Don't let the cheap Comcast HBO deal fool you, cord-cutters

Money quote:

The No. 1 reason Comcast's offer shouldn't signal the start to an HBO-loving cord-cutter's dream: Time Warner brass isn't interested in them as customers, even though there's definite demand. The JP Morgan study found that a stand-alone premium content service like HBO Go or Showtime Anytime could sway 62 percent of that group to drop their existing cable service.

Hey everyone, I posted this in the related thread, but I'm really curious about it:

Has anyone in the U.S. had any success signing up for and using the HBO Go standalone service "HBO Nordic AB" through a VPN? It's only $12 a month in Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Denmark.

Is the content automatically subbed or dubbed, or is English the default?
