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).
Back in the day, Cinemax was $9; HBO was worth $10 or 11. The incremental cost of the $12-$20 fee per month is really not my problem with how much an HBO subscription costs, I would gladly pay $25-$30 per month for HBO. With my cable company (and I assume all others) HBO is not really available al a carte.
