How you can get HBO for $5 per month

One of the big revelations of AT&T's new DirecTV Now streaming service was that you'd be able to get HBO as an add-on for just $5 a month.

  • Since it launched in 2016, AT&T's DirecTV Now streaming service has offered HBO as an add-on for $5 per month.
  • This is still a great deal for cord-cutters, as the service's total base package includes 60-plus channels.
  • Buying HBO a la carte — through HBO Now or as an add-on to Amazon Prime — will cost you $14.99 per month.

Since it launched in 2016, AT&T's DirecTV Now streaming service has offered HBO as an add-on for $5 per month.

This $5 add-on remains a great deal for prospective cord-cutters since buying HBO a la carte, through HBO Now, would cost you $14.99. Buying an HBO add-on to Amazon Prime would also cost you $14.99 per month.

To get the offer, however, you have to subscribe to the base DirecTV Now package, which costs $35 dollars per month for 60-plus channels. But if you are looking to ditch your big cable package while retaining some live TV, this could be a good option.
