Bell TV subscribers will have online access to popular HBO titles such as Big Love, True Blood, Hung and Entourage following an exclusive deal with Astral Media.

The content is now available through the Bell TV site at no additional fee to subscribers of Astral’s The Movie Network. Among the other series and specials accessible on the site are the Second World War mini The Pacific, Real Time with Bill Maher and the comedic drama How to Make It in America.

‘TMN subscribers expect the innovative, multi-platform delivery of our unparalleled entertainment offering, and we’re thrilled to add a robust and steady stream of HBO programming to our already-riveting content mix,’ commented Domenic Vivolo, SVP of sales and marketing at Astral Television Networks.

With the addition of HBO programs, Bell TV will increase its online offering to about 300 hours of content per week, with 25% being refreshed weekly. Bell also offers content from Family Channel and Playhouse Disney.

HBO Canada was launched by TMN and Movie Central in October 2008.
