(12,132 posts)for about 15 bucks a month last I checked. You don't have to have cable with an HBO subscription (Although if you do you can just use HBO Go)
All you need is an internet connection and I gather you have that since you have roku and netflix.
You have complete access to their on-demand catalog and new movies/shows are available about an hour after they air first on the regular HBO channel.
Sadly, there's no single solution. If you want to eschew a traditional cable subscription you have to get fast internet and subscribe to a mix of content providers like Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, HBO (and other movie channels have a la carte subscriptions too).
We're trying out a lot of things right now too - trying to find the best mix to get the stuff we like to watch.
We always look on Netflix first if we think of a movie we want to watch. It's usually not there lol. BUT we love it for the TV series and original content. We end up seeing newer movies on Amazon Prime pay-per-view or we just buy the blu-ray.
