Aussies to buy HBO through Quickflix

Quickflix will soon offer HBO series to Australians.

Australians will be able to buy HBO series through Quickflix without subscribing to the service.

Quickflix has announced that it has entered into an agreement with HBO to offer its television series to customers in Australia.

Customers will be able to purchase and instantly download or stream the programs to smartTVs, game consoles, mobiles, tablets, laptops and desktops regardless of whether they are Quickflix subscribers.

The new agreement allows customers to buy current seasons of select series on an episode or full season basis.

A Quickflix spokesman said prices had not yet been determined but he expected them to be competitive with iTunes.

While there was no exact launch date yet, he said it would start sometime in May and current series of Game of Thrones and True Blood would be among those offered.
