HBO (which stands for Home Box Office) is a premium cable television channel that specializes in showing movies, as well as original films and series.

Among the Henson productions that originally aired on HBO are Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas (1977), Fraggle Rock, (1983-1987), The Tale of the Bunny Picnic (1986), and The Ghost of Faffner Hall (1989).

In 1997, HBO aired The StoryTeller, both re-runs and "The Three Ravens," which had not aired in the United States of America, and The StoryTeller: Greek Myths, making its belated US debut.

In November 2006, two performances of Puppet Up! were filmed as part of HBO and AEG LIVE's "The Comedy Festival" at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas.

The home page of Halo.bungie.org.

Popular HBO Features

Movies Catalog

Halo.Bungie.Org's main maintainer, "Louis Wu", receives hundreds of requests a week to put up videos on the HBO website by Halo fans. Not all are accepted, however it is still a struggle because of limited bandwidth and the fact that Mythica.org shut down in early 2008. The actual Movies Catalog hasn't been updated at all since the movie "Hunter in AotCR Pit" (2004), but Louis says it will be updated. For now you can look for new updated movies in the News section.

Halo Story Page

HBO also features a Halo Story Page section dedicated to all aspects of the Halo story, from backstories, to reference articles, speculation and game transcripts. However, the most notable feature of the Halo Story Page is the Halo Story Timeline, the most detailed and complex timeline of the Halo series on the internet.

Character Scale

Comparing the size of a Hunter with Cortana.

Stephen Loftus created a site that allowed users to compare size ratios of different characters from Halo 1 and Halo 2. At the site you can choose a character from each list, hit 'Compare' and characters are shown to scale. The measure in the background denotes feet. (The Master Chief, for example, is exactly 7ft tall.)

HBO Trivia

• Claude Errera, the HBO webmaster, uses the name of the main character in Ringworld, Louis Wu, when posting. Ringworld is a classic science-fiction novel by Larry Niven which inspired various elements of Halo, not least the idea of setting the game on a ring-shaped superstructure.
• Bungie named a character after Errera: Corporal C. Errera.
• The website was mentioned in the credits of Halo 2 and Halo 3.
• During October 2008, HBO was cracked twice by an entity calling itself "TheDefaced". Both attacks, the first on October 25th^[1] and the second on October 27th^[2], replaced the main page with an image of a large face which linked to "TheDefaced"'s website.
