Are all of your original programs available on DVD/VHS? And how long does it take after an original appears on your service before it appears on DVD/VHS?
Not all HBO originals are made available on DVD/VHS. As a rule, stand-up comedy and music specials as well as most documentaries perform poorly in the home video market, so very few HBO originals of this nature have been brought out on DVD/VHS. Additionally, HBO does not usually retain home video rights to special sports events like boxing matches.

On the other hand, HBO original movies routinely appear on home video usually 6-12 months after the premiere, as do special mini-series events like From the Earth to the Moon and Band of Brothers. Also, our more popular original series --like The Sopranos, Sex and the City, Curb Your Enthusiasm, etc. - are brought out in season packages, though there is no routine schedule as to when each season is offered on home video.

Interested viewers can always check the News section of individual series websites for announcements on upcoming HBO Video releases or go to the HBO SHOPSM directly to browse existing titles.

How can I order a program that I watched on HBO?
Please go to the HBO Home Video/DVD page at http://www.hbo.com/store to order videos of HBO Original Programming.

Are HBO videos for Region 1 (U.S. market) only?
Yes. By law, because we are US-based, we can only sell Region 1 videos. Therefore, these videos can only be read and viewed by equipment from Region 1.
Does HBO replace defective videos or merchandise purchased from our online store?
Please go to the HBO SHOPSM and on the top right hand side click Help and you will notice several FAQ's regarding online store policies, returns and how to contact customer service.
