February 29, 201610 yr After keeping this premium service for a couple of years specifically for Homeland and Shameless it's now gone. Watched the first 2 episodes of Homeland this season and gave it up. Made it for 3 episodes of Shameless before packing it in. Now I'm just a Game of Thrones away from ditching HBO as well.
February 29, 201610 yr If I had to pick today I'd keep SHO over HBO. I dig their series and they throw up some good documentaries as well.
February 29, 201610 yr Really, I love shameless and think it continues to be great. Also Billions is very good, and Ray Donovan is great as well. As for HBO, I am not feeling Vinyl, and have never been into Girls. I love the Duplas brothers so I keep watching Togetherness and Animals but they are weird.

I'm still hanging with Vinyl but I'm with you on not feeling it completely. Never could stand the female in Girls. I do like their monthly sports show with Gumbel. They also have some good docs (Mavis Staples doc tonight). Never was a GOT fan. I don't watch as many series on HBO as I do SHO.
February 29, 201610 yr For HBO current series forgot to mention Silicon Valley, On the Brink, and Ballers. I like all 3 of these. For Showtime forgot House of Lies, and Episodes
February 29, 201610 yr We love Homeland and are getting into Billions. My wife watches Ray Donovan and The Affair (which I think is on Showtime).
February 29, 201610 yr Do people really keep their subscriptions to the premium channels year-round? Unless you've continuously got shows at all times of the year you watch, why would you not just subscribe when the shows you watch are airing and cancel after the fact?

Unless you've continuously got shows at all times of the year you watch, why would you not just subscribe when the shows you watch are airing and cancel after the fact? We do, unfortunately. We have DirecTV and we get 3 premium channels for "free" for 6 months. Our 6-month deal expires in March, which is when I will call DirectTV again and ask for a lower price or cancel the premium channels.

SHO spreads out their series so that if you have enough series you like it's year-round viewing.
February 29, 201610 yr What happened to Billions last night. Why did they skip this week? I went home to watch on DVR and nothing.

March 1, 201610 yr Considering dropping HBO. Pretty much pay $15 a month for Real Sports and the occasional boxing match.
