HBO available without tv?
Does anyone know if it’s possible to get hbo for use through the internet in Mexico? I know you can subscribe through the internet in USA without tv
but they eliminated that possibility with my current vpn in Baja and I can’t seem to find any info on hbos website.

Get a better VPN and you can do it no problem.
Can also download GoT episodes from Torrent sites.

HBOGO is only available to people who subscribe to a video service which has HBO on it.
HBONOW is sold direct to consumers and works via the Internet, no video subscription required - but is not available in Mexico: https://help.hbonow.com/Answer/Detail/111
That FAQ link there offers info about how to get HBO from more than 50 countries, and Mexico is on that list, but... from there they link off to https://us.hbomax.tv/, which is in Spanish... not sure what your options may be.
Good luck, and let us know what you learn / where you land!

What is the best satilite dish tv.
I'm guessing that I will need every us channel I can get.
Although I use spanish tv to work on my skills.
I watch a movie or tv show that I know the words by heart and with captions.
I mimic it and make little scripts in my head to try and speak spanish to the nice people of baja.
They tolerate me with a smile and are very helpful... usually...

Any recommendations for a vpn company then? These companies are constantly trying to recognize vpns and block them. My vpn companies have worked in
the past but don’t now.

They will be put up w/in hours of the shows release. They are pirate websites. Not for the faith of heart.
You should have a VPN and need to download a torrent client, like utorrent.
I only do it when it's impossible to find something that you can pay to download.

Shows and movies that are older than 1-2 years, often can be found on free download websites or torrents. Many of them are virus/adware farms, after a
little browsing you will know it when you see it.
Fishbuck, you are amazing - asking questions off the top of the head, and that don't have a clear answer. I would imagine that San Quintin is covered
by quite a few US and MX providers. Top packages cost top money, as usual. US plans will include some Spanish language channels. Also, Dish Mexico https://ventasweb.dish.com.mx/index.php?dth=B starts from 206 pesos, though I think that watching that much soap opera is dangerous to mental
health  . Click on Dish Television on the left, to see the list of plans.

In case if it wasn't clear - Dish MX is not a Dish US sold on cheap for pesos. Completely different programming, some are Latino channels, some are US
channels, but it's almost entirely in Spanish. They have HBO package too, but I'm 99% positive it's in Spanish.
I've been trying to learn this language for over 10 years, can talk, ask, answer, and still a beginner. Every time I watch Mexican movie or show, I
realize how little I know. So I don't watch it .
Seriously, soap-narco-dramas with poorly made subtitles, dialogues of little practical use, all this at 500 words a minute - not the best educational
material. OTH, Mexican version of Judge Judy - "Veredicto Final" - is loaded with useful real-life stuff, and subtitles are adequate, but they speak
so very fast...
