Home Box Office [HBO] Spoilers mentioned

I am a Game of Thrones fan. As you probably know, people love the show because of how unpredictable and dramatic it can be with plot twists. I live in the UK and the only way we get to see this on Public television is through Sky Atlantic. I think I should tell you what they are up to as many people, according to forums I've visited related to the TV channel, are very upset about it and Sky Atlantic just doesn't seem to care.

The problem is that they keep saying spoilers about yet to be aired episodes. They do it on their twitter feed, but that's easily avoided, not so easily avoided is when they say spoilers about the episodes during TV commercials on the actual channel. During commercial breaks for unrelated shows they say "on game of thrones tonight, what will happen when xyz happens?" Last week they ruined a big reveal about something which obviously I'm not going to repeat here. I wish HBO would take their license to show GoT away and give it to a better TV channel. Spoilers are unforgivable, especially when made by those responsible for airing it.

Home Box Office [HBO] too slow

I'm in a hotel trying to watch Game of Thrones because I missed it when it went on the air, but your website is too slow. I know it's not the internet speed because I can stream 1080p off of Youtube. I know blah blah blah lots of traffic the day it is released but that is why I am paying for HBO Go. It was so unwatchable that I had to instead go watch an illegal version because it ran better. Perhaps offer users to stream your shows in a lower quality so that it might stream faster?

Home Box Office [HBO] concert for valor

Well though this may not be the popular level of complaint it is valid all the same. As a US Army Disabled Veteran I am thankful that HBO took the time to bring coverage of the Concert for Valor to the public especially for us Vets who couldn't be there in person. This being said the primary reason I have a complaint is due to the closing act. I at one time was an avid Eminem fan and I find it to be pretty cool that he was there to pay his tribute to the Serving, the Served, and the Fallen. My problem is not his presence, but rather how he presented himself and his misrepresentation of our nations hero's with his poor choice of words. His constant cussing throughout his performance was revolting. My children were in the livingroom watching with me and I found myself having to explain to a 12 and 8 yr old both girls as to why he was saying bad words at a concert for soldiers. My 8 yr old was amazed because she was under the impression that Eminem was a good guy since I never speak negatively of him. I think HBO owes the American people an apology for the poor quality of the last act.

The concert of valor WAS a wonderful idea and fantastic tribute to our deserving soldiers... Why did you have to ruin it by hosting Eminem ? His vulgar language and stance represents the exact opposite of 99% of the viewers. Bad idea HBO... And I'm dropping you out of my comcast service

Home Box Office [HBO] inappropriate stereotyping of a nation's people and abuse

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11353071

I found this mocking of a nation and its people to be inappropriate and deeply offensive. It involves swearing, derogatory comments, possibly politically motivated, about New Zealand's Prime Minister; stereotyping and exaggerations concerning NZ accents and suggestions New Zealanders have sex with and are famously cruel to certain animals. To begin a rant with "...New Zealand is full of f_ _king New Zealanders" and then continue to denigrate its people on TV is beyond me. It's anti-comedy.

Home Box Office [HBO] playing politics

This is why I will NEVER consider subscribing and giving even one dollar to HBO: their choice to play a demagogue in using this HBO channel platform is highly unappealing and hideous.

While HBO's Award winning "True Blood" a popular vampire drama has had a long-running narrative with the bad guys cast as southern conservative politicians, last night's episode took it a step farther, calling Ted Cruz supporters a**holes and offensively referring to conservative woman in eveningware as "republic**ts"
When two of the main characters, vampires Eric Northman and Pam De Beaufort, are planning to crash a fictional fundraiser for Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) held at the George W. Bush Presidential Center in Dallas they are warned “They only let in a**holes.”
While dressing for the event in cowboy hats and Western evening attire Pam De Beaufort says "Oh my God I'm a republic**t"
And finally De Beaufort enters the gala proclaiming "Of all the horrible things I've seen in the last hundred years this could be the most disturbing."

