Dish asks subscribers to sign up for HBO Now as soon as DirecTV accidentally loses the Game Of Thrones premiere

It is today the day Game of thrones Let's finally return to our lives, setting the stage for the latest adventures of Ned, Robb, Hodor, Ser Pounce, Margaery, Khal Drogo and all the other characters that have been with us since the beginning of this long journey. For many Dish subscribers, however, it's still a Sunday when nothing cool or exciting will happen, because, because of a conflict between Dish and AT & T, Dish does not offer HBO . You see, because American companies are a wonderful place, AT & T owns HBO and could not sign a license agreement with Dish last year, which means HBO (and so Game of thrones) is not available on Dish.

The obvious solution here for the hardliners Game of thrones fans must, you know, cancel Dish and go to DirecTV or cable. However, for some reason, Dish does not seem to like this plan very much, so, as reported Variety– he began asking subscribers to sign up for a free trial of the HBO streaming service. Just keep using Dish for everything else. A subscription to HBO Now costs the same amount that Dish charged for HBO ($ 15 per month), but the strange problem here is that Dish does not make a dime with subscriptions to HBO Now. The only reason for this is to remind Dish users that there are other options.

Variety finds that Dish has lost a million subscribers in 2018, including a third in the fourth quarter. Dishot attributed these losses to his differences with HBO and Univision (a Spanish-speaking network that tried to create an English-language media empire that worked very well and everyone loved it). Univision has been stuck on Dish for nine months, but the problem of HBO is not in sight. Fortunately, you can simply pay for another subscription service! And hey, if none of Dish's channels are broadcasting what you want to watch, maybe insert a Hulu or Netflix subscription while you're there! All that matters is that you do not stop paying for Dish. Never stop paying for Dish.

Anyway, while all this is happening, DirecTV has just released the first episode of the new Game of thrones early season. In a world where HBO is so terrorized by leaks that it does not even give Game of thrones more screens, it's a steel whoysie of Valyrian.
