So I currently have a Max set up through my Hulu account which I think is the mid-tier subscription so I am only getting Full HD and not 4K. If I cancel that and get the 4K subscription from Max directly will my account still be the same? In other words will the profiles I already have set up transfer over or would it just be like signing up for the first time?
Why did Max take off Miracle workers? I was waiting for them to upload the final season....
College basketball was during March Madness. Is this a rights issue, with the NBA?
Barely works on roku. The time bar with options never goes away on ps4 (ik poverty). In my opinion it’s the worst streaming service to pay for. How do yall feel? It probably works good on some other platforms right?
I feel like I’m going crazy. Is my account just not showing the new episode or is this a mistake on Max’s part? There are no new episodes when I click this.
Hello everyone, just wondering what maybe be good, underrated thriller series / movies on max ?? I’ve heard True Detective is a really good series, and I just finished rewatching House Of Dragon before new season so any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks 🫡
I bought the subscription, clicked on the very first thing in the catalog I've could and I was immediately served a video that couldn't be more than 720p. It was all blurry and looked bad even on a 24' screen.
I've then tried a different show and I got something resembling the 240p era of YouTube. Completely unwatchable.
Trying to look up any solution redirected me to a few threads in this subreddit, all clueless to why is that happening. Some people suggested using Edge - what the fuck?
I've found out that Chrome at least has a quality switching plugin but then I've realized that I haven't had this subscription for even an hour and I'm already running into stupid shit like this and I already have to find workarounds for what is essentially basic stuff.
According to my e-mail it looks like I've been subscribed for whole 32 minutes. I've got charged for a month and I feel scammed. I no longer feel any guilt about any HBO show I've "borrowed" in the past.
So I'm helping my parents work out their streaming services. They're paying for multiple twice like Starz on both Hulu and Amazon for example.
They have the $15.99 a month Max (HBO) subscription but also I can log into a full Max account they have too.
Are these separate (twice paid for things) or does the Hulu subscription also get you the max log in and I dont need to cancel anything?
The Fellowship of the Ring regular theatrical version on Max seems to actually be the extended edition. I can tell because of the runtime. (Theat should be 3 hours, Ext is 3h49m). Anyone else having this error and know if there's a fix to this?
(Also, i'm aware the extended editions are great. Just showing the films to a first time viewer and thought theatrical would be less overwhelming)
I live in europe and I remember when it came out I saw it on hbo. cant find it anymore tho, anyone know where I can watch it?
I mean what things HBO max has that CN doesn't have?
When I watch Fury Road on Max it lists it as the Black and Chrome version which I would LOVE to see, but it's just the theatrical version with the wrong name. :(
Does that happen everywhere or can you choose between the two versions elsewhere? (I'm in Spain)
Hey, I was wondering if you, I signed up for the annual subscription last month, after using HBO for more than a year, and now they sent me and email that they’re transitioning to Max and the annual price changed. It says that starting from the 23rd of June this year and on the renovation date of my subscription the price will be updated. I was wondering if I’ll continue with this price, without having to pay until March next year and starting from then I’ll have the pay the new price or if in the 23rd of June, I’ll have to pay the difference between prices?
Thank you for the attention!
Pricing for Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia etc was leaked on the official website max com then removed
If I were to go with the annual plan would I be able to add the sports option once it's no longer included or would I have to go monthly for that?
Comment faire pour regarder hbo max en France j’ai acheté un vpn mais je n’arrive pas à payer vu qu’il faut une carte bancaire américaine est ce qu’il y a un site ou une solution pour voir ?
I’m trying to shop around. I currently have have YouTube tv. Does HBO max have live tv streams? More specifically like local channels?
Max is pretty much destroying itself internationally.
I live in Spain and some shows are being treated very badly by the platform.
Curb had a delayed release date by one week.
Last Week Tonight is not airing the new season at all.
And there's no release date or announcement for Conan O'Brien Must Go.
These are all supposed to be shows owned by Max.
I know the same is happening in many other countries.
What's going on?
I know a lot of people were asking when the next episodes would debut. I just checked Max and episodes 3 and 4 are now available!
I do not think there is anyway for me to check without buying it so can anyone confirm if there are audio options for these shows specifically and the majority of shows?
I know it says 3 screens but I am wondering if it is like Netflix in that they have to be in the same house.
Thank you.
I started to watch The Sympathizer yesterday and got a bit confused with the subtitles.
I'm from Spain and i usually watch series on English with English subtitles, when watching The Sympathizer, the parts where they speak English have subtitles...
But the parts where they speak Vietnamese do not have subtitles at all.
Was a bit confused, because they speak a lot in vietnamese and felt like i was missing big part of the chapter, then changed subtitles to Spanish and then...
All the vietnamese parts show the subtitles just fine.
I'm a little lost here, i don't know if there is an error with the English subtitles or what is happening here.
Anyone else with a similar problem?
Edit: Seems to be fixed now, tried English audio and English subs and it's showing correctly.
What happens to my profiles, history, etc when I cancel MAX through my TV provider and re-sign a-la-carte?
DirectTV has lost TVJapan as a broadcast channel because TVJ (NHK) finally decided to go streaming. I was a single channel subscriber that had my channel set to TVJ all day long 24/7/365. I didn’t need any other broadcast channels. I had HBO MAX as part of a free tryout with DTV and my husband decided to keep it for a while and paid for it through DTV.
So now, I’m going to cancel DirecTV. I assume that will also cancel MAX in its current contract form. If I we re-sign-up with the same email address as the one I used for DTV, will all my config still be there?
Please I beg of you
