Re: HBO is back! Strikes deal with Reliance Jio Cinema

I used to watch the HBO box set series on the long haul flights, as many offered them.
The White Lotus was one of the first ones I watched and immediately started searching for HBO when I came back home.

Not that I actually got it, but have now kept HBO series reserved for the fortnightly flights.
On my last flight with SQ to Melbourne started The Staircase and loving every bit of it.

How does it work for Amazon Prime?
Yes, you can use Netflix on other devices as well. You may be limited by the number of active screens at a time, but you can keep multiple devices logged in.

The included Prime subscription is a regular prime subscription, It is just billed along with your Fiber Plan.

I am not sure about your other queries.

I have Airtel connection and i cancelled my Netflix connection and registered the Airtel freebie. Did this to maintain existing profiles and watch history.

Reckon these freebies from these providers will be linked to the mobile number you use to register for the service, so if you used a new number to register to Jio, and which currently isn't tied to a Netflix account, you are free to set that as a new account for this service.

As for Amazon, yes. The condition for this discounts is being a Prime member and using ICICI Amazon card.

Re: HBO is back! Strikes deal with Reliance Jio Cinema

I have Jio set top box for past 1 year, but have been unable to find live channels of Star Movies and Star Select Gold (or something similar sounding name of the channel, used to show less mainstream movies / world cinema) on any of the "apps" on the set top box.

Re: HBO is back! Strikes deal with Reliance Jio Cinema

Any idea when HBO content will be available on Jio Cinema? Don't see any of the shows upon searching.

I think (& this is pure conjecture), we'll see the entire HBO and additional content on JioCinema post the IPL.
Right now, viewers are hooked because of IPL. Once this is over, JioCinema will need some content to keep the viewers onboard.

Also, I think there will be a nominal subscribers fee (akin to Rs.2 per day or Rs. 599 per year, as rumored).

But have to give it to Jio. From ~45lakh viewers per match on Hotstar to nearly ~1.2cr on JioCinema is phenomenal.

Jio Cinema has started showing some HBO original content. I can see Succession, House of Dragons, Barry and Perry Mason as of now.

You have to get the JioCinema Premium subscription now for 999/- to watch the HBO series. Use the mobile app to get it

The one in subscription is the regular one where you can watch free content only. Don't think any subscription as of now has premium content included. For it you need to subscribe separately.
