I'll DL it when it's released on TV because it's more convenient for me that way rather then recording it from the TV (at best a week later, at worst a year or never). I do buy it on DVD or BR when its released on them however. So they are still getting their money in the end.
HBO and other providers need to get these shows through rating boards earlier, and have better options for viewing both online and on TV, globally. That and make DVD/BR options available a hell of a lot faster then a year later (should be a month or two imo).
side note: Ads on TV, I never actually sit through them. I usually either go to the toilet, or get something to eat, change the channel, or fast forward through them (if it's recorded). I've never actually purchased something because of an ad, so to me they are just a waste of time.
