HBO's Game of Thrones is coming to Singtel TV

Customers can also look forward to catching Westworld and True Detective through Singtel’s services.

Singtel customers can brace themselves for the final chapter of Game of Thrones as HBO Asia’s six channels will make its way onto Singtel TV and its companion mobile app Singtel TV GO on 1 February, an announcement revealed.

Along with Game of Thrones, customers can catch HBO’s popular shows such as Westworld and True Detective. HBO Asia’s streaming service HBO GO will also be available through Singtel’s video app CAST for mobile and smart TV sets from 15 March.

To celebrate the launch, all six HBO channels will be available for free preview to all Singtel TV customers from 1 to 28 February. Following the preview, HBO Pak which includes the six HBO Asia channels, HBO GO and HBO On Demand will be available as an add-on at $13.98 per month.

“We’re thrilled to welcome HBO to our entertainment line up and we’re pleased to offer our customers a month-long free preview just in time for the Lunar New Year holidays,” Yuen Kuan Moon, CEO for Consumer Singapore at Singtel, said in a statement. “This partnership marks a significant milestone in our efforts to offer the best and most comprehensive range of content in Singapore, which is accessible across mobile, broadband and TV.”

HBO joins an additional eight channels Singtel TV offers to its customers, such as Discovery Networks’ trio of lifestyle channels and the launch of its second in-house Asian entertainment channel e-Le. 

Meanwhile, StarHub announced its own HBO offer which includes a complimentary six months off its HomeHub plan along with a free six months HBO Pak subscription. Lower subscription fees for its HBO Pak and HBO GO were also introduced, with a new price tag of $13.98 per month from $19.26 and $19.90, respectively.  

Red by HBO will also be added to the HBO Pak and Supreme Box Office Pack at no additional cost.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
