If you’re a Game of Thronesfan and Silipa Dish or Sling TV customer, you’re going to need to subscribe to HBO Now if you want to watch the April 14 premiere of the hit TV show’s final season.

Since Nov. 2018, Dish and HBO have been involved in a disputewhich has left the premium TV network blacked out for Dish subscribers. Sling TV, Dish’s streaming platform, has been affected by the dispute as well.

As a result, subscribers to either Dish service have been unable to subscribe to an HBO package through their TV provider.

Dish has even gone so far as to set up a websiteexplaining to its customers how to subscribe to HBO Now, which it calls “similar to Netflix.” HBO Now is HBO’s standalone streaming television service, so it doesn’t require a cable or satellite subscription. Dish doesn’t receive any compensation for sending its customers to the HBO Now service, though the company obviously benefits by keeping its customers happy.

As of April 2019, the Dish-HBO standoff is in its fifth month, with neither company close to a deal as far as anyone on the outside knows. The channel blackout on Dish is HBO’s first in its history.

Negotiations stalled between the TV service provider and the premium TV network over a “carriage fee” dispute. Dish claimedin a 2018 statement that HBO's parent company, AT&T, wanted "a guaranteed number of subscribers, regardless of how many consumers actually want to subscribe to HBO."

As of now, it looks like the dispute between HBO and Dish will continue long after winter comes on the final season of Game of Thrones.
