So I finally got an answer to a question I've had since they announced the HBO tier. I wanted to confirm that when Game of Thrones airs, I can watch it live, and that it's available immediately to stream. It's petty I know, but the way that show is I don't want to have to wait.
Pete Holmes had a comedy special airing on HBO over the weekend, and sure enough it was on one of the live "channels" (this is an odd thing that crave+HBO has). My wife had an issue that required me to pause it for 10 minutes, and upon hitting play it jumped 10 minutes forward. Not a great user experience.
However! When I searched for the show, it was already fully streamable. I figured I would have had to wait until it finished for it to be available, but it looks like it was made available as soon as it began on the "live" channel.
So all in I'd say it's been worth it so far. It's only a couple movies per week added, but it's not terrible. I'll keep it at least until Game of Thrones is over and then make a decision.
