Like DirecTV, Dish includes HBO for free for the first three months. From then on, it costs $18 a month in addition to your regular service (current best deal is $20 a month for first year, then $33/month thereafter).
HBO offers a streaming service, and Showtime is following suit, but consumers shouldn't expect a bargain. There's only one reason most pay-TV viewers in Southern California aren't watching Dodgers games: They're too expensive. Time Warner Cable, which has exclusive distribution rights for the games, wants other pay-TV companies to charge subscribers as much as $5 a month for its Dodgers channel. Providers such as DirecTV and AT&T, which would receive about a third of that amount, say $5 is too pricey for their customers.
