Is there anyway to subscribe to HBO, Showtime, etc. w/o cable?

You need a Slingbox and a good friend in the US (or family member, whatever) who will let you install it at their place.

I'm interested in streaming hbo etc - and willing to pay for it. Is it available?

I remember seeing an ad a few years ago for an online cable provider. The costs were about the same as my local cable company.

I'm surprised Apple doesn't already do something like this with their Apple TV box.
