If you have to choose one, which would you choose? Each channel cost the same.

HBO.

I have all three and they seem to have more original programming.

I would get it just for Real Time with Bill Maher. his "new rules" segment at the end of every show is the funniest five minutes on TV every week.

It really depends on what you are looking for. Personally I only have Starz and I am content with that. Original programming such as Spartacus and Camelot is pretty good. They typically have the best new movies too. If I would get another it would be HBO. BOL!

HBO, then Starz, Cinemax has ok movies, but usually most systems only have a few channels. Showtime has a lot of good original programming, maybe the best on tv.
