Take my money, HBO
HBO will gladly take your money...through cable.  Just because you don't like the delivery method doesn't mean there isn't a way to access the content you want.<p>Compare this to movies.  Is it the responsibility of studios to make sure you can watch the movie at home the very instant it comes out?  No.  You go to the theater and watch it if you want to see it as soon as it airs.  Otherwise, you wait.<p>HBO is following the same path: use cable subscriptions as the avenue to get the content immediately, On Demand available soon thereafter, buy the DVDs or download at a later date.<p>I'm really tired of this self-righteous attitude that you are owed something from HBO.  If you want to watch all of your TV through the internet, that's fine.  But you have to live with the tradeoffs.  HBO is one of them.
