These are all great video on demand apps, Antonio, but VOD doesn’t really replace live TV, does it? Besides, working at DISH, I know that HBOGO still requires a cable or satellite subscription. Given that the best shows are on pay TV anyway, I don’t see why I should cut the cord to bring TV with me; I’ll stick with DISH Anywhere instead. It streams all of my live TV channels, including HBO, and I can stream recordings from my DVR too. I got stuck at the DMV for a few hours last week, but I didn’t really notice because I was watching a Hockey game.
