Game of Thrones is a show that lives in the details, and sacrificing a high definition image just to see the show a few weeks early seems like madness.Ĭritics watch a version of the show that's significantly worse than the beautiful image offered via any other method. It's a good value proposition for those of us covering the show, but for fans? It's the worst way to watch. HBO sends the content on a set of DVDs, containing standard definition versions of each episode. We're able to get our coverage schedules, recaps and reviews all lined up nicely before the shows air but no one is ever going to claim the screeners themselves are the best way to experience the show. Screeners have immense value for critics due to their timing, not their video quality. "We’re actively assessing how this breach occurred." "Sadly, it seems the leaked four episodes of the upcoming season of Game of Thrones originated from within a group approved by HBO to receive them." HBO said in a statement. You can't stop the signal though, and the first four episodes of season 5 have been leaked online. HBO has always had an uneasy but not directly hostile relationship with Game of Thrones piracy, and the company has recently taken steps towards improving how the show is offered in order to make the product itself easier to access.