Home Box Office [HBO] season 4

Dear HBO productive team,
I cannot understand the reason why I have to wait for one year to see the next season of series Game of thrones. Game of thrones is among the best series ever shown on TV but the huge problem is that only 3 episodes are about to be released for the end of season 4 (in total 10 episodes) and we have to wait for ONE year in order to see the next 5th season. I think that this is at least outrageous and the only thing that you are going to achieve is to lose your fans of this series! I think that at least 20 episodes should be included in each season or else 10 episodes twice within a year (total 20).
Regards
John Smith

Home Box Office [HBO] australian game of thrones distribution

HBO has now chosen to distribute Game of Thrones content solely through expensive Foxtel premium cable television, effectively ending legitimate pay on demand access to this content without advertisements.

As a consumer not only wanting to pay for quality content by denied access to the content through affordable advertisement free means, as was previously available for the last 3 seasons, I feel disgusted that HBO would chose prevent all Australians the means of seeing this content in this way, despite the international communities access to the content in the desired way.

Australian fans of quality television are often labelled as pirates of copyright content by use of illegal downloading of their favourite content. When I'm actively trying to persuade members of my community to not download the content illegally, but rather pay for the privilege of quality content, this latest tactic is not only counter productive but also offensive to those of us who play by the rules.

Home Box Office [HBO] item order

I'm deeply unsatisfied with how HBO handles their online orders. I really hope an employee reads this so that they can fix the way they deal with their customers.

On 1/25 I purchased a Game of Thrones shot glass set for my boyfriend's birthday. Right on the item page, it said "Item will ship 2/7". Which was absolutely fine by me. However, it appears as though HBO unknowingly let too many customers place orders for this item, because it's now 2/19 and the item is on backorder. Not only were they not monitoring how many people were ordering the item (and making sure to alert these people that they had exceeded a certain amount), but they NEVER sent out a notice letting me know my item was suddenly on backorder.

Thanks a lot, HBO. Now my boyfriend is out of a gift. You could at LEAST send out automatic e-mails when a customer's item is on backorder!

Home Box Office [HBO] ripping off consumers

The initial concept for cable tv was to provide programing that was not available on regular tv. Now these premium channels such as hbo, showtime, starz, max etc all shoe programs that are on regular tv, and sometimes at the same time. Why pay to watch a program on hbo, that is airing on tnt? These networks also so the same pograms over and over. There are so many movies that have not been aired, or are aired when we are sleeping and unaware they are on. I would like for these networks to start putting time and effort into the movies that are aired and keep the scheduling fresh. I would like to see more new releases or movies that are rarely aired.

Home Box Office [HBO] bill maher show

The bigotry expressed by Bill Maher against Catholic's is as extreme as the KKK and fascist propaganda. He serves no purpose in expressing these personal prejudices of his. If HBO could actually try to create a professional show it would help keep my family as customers but if you promote hatred of a group of people it is racist and we can not continue our support of your programs.

It amazes me what great links HBO will go to or even allow Bill Maher to get by with. I don't care if he thinks he's a comedian or not, HBO is ultimately responsible. Bill Maher needs to apologize for his unnecessary remarks about Ivanka doing favors for Daddy Trump, it's really not funny and very disturbing . He has crossed the line and needs to be removed. HBO, if you think this show is just a comedy show you are mistaken. This man is allowed to rant and rave and throw out insult after insult about our President and a Father, Daughter relationship. He has become to personal in his antics. It's time for a change.

He didn't call them stupid. He said they weren't the "brightest generation" in the same sentence he called them the "greatest generation." Why?

Because they were at the memorial to show they were upset about it being closed down by the government shutdown, and while there took pictures with Michelle Bachmann.

Michelle Bachmann had a role to play in why the memorial wasn't open because she supported the shutdown.

Context matters, especially in satire. If you want to take the joke entirely out of context, that's your right to do so, but don't try changing what was said to suit your fuss.

