HBO Now
HBO had finally released their own streaming service, called "HBO Now". Priced at only $15 per month. In comparison, Netflix is only priced at $9 per month.
With the change of direction that Netflix took a few years ago, HBO and Netflix seem to be competing with each other. The juggernaut HBO has a large catalogue of movies and original content (Boardwalk Empire, Game of Thrones and True Detective just to name a few). Netflix started also gathering rights to stream movies and recently started finding original content ( Orange is the New Black, House of Cards and Hemlock Grove just to name a few).
It is no surprise HBO that comes in higher but how will cable companies react? With the much anticipated release of season 4 of Game of Thrones in April it will be interesting.

Whatever! lol! we don't used any of that home, we don't have money for that honestly and we are trying to save to have a house of our own. Important matters -- matters in our family right now. But hopefully we will have our own netflix. God bless.

I hope you have an Apple device. It would seem that it is only available on the Apple TV at first. That really sucks!
