AT&T offers free HBO to Unlimited Plus users

AT&T is sweetening the deal for those on their Unlimited Plus data plan. You'll get free access to HBO, whether or not you subscribe to U-Verse or DirecTV.

This goes alongside other pre-existing perks, including a $25 per month credit for DirecTV, U-Verse TV, or DirecTV Now.

In case you aren't privy to the terms of this plan, AT&T offers unlimited data, talk and text, including 10GB of mobile hotspot data which is slowed to 128Kbps after you hit the cap (but otherwise unlimited, too). Of course, the unlimited plan itself comes with a certain limitation of speeds, with AT&T slowing you down after 22GB per line. Still, that's a lot of data for one line, and the ability to keep going without any added charges is better than exorbitant overage fees.


The plan comes in at $90 per month for 1 line, while 2 lines get it all for $145 per month, any additional lines adding another $20 to that. Knock off the chunks you get for AT&T's video savings and it turns out to be a pretty decent value. Be sure to explore the plan options right here.

All the major carriers offer similar unlimited plans these days, which means cell providers are going the extra mile to entice customers to use their service. The latest is AT&T, which announced today that it will be offering free HBO to customers on its top plan, the $90-a-month Unlimited Plus service.

Surprisingly, there aren't too many catches beyond that. The deal only applies to the Unlimited Plus plan, which allows users to stream in HD if they choose. Although, like most other plans, AT&T may slow your data after you burn through 22GB in a month.

AT&T is offering the free HBO in three ways: if you already pay for HBO through DirecTV, DirecTV Now, or U-verse, then AT&T will simply make that free. Similarly, DirecTV, DirecTV Now, and U-verse subscribers who also have Unlimited Plus plans will get access to HBO's channels automatically if they don't already have them, while customers who don't use any of AT&T's video services will be able to access HBO through either DirecTV Now or HBO Go.

It's worth noting that AT&T is currently in the process of acquiring Time Warner — which, among other things, is the parent company of HBO — although this newest offer is taking place before the deal has closed. AT&T also recently began to include free HBO service for subscribers to the most expensive channel tiers on DirecTV Now last month in a similar effort to attract customers to the video service.

Why would you want to build your own VR backpack? To save money and move freely!

One of the first issues we came across with the  HTC Vive  was the cable that follows you around the room, potentially tripping you up or pulling on the headset when you've taken time to get a perfect fit. While mainstream wireless VR systems are seemingly somewhere around the corner, some PC manufacturers have taken it upon themselves to create the next best thing: VR backpacks. The cable running from your PC to your headset is no longer a problem, and immersion is taken one step further. Unfortunately, these backpacks are usually prohibitively expensive, and, besides, you might already have the hardware needed to create your own. Is it possible? Is it worth the time? Let's find out! Pre-built backpack options Before we get into building our own backpack, let's take a look at some pre-built offerings from HP, ZOTAC, and MSI. HP OMEN X For  about $3,000 , you can grab this sleek, compact PC with an Intel Core i7-7820HK quad-core processor (CPU), an NVIDIA GTX 10...

There are still more than 65 million people playing Pokemon Go Last Summer, we saw Pokemon Go storm onto the scene making news headlines across the globe, for better or worse. The craze has definitely died down a bit, but Niantic shared that the game is still touting more than 65 million players.
