HBO (Home Box Office)

Cable Network




Launched in November 1972, Home Box Office, the pay television programming division of Time Warner Inc., is the oldest and largest pay television network in the United States.  A 24-hour broad-appeal service, HBO® is known for the quality and diversity of its commercially uninterrupted programming.  Each month HBO offers more than 80 theatrical motion pictures, as well as HBO original productions including series, movies, documentaries, comedy, music, family shows, sports specials and World Championship Boxing®.

The most-watched pay service in the U.S., HBO offers seven distinct multiplex channels, high definition feeds as well as the industry’s most successful subscription video on demand (SVOD) product, HBO On Demand.

HBO’s different yet complementary channels – HBO, HBO2, HBO Signature, HBO Family, HBO Comedy, HBO Zone and HBO Latino – provide subscribers with even more access to the kinds of programs they want to see at no extra cost. Each channel has a distinct programming and on-air identity that appeal to targeted segments of the network's broader audience.

HBO On Demand provides unlimited access to over 150 titles of current and classic HBO original programming and Hollywood movies at any given time.  Available exclusively to HBO digital subscribers, HBO On Demand changes the television viewing experience.  Not only can customers watch HBO programming when they wish and as much as they like, they can also enjoy the benefits of pausing, rewinding and fast-forwarding their selections.

All 14 feeds of HBO’s branded channels (East and West) are available in high-definition.
