HBO, in my opinion.

Starz. They don't have the original shows like HBO, but I hate most of HBO's original shows anyway. Plus Starz has the LOTR trilogy. 🙂

HBO. I had both for awhile, but got rid of Starz.

Is it some deal where you get it for free?
I was going to say (not meaning to flame) that both suck. It seems that 90% of the movies are the same, month after month after month.
If you're considering paying for one or the other, add netflix to your poll. Probably cheaper, and you'll have a better selection. Before I moved, I had all of the pay channels... HBO, Starz, Cinemax, TMC, etc. Over a span of 2 months, I tried to record as many movies as I'd like to watch - I have a dvd recorder. Every day, I'd look and see if there were any movies that I wanted to record to watch at a later time... every night before going to sleep, I'd look through the listings. After 2 months, and 30 movies (most of which are still frequently on), I realized that it would have been far cheaper to just get netflix.
6 months later, we had all the channels available again to us (moved and switched to directv; extra channel deal at a steep discount for a few months). Most of the same movies were still playing. I'd go through the listings, quite annoyed, looking at when the movies originally came out - 1984, 1982, 1990, 2001, 1988,... Very few were new releases.
If you have to choose between the two though, I'd go with HBO.

Correction, day after day after day.
Ever since I got a TV and cable box in my Room. I've noticed a lot more how repetitive HBO is.
The whole HBO Comedy, HBO Family, HBO 2, and HBO is all just the same. Shrek 2 on family while Shrek 2 comes on again 3 hours later on HBO on the same day no less. It's all computer generated programming. I don't think there is humans anymore working over there in cable HQ.
