This is what I've done 2 years in a row to get HBONow. This won't be relevant if you don't have an iPhone or apple TV.

step 1: get a VPN, like Private Internet Access. set it to somewhere in america. i chose California, Pacific time zone = watching new episodes an hour early.
step 2: get a *US iTunes gift card. it must be a US based iTunes key. you can purchase these keys online at a site like https://www.offgamers.com/. the canadian iTunes card won't work
step 3: Set up PIA, or your VPN of choice, on your smartphone. So with iPhones you need to make a US appleID. You'll need to set up your american billing. use your gift card and say a random Beverly hills address, zip code 90210.
step 4: download HBONow on your smartphone and subscribe. You have to set it up it through your smartphone, but can then just go to HBOnow on your computer and watch it there.
Step 5: With your VPN active, watch Game of Thrones live in amazing quality early on Sundays.

congrats, you subverted Bell and their filthy regional restrictions.

Edit: had to change step 2. the prepaid VISA/master cards will no longer work. you have to get a US based iTunes gift card

If it's convenient, you should move to Oregon where there is no state sales tax

Couldn't you also use PayPal and fake a U.S. address + Zip code?

True, Oregon is actually a better choice for your state than California for that reason.

I tried everything to get PayPal to work with this method, but just got redirected back to iTunes with an error message that the source of my funds had to be American. They really crack down on the Canadian-shenanigans.

I'm pumped to get quality programming on my TV again (no offence to everything else currently on TV).

With so few episodes left you'd think they'll have to really move things along with each episode.

So a little disappointed...I signed up for HBO today, and just realize it doesn't air until 9:00pm. One of the reasons I justified forking over for GOT was I thought it was on at 7:00 because torrents usually popped up around 8:30. I justified it by thinking I'd be getting it sooner by paying! Turns out that's because it is on at 9:00pm eastern. Oh well, it will save the 30 minutes of torrent hunting.

I know, first world problems.

Who is your provider?

Telus has the East hbo feed so I always get to watch at 7pm. But then I'm the only one posting ITT because most people watch at 9.

The Hound and Jaime Lannister are great. How bizarre would that have seemed after S1?