Bill is just telling the truth about the catholic cult. Don't you find it interesting that the catholic pope, who incidendeny was a member of the Hitler Youth and serve for, and swore alegence to Adolf Hitler, had to resign because he is also a homosexual? Of course the is nothing wrong with that except for the cults open hate and distain for these people. Or, should I even bring up the cults history of raping little children? And, that is just the beginning of the criminal enterprise know as the Catholic Church.

Pacquiao vs Bradley

Please consider this an official complaint against the Nevada State Gaming Commission.
As a huge fan of boxing I suspect something is a foot with your judges, CJ Ross and Dwayne Ford obviously were bribed, blind or just plain stupid. To award the belt to Bradley is shameful to say the least. The whole world knows that was Pacquiao's win. SHAME ON YOU GUYS, you just gave a huge BLACK EYE to boxing fans, competitors and athletes around the world. Please email a response and let me know how this decision was justified!

Home Box Office [HBO] angry boys

The new Angry Boys sexual exploitation of female children is reprehensible. Showing a child "sipping" out of a phallic symbol is vile and disgusting. There is no humor in this. I am sorry I have lived long enough to see this happen in what "used to be" the United States. As an ex-investigator of child abuse for Child Protective Services I find this abhorrent and aberrant behavior. You are pandering to pedophiles. I bet NAMBLA is funding your show or maybe Prince Awahleed of Saudi Arabia where slavery is still allowed and so is having sex with children. This is promoting EVIL. I don't care if YOU find this funny - it's not. Your mother should be sorry she gave birth to you. DEFENDER of the innocence of children.

Home Box Office [HBO] series and movies...

I pay alot of money every month for HBO and Showtime and I also have ondemand.On demand has all the series on there why can;t you ever put all the episodes on there at once of course im not speaking of the new series but the old ones or even the past seasons of the new series.Leave them all on ondemand instead of playing 6 episodes and then removing it from ondemand so we cannot find out what happens.It is also tiring that you play the same old documentaries and the same old batches of movies over and over again.I recently got netflix and I love it.I am thinking about getting rid of HBO and Showtime, I pay all that money a month just to watch Shamless and Game of throwns and Dexter when I could just by the boxset when they come out.I have not been Happy for awhile with these channels, I guess it is time to do something about it.It is just not worth the money I pay.Maybe you could revamp HBOand the other movie channels and make it worth what we pay.Thank you.

Home Box Office [HBO] bill maher program

I am tired paying for hbo and having bill maher on with his disgusting quasi intellectual slimy manner and his personal bashing of republican woman. There is freedom of speech, his is hate speech and hbo has a responsibility to check this. ( personal attacks to sarah palin over the years). Until that time i will not be subscribing to hbo as long as bill maher is allowed to continue his hate speech under the guise of comedy. Not watching his show is not enough this time, it has to hit hbo in the pocket, unfortuneatly for me at the expense of all the other excellent shows.

