  • Max launch, FAQ, Info & Details.
    Does anyone know for how long the legacy HBO Max app/web service will be still available. I'm talking about https://play.hbomax.com/. Source: about 1 year ago
  • green bar flashing on and off in full screen video?
    So it definitely happens on the HBO Max app from the play store, but does NOT happen when I stream from play.hbomax.com in fullscreen...weird stuff...but also I don't remember ever seeing anything about a 480p limit from streaming apps, and the HBO Max app is definitely higher resolution than that, it looks exactly the same from the app to the website...thanks for the tip though, I guess I'll just use the websites...

  • How can I watch this show?
    Or are you accessing from some xfinity-specific HBO site and not https://play.hbomax.com/ ? Source: about 1 year ago
  • HBO Max, I have some questions.
    They no longer have a free trial directly but you can still get a free trial through Amazon or Hulu. You can also watch some free episodes by going directly to https://play.hbomax.com. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Why you have the option for just HBO without max for the same price for max?
    I can't access HBO Now, https://www.hbonow.com shows a "404 Not Found" error and https://play.hbonow.com shows some random HTML. Source: over 1 year ago
