Game of Thrones fans who have Dish Network subscriptions still cannot watch the show thanks to the company's dispute with HBO, and are still not happy about the situation.
Thanks to the dispute, fans have to subscribe to HBO NOW, the streaming service fans without traditional pay-TV subscriptions can use. Dish even took the surprising move of launching a website outlining how to sign up for the service, even though it will not get a dime out of it.
"Even though HBO is not available on Dish, you can still watch their content with the HBO NOW app," a tutorial explains on the site. "It only takes a few minutes. Click, start your free trial, then just follow the on-screen instructions. Now, you're ready to start watching HBO shows and movies, including Game of Thrones, when you want, where you want."
HBO has been unavailable for Dish subscribers since November after the two sides could not reach a new carriage deal. Dish has blamed AT&T, which owns HBO after buying Time Warner (now Warner Media) last year. AT&T also owns Dish's chief rival, DirecTV.
Last week, HBO and Dish met, but there was no new development in the five-month standoff.
