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 is no longer the only premium pay-TV channel to venture outside the bundle. It now has competition from Showtime, which also lets you subscribe without tying you to an expensive package from a third-party service provider. Showtimeâs streaming service costs $11 per month and is available on Apple devices and Roku media streamers. PlayStation users can also get Showtime through Sonyâs PlayStation Vue TV service, and subscribers to Huluâs $8-per-month streaming-video service can add Showtime for an extra $9 per month. Much like HBO Now, Showtimeâs new service has some caveats, restrictions, and other fine-print details.
