“Will you guys be getting HBO back before Game of Thrones?!” one user tweeted to Dish Network Corp. recently. “I hope y’all work out a deal with @dish before the final season of @GameOfThrones,” another tweeted at HBO. “Looking for a new television provider. @dish can’t get along with HBO...I want to watch @GameOfThrones the night it airs!” a third wrote.