I have been a rabid and loyal Bill Maher fan for over 15 years. I watch every single HBO program he airs. He is so needed for all America, to question the immorality and the corrupt and even traitorous behavior of our current president an his ilk, and I have applauded him for it, including of his recognition and condemnation of Truimp's racism and bigotry. Now on his current show from Friday, January 25, 2019, he has done something shocking. He has done an attack on the Jews. This was couched as a satire on Jewish prisons requested by ultra-rich Jews who are indeed evil and corrupt. As a Jew, I agree these ones are, but his references to these [censored] ordering gefilte fish, and kosher foods, coupled with yiddish-American phraseology, are clearly and virulently anti-Semitic. I don't care how many Jews have been on his shows over the years, that is all for nothing now. I am not religious at all and try to be an American first at all times. In fact I shy away from "announcing" I am Jewish, but this is too close to neo-Nazi parody. Look at the comics published by Nazi propagandists before the holocaust really got cracking. Just ask the Simon Wiesenthal Center and they will SHOW YOU. THIS IS NOT "FUNNY"! I demand that Mr. Maher issue an honest apology to all the Jewish people whom he portrays in his "skit" as criminals and Trump supporters, if not traitors to our own beloved nation. There is NO attempt to distinguish between this tiny group and the 99% of us who are NOT criminals, NOT millionaires, NOT supporters of separate "Jewish high-class prisons", and NOT Trump supporters (and who in fact HATE him and his ilk). People who don't know our ethnic group will be swayed toward HATING US ALL. I am appalled and in horror over his remarks. This has NOTHING to do with free speech. This is unprotected HATE SPEECH, even if Mr. Maher is too ignorant to understand what he has now done. I will NEVER watch him again unless and until he apologizes to all of us descendants of millions and millions of a people slaughtered for no reason for thousands and thousands of years, other than because of our DNA bloodline. He does not understand what he has done. I ALSO DEMAND a response from SOMEONE IN HIGH AUTHORITY AT HBO. I am not an idiot or insane, and in fact am a respected Jewish attorney of 30 years, who understands and reveres our Constitution. I have fought for the underdogs all along, be they Jewish, black, Hispanic, women or other groups. This parody was disgusting. Even if I am the only person to object to this, I demand an apology from him and from HBO. At the very least, I would ask him to explain, on the air, what he really was trying to convey. Could he at least acknowledge that he would agree nearly ALL Jews would and do condemn the disgusting behavior of a few of our fellow people who are in my view traitors to the Jewish people, who honor and revere humanitarianism in all aspects. If you refuse to respond within 7 days, or respond with meaningless platitudes, I WILL GO PUBLIC with this issue. This is not extortion, this is outrage. It is not "extortion" because there is NO DEMAND that you respond "or else", as I still may go public in any event. Someone, I am sure, will cover it. Yours in shock and horror, Howard B. Hellen, a 38- year long HBO subscriber.

The only "porn" HBO plays I believe it Real Sex which is actually a great show if you sat and watched it. I understand it's not kid-friendly but then again, HBO also plays R Rated movies at those times also which aren't kid appropriate and I'm sure you wouldn't complain about that. It is what it is, HBO isn't gonna change it. Just parental block it, and do the same with Skina-I mean Cinemax since softcore porn is all they seem to play now during week nights.

Home Box Office [HBO] bill maher tebow tweet

This is my first complaint an action that I have taken. Generally believe in free speech for worthy causes. Bill Maher is not a worthy cause. He is just a profit center for HBO and himself! He says anything to drive viewership and controversy.

Bill Maher is not even relevant in the grand scheme of things. He Is like a little boy with a "potty mouth" problem and no parents around to teach him common decency for fellow human being. Someday Bill will be on bended knee before God and asked to give a review of his life. What a day that will be. Good luck Bill!
Despite his unbelief, it doesn't change the fact that God exists and loves Bill!

it's funny how many people comment on entertainment television but not a single person is involved in their government
just can't wait til the next X Factor or American Idol
maybe they should have a contest for presidential candidates on stage; give 'em all baseball bats and let them go at each other
post as a pay-per-view on HBO and they could earn the US deficit in one night

HBO and Bill Maher are disgusting, Bill what a pig you are. What is wrong with you? Are you jealous Bill? How could you make fun of a young man who does nothing but good with his life. I think you are an empty person with no talent and nothing but juvenile antics to fall back on. Shame on you and shame on HBO maybe yall will be Tebowing in hell with your buddy Hitler.

Bill Maher is an unfunny, arrogant ### and HBO should be ashamed of themselves for allowing him to continue on the air. I have cancelled my HBO subscription. Maybe all Christians should do so and send a message that our Religious symbols are not fodder for ridicule.

Just wanted to let you know that I have canceled my HBO today. I am truly tired of supporting HBO while your programming is disgusting, main topic Bill Maher. I will not pay to hear this idiot rant. But of course I will not hear back from you or will this company for one moment be concerned about this issue. I will be encouraging everybody I know to do the...
