It would have been awesome to watch the show live, but I was stuck working a late shift at DISH on Friday night. I was able to go to the HBO section of DISHAnywhere.com to get caught up. I love it, because I can access my favorite shows and movies from any internet connected computer that’s handy; I can even get caught up when I am stuck at work!
