Watch HBO Online & Get A FREE HBO Trial with DISH Network
DISH Network® is running a new promotion offering new, qualifying customers three months of free premium programming – choose from Cinemax, Starz or free HBO. And, you should know, DISH Network is offering qualified customers these three free months of a premium channel, like free HBO, and its DISH Platinum™* HD package with all the DISH Network deals available through InternetLion.com. That’s right, you can get this deal even with the starting packages offered by DISH Network. Whereas with DIRECTV, only customers that subscribe to the Choice Xtra package or higher can get three free months of HBO. Meaning, you can’t get a free HBO offer with DIRECTV when you order their introductory channel package…
Plus, DISH Network offers one other thing DIRECTV doesn’t: The ability to watch HBO online from anywhere on the planet with its high-tech ViP™ 922 receiver.† Intrigued? Read the rest of this article to find out how you too can watch HBO online—or watch anything else you want online—with DISH Network.
How to Watch HBO Online with DISH Network
Unlike its competitors DISH Network offers the first HD DVR receiver to allow users to watch TV Everywhere™. The receiver, the DISH Network SlingLoaded™ ViP™ 922, does this by allowing users to network the DVR with their personal computers via the 922’s built-in SlingBox™.‡ Users can then network their smart phones and tablet computing devices with these PCs by downloading an application available at DISHNetwork.com/TVEverywhere.
Doing this will connect users’ phones and pads to the ViP 922 and, subsequently, allow them to watch all the programming they’d normally watch at home from anywhere they receive Internet service for their mobile devices. This means, for instance, if you’re backpacking in Europeand you’re connected to WiFi via your iPad™—you can watch “Mad Men” at the same time as your parents back home whether you’re sitting atop the Matterhorn, or are downing absinthe in the Red Hat club in Prague.
Such capabilities are only available through DISH Network as it is the sole distributor of ViP 922s and SlingLoaded technology. And this is because the 922 is the invention of DISH Network’s mother company, EchoStar, in collaboration with Sling Media. No other subscription TV provider offers anything like it. In fact, the only thing close is that DIRECTV allows some premium sports-package subscribers to watch games in a similar way. Assuming you aren’t subscribing to a TV provider just for sports, why in the world would this DIRECTV offering interest you?
But what is interesting is that new customers can really maximize DISH Network's free HBO offer for three whole months! You can watch DISH Network's free HBO cozied up on your couch at home or watch HBO online EVERYWHERE and anywhere if you choose to get connected with the revolutionary ViP 922 receiver. TV just got a lot better thanks to DISH Network and DISH Network's free HBO offer.
