    HBO Max HBO Max (Official Thread)

    It might be unfair to speculate before the new higher price is announced. But it seems having separate subscriptions for HBO Max and Discovery, then also offering a bundle for both, would keep subscribers happy. I have no interest in Discovery. So why would I want to pay more? And I really...

    HBO Max HBO Max (Official Thread)

    Minor frustration but curious if this is an HBO Max or an Apple issue... I stream an HBO Max series via Apple TV 4K in the living room. Then watch an episode on Roku Ultra in the bedroom on the HBO Max app. The Roku picks up where I left off. But when I come back to the Apple TV 4K, it...

    As I mentioned earlier, I've had audio sync issues when pausing, then resuming, streams on HBO Max. Only service I've ever that issue. I'm sure they've encountered a lot of speed bumps rolling out this much, so quickly, on several new devices. And the signups for Wonder Woman probably...

    Does HBO Max have a "Are You Still Watching This" feature like Netflix and Disney +? If so, how do you turn it on? Maybe some don't like this type of feature, but we find it a nice safeguard against endless streaming, especially for data. We stepped away and came back and HBO Max had been...

    Something I've experienced several times with HBO Max.... If I pause a movie and come back to it in a few minutes, the audio sometimes gets out of sync. This happened with several episodes of "John Adams". It happened again last night during "Glass". To correct it, I have to exit the...

    I don't really want to see Innerspace, but that's ridiculous. Just because they own the film and can show it, if there's not a good transfer, then just don't show it. Wait till one is available. Same goes for edited versions of digital rentals on Amazon - Several foreign and international...

    Didn't see this mentioned, if so excuse me....but HBO Max's 1-week free trial is no longer being offered. Probably the only major streamer without a free trial. It's due to the Wonder Woman movie being offered on streaming & theatrical at the same time. But that's not surprising. People would...

    This is big news. A year or so ago, remember that moaning/complaining/discussion by some in Hollywood and directors about Netflix's big films, not really being Oscar worthy unless they played theatrically. I could care less about any of the political soap-box, back-slapping, silly award...

    For some reason, I thought the DC Universe streaming service was to be part of HBO Max. I probably read that wrong along the line. Looks like if you want the DC Universe content, they'll leave most of those shows on DCU so you can just subscribe to both! I wouldn't be surprised if they rotate...

    Based on those 4 sentences, I wouldn't call it Amazon "ripping" them other than Deadline used it in their headline. Nowadays, "ripping" is used daily. "Congressmen A rips Congressman B", "So and so rips Twitter", "Washed up celebrity rips this or that political leader". UGH. Everything is...

    That's the truth about the average person. HBO Max launching today is all over LinkedIn in posts and articles. It's major news there today. Even with LinkedIn users being primarily business professionals, most just don't follow this stuff, as you said. The average person is saying just...

    The constant name changing by the companies for their products is confusing. iTunes Store is now Music and Apple TV (I think, but you can redeem the movie codes in iTunes - makes sense). Apple TV is an app. Apple TV is also just a device/piece of hardware, and not the same as the app you...

    ....a "lower-cost-ad-supported version" next year.... Ugh. I'm not going to pay for commercials. In fact, I deleted all those free movie channel apps from our Rokus because the ad days in this house are over.
