Sling TV customers have access to HBO’s multiplex of channels once again after the Echostar-owned streaming service announced a deal to offer Max to its subscribers.
Starting this week, Sling TV customers can purchase the ad-free version of Max for $17 per month, unlocking access to hit shows and movies like “Game of Thrones,” “Succession,” “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver,” “Real Time with Bill Maher,” “Friends,” “Hacks,” “The Penguin,” “The Big Bang Theory” and more.
The $17 per month that Sling TV charges for Max is the same price that customers would pay if they purchase Max directly from the service, but with one important difference: Those who purchase Max through Sling will also get streaming access to eight HBO linear channels, just as they would if they purchased HBO via cable or satellite. The HBO linear channels include:
- HBO East
- HBO West
- HBO 2
- HBO Family
- HBO Zone
- HBO Comedy
- HBO Signature
- HBO Latino
“Sling TV is committed to providing our customers with the ultimate choice and flexibility in entertainment and that only continues with this partnership,” Gary Schanman, the Group President of Dish Video Services, said in a statement. “By adding Max to our lineup, we’re ensuring our subscribers have the power to watch what they want.”
New and existing Sling TV customers can also get a $5 per month discount when they purchase a bundle that includes Sling Orange with Max or Sling Blue with Max. New subscribers to Sling TV can also stack that discount with one that unlocks 50 percent off their Sling Orange or Sling Blue plan for the first month.
