Verizon and John Olivers Last Week Tonight -- HBO Subscription, but guess what is charged?

.

I have the FiOS Ultimate HD package with HBO.

I am entitled to all HBO shows On Demand for recent weeks.


While scrolling through the episodes of John Oliver's Last Week Tonight something really weird happened:


Episode 27 (10/27) - US Pulling Out Of Syria, FREE

Episode 28 (11/3) - How Voting Machines Work and Trump Attacking Witnesses, NOT FREE $1.99

Episode 29 (11/10) - SLAPP Suits, FREE

Episode 30 (11/17) - The current week, no description. FREE


For some weird reason, all of my episodes are free except for the one dealing with voting machines.

With others with Verizon or other cable providers, do you see Episode 28 being charged?

I am on DirecTV and I don't get a line item of each episode. I was able to watch on HBO Go and the episode aired with no problems.

Somethings they do are illegal but they pretend it is a mistake.

Caught them trying to charge me for 13 months in one year. They are horrible. I wish I could get another carrier but they have a monopoly here in parts of east TN.
