When I watch TV shows and movies, it is exclusively over the computer or iPhone (Hulu, Amazon, Netflix, iTunes). However, I've been running into a wall on two shows: True Blood on HBO and Dexter on Showtime. I have not been able to get a live person on the phone for either company to answer my questions, and the automated system is less than helpful.
I have watched seasons 1-6 of Dexter and 1-4 of True Blood. I know TB Season 5 is nearly over if not already finished, and I have yet to be able to find a single episode for legal streaming online. Dexter Season 7 has just started, and I'm not finding the first episode out there either.
I do not have a TV or cable provider because I don't have a TV. I use DSL on my computer and a cellular hubs (not wireless) to use my iPhone.
My basic question is: Is there a way to subscribe to HBO and/or Showtime to be able to watch their shows on my computer or iPhone WITHOUT a TV service provider? And if not, is there a way to have a TV service provider just to subscribe to those two companies without subscribing to cable or having a regular TV hook-up? Please help! I really don't want to wait several more months before TB comes out on DVD, or a year before I can see Dexter again.
