So we should buy a new box for every TV channel then? The whole point is, that most  people have a streaming box or 7 already. The new HBO app was supposed to be convenient for those of us who are cable cutters. This is hardly convenient, to buy a piece of hardware for one app.

But you act as if Apple TV.. just has HBO Now.    it has a ton of other channels and its growing every few months.. Also has NetFlix, Hulu, Youtube etc..    So for $69 you get a box that does a good amount. If you have an iPad or iPhone it does even more..         This is most likely a VERY limited time exclusive thing anyway..    I am sure this will be on ROKU,  Amazon Fire TV, X1 and PS4 soon enough..   Before years end even..   or likely JUST after this season of Game Of Thrones ends..

UPDATE:  HBO confirmed this is a 3 month DEAL..  So by July we will see it on other devices..     (exactly after GoT ends lol)

Eh I think I mentioned 8 times that I already have other boxes and a smart TV as do most people. Therefore, buying an Apple TV would just be for HBO now, so yes, I am behaving like Iapple tv would only add one app for me, because it would. Netflix Hulu and YouTube work on 4 devices including directly on my tv as it is. Heck,everyone here has a games console that they all work on. Then the other channels you mention all need a cable subscription which would defeat the purpose of getting HBO now anyway. Ugh! Why am I repeating myself? :p you know well what I mean and that I'm right.
