Amazon Prime has a way to "add" channels to your subscription[1]. This is an interesting idea IMHO. I liked the Prime app (which is still worse than Netflix) more than HBO Now and subscribed via Prime. There's a third possible path forward, one where you don't have to subscribe to tens of services and use tens of apps but still get content from a wide variety of providers - one where the content makers don't have to give up their entire catalogue.

The Apple TV's "TV" app centralizes the content from other apps you install, including HBO, Amazon, Hulu and Netflix. You can even set the TV app to be default "home" screen.
