I was thinking about ordering HBO and voila there's like a bunch of them offered by my cable company.

What's the difference between HBO, HBO Plus, and HBO Signature?

I get a large chunk of them with digital cable.
They're all the same really. The only differences are HBO Family, Comedy.
There is also a HBO Latino, and HBO Zone..Zone has more movies then the other ratio-wise

If you had to pick one, just pick HBO, if 2, then HBO and Plus
Signature seems to focus on older movies, with a sprinkling of modern ones
I like HBO1, Zone, and Comedy

I get five of them (plus the spanish voice-overed one) with satllite and it's mainly the difference in movies. If would skip the comedy and kiddie channels. There's a lot of commonality between the others. I don't watch movies but the Sopranos and "America Undercover" documentaries are a must watch.

For me, HBO and Digital Plus were hand in hand.
Just Digital Plus adds 15 bucks to my bill, and 13 HBO's added an extra 2
Whoop.
The only difference between HBO1 and HBO Plus I think, is HBO1 shows more regular shows then Plus.
I'd get both :)
