Netflix surpasses subscriber base of HBO, in U.S.

Considering Americans watch the most TV, taking over HBO is a big deal.

Good job Netflix. Even though I rather watch HBO, CineMax, etc, good job.

I think you will see on demand from HBO,and the like coming to streaming via, Amazon or Netflix. I know Time Warner had that a few years ago.

HBO has their own competing service, HBO GO. GO has been miserable for me, since DirecTV subscribers are blocked from using devices such as the Roku, to stream to their TVs.

On a positive note, DirecTV must've been listening, because the paltry HBO OD (on demand) service went from select episodes of select shows to having every single series and episode available. I'm happy this finally happened, now I can catch up on some shows I've missed, since I hate to pickup any series from the middle.
