It doesnt matter what method of delivery is used; they still play the SAME 60 movies over and over and over again.

Apparently, someone in charge of programming has never seen a movie made before 1978 and therefore they do not exist.

How many times does one really need to see, “The Hunt for Red October”, “Patriot Games” and whatever other Tom Clancy novel has been transferred to film?

Well, don’t get too ahead of yourself, you have to already be a subscriber of HBO  or Cinemax through Comcast in order to gain access online.  But on the other hand, if you already are a paying customer of either of these three companies, there will be no additional fee for having onilne access. Will you still watch these shows unlimited on your computer when the website is up and running?  Or will you continue to relay on Hulu, Netflix, Youtube, or Epix? Do you think you will subscribe to HBO just for this access, or should it be more available to general public? [...]

But this is all new for everyone, you can’t just expect HBO and Comcast to immediately drop their legacy systems. This will continue to evolve and they will evolve more quickly as people get more comfortable with new scenarios.

I came accross a press release a few weeks ago on Market Watch. It’s going to be the next big thing “Live as Broadcast Cable TV” wireless from one website on your computer. It is being BETA tested right now all you get is 4 channels but the launch will be 50 to 100. It will have VOD, HBO, SHOWTIME, MAX, USA,TNT, A & E etc even the networks ABC, CBS, NBC & FOX. Interactive, Picture in Picture, Tweet and more. Check it out for your self.

I agree with Javier – online delivery would seem most effective as a way to expand HBO’s audience, tiering it, even. Especially given the fact subscriber numbers are reportedly relatively stable (http://is.gd/1xBb1).
