Game of Thrones is returning for its third season and the powerful HBO drama based on George R. R. Martin’s complex fantasy series is highly anticipated. The show details the power struggles of the seven royal families of the mythical empire of Westeros, as well as the trials of all of those who get in their way. It’s often described as a “Lord of the Rings“-sized epic, though Martin hasn’t (yet) invented his own languages, and it’s sweeping grandeur and thick plot lines are exactly the kind of intriguing fare people look for from premium cable channels like HBO.
Now the much awaited third season is upon us and HBO has released trailers that show the last two seasons were simply setting the stage and this season will be bigger and better than before.

DISH beats DirecTV for customer satisfaction, value, and technology. When you switch to DISH you can save up to $800 in the first year alone! DISH customers pay on average 19% less than DirecTV customers, and they get better value and technology.
Hate commercials? Only the DISH Hopper offers Auto Hop that allows you to automatically skip commercials during prerecorded primetime shows with PrimeTime Anytime. DirecTV’s whole-home receiver, Genie, can’t do anything like that. It also can’t offer you TV Everywhere like DISH and Sling can, which allows you to watch live and DVR events anywhere on your smartphone, tablet, laptop or other internet connected device. With DirecTV’s “Everywhere” service you can only watch live TV in your home, except for a very limited amount of channels you can watch elsewhere. How is that “Everywhere”?
With DirecTV you could pay up to $30 to rent a movie. When you switch to DISH you’ll get Blockbuster @Home free for 3 months, giving you over 20 additional entertainment channels including EPIX, STARZ Cinema, Sony Movie Channel, and Hallmark Movie Channel. Plus access to thousands of movies, TV shows, and kids’ titles streamed to your TV, computer or iPad. You’ll also get HBO, Cinemax, SHOWTIME, and STARZ free for 3 months.
