History

In 2019, Vodafone Portugal confirmed the agreement with HBO Portugal that will allow the operator's clients to access the streaming service. HBO Portugal's official website has been launched. This action gave the operator's non-customers the opportunity to use the platform on mobile devices, tablets and computers. The availability of the service was launched with a catalogue of films, series, documentaries and other HBO productions for 4.99 euros per month. HBO Portugal is a brand of HBO Nordic, a subsidiary of HBO Europe, which from 2012 offers on-demand fixed subscription services in countries such as Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden (HBO Nordic is owned by Home Box Office, Inc, a subsidiary of WarnerMedia, LLC). As in Spain, the service works by subscription from the HBO Portugal website. Once the user has registered, he or she receives one month of the entire catalogue service free of charge. If the user is not satisfied with the service, he can cancel his subscription one day before the end of the month without any cost. At the end of the free month, a fixed monthly fee is charged. Customers who have contracted Vodafone TV services have between three months and two years of free subscription to HBO Portugal, depending on the package contracted with the Vodafone operator. HBO Portugal has the entire HBO catalogue (
