaged in producing its own programs during the early 1990s. The network created various adult-oriented dramatic series that remained groundbreaking. The critics gave them applause as they were expansively detailed and featured rich characters of the greatest novels.

Some of the highly appreciated HBO’s series include The Sopranos (1999-2007), which revolved around a Mafia boss named Tony Soprano (originally played by James Gandolfini), who coped with his own family, panic attacks, and his bosses.
The Wire (2002-08) was also a groundbreaking crime series by the network. The series narrated the deterioration of American institutions such as the press and public education.

Other remarkable dramas by HBO included Six Feet Under (2001-05), a story of a sick mortuary business run by a family; Deadwood (2004-06), a determined western; True Blood (2008-14), a small town in Louisiana teeming with werewolves, shape-shifters, and vampires; and Game of Thrones (2011-19), a tale of nine influential families waging war in order to control the mythical land of Westeros.

Such dramatic series by the network really paved the way for the rest of television dramas with extended multifaceted stories such as ABC’s Lost (2004-10) and Mad Men (2007-15) by AMC.

HBO comedy programming

Most of us consider HBO a one-stop destination for the films and shows, from documentaries and groundbreaking series to the super blockbuster movies ever made. But how many of us know that it also significantly contributed to television comedy.
Many premier stand-up comedians emerged on HBO specials since 1975.
HBO led to the creation of Comedy Channel, which was launched in 1989 and merged with Viacom’s rival channel HA! to grow into Comedy Central, the home to Jon Stewart’s The Daily with Jon Stewart (1999-2015), the Chappelle’s Show (2003-06) and South Park (1997-).

Channel Achievements

HBO’s original content also featured miniseries like the Bond of Brothers (2001) and John Adams (2008). The cable network produces various movies and documentaries and broadcasts programs of special events, such as music concerts and some boxing matches.
