Good morning geek zone network, I trust we are all sated after a glorious Christmas.

So my conundrum is I want to access tv content semi legitimately, contemplating a Apple TV, unblock us and Netflix.

.....but how does one go about accessing HBO content without resorting to torrents? I hate Sky so that is not a option.

Is HBO go available as a standalone service or does it require a HBO subscription?

My internet is VDSL and relatively decent within NZ third world standards.

So HBO and Showtime content, how is everyone accessing it?
