Okay, any of you Canadians out there get HBO? Im sure some do, I’m just someone who hasn’t even had cable TV for years and years…however, I’m interested in doing what I need to do to get HBO simple because they are making the Sookie Stackhouse books into a tv series.
TRUE BLOOD looks so good, and I love the books, so I really want to be able to watch this. Help a girl out so that when I call the cable company, (Or whoever I need to) that I don’t sounds like a complete idiot. SI this Cable? Or Dish, or what?? How do I get HBO?
Check out this trailer and tell me it’s not worth getting cable for.
Keep an eye on TMN. For the most part, a lot of the big HBO and Showtime shows end up there within a few days of the US release (as in, stay away from spoilers, because if the US sees it on a Wednesday, we’ll likely get it on Sunday).
Yep, according to their site: http://www.themovienetwork.ca/ we get True Blood starting on September 7th. Woohoo! :)

Okay, so I should be able to get TMN with the cable company (SHaw)? I can just phone in and order it right?
by Sasha August 23rd, 2008 at 9:06 amI don’t even have basic cable right now. I found I was spending too much time just sitting there and zoning out, even when there was nothing on I wanted to watch, so I got rid of it. lol
Yep, Rogers, Bell, Shaw, any cable provider should offer the Movie Network.
I wish I had your will power. We get every possible cable channel and watch wayyyy too much tv. :)
by Grammar Geek August 23rd, 2008 at 9:42 amLOL I got rid of the cable because I had no will power. LOl The only way to stop form wasting so much time there was to get rid of it. LOL
by Sasha August 23rd, 2008 at 10:19 pmI was going to see if I could get it on demand since we have cable already but I seriously need to just subscribe so I don’t miss it. I had a nerdgasm watching the trailer. WHEEEE
by Lauren August 24th, 2008 at 10:00 amLauren…I knwo it can vary but (at least here) if you subscribe to HBO, you can watch it on On Demand–they like put all their series on there. I have to call and order HBO–we already have cable *sigh* and tons of channels I don’t watch.
