  • Anyone else not able to access 4K content on MAX?
    No. I got my sub directly from HBO. Are you checking your sub on max.com? If you are and it isn't saying "Legacy Ad-Free" then that's why. I'm not really sure how they handled subs through 3rd party though and it's possible those were never going to get legacy features. Source: 11 months ago
  • 7780 text from AT&T (attwrls) regarding HBO Max
    This is a valid message and link that redirects to max.com. Source: 11 months ago
  • HBO MAX became just MAX.com Ubuntu+Firefox = failed login
    Cleared everything and even did a hard refresh (Ctrl-shift-R) as max.com suggests and no go. Multiple restarts made no change. Source: 11 months ago
  • Help! Max app STILL crashing on launch on Chromebook
    Same here, it works if you leave it on phone size. Changing the size under resize or picking Tablet causes it to crash whenever you open it. It does work in the chrome web browser just going to max.com. Cleared all the app memory still fails. When I was using the old "HBO MAX" app it worked just fine. Source: 11 months ago
  • The new WB MAX app wont give ray fischer an icon but ezra has one. 😑
    One of these file names is not like the other. You can figure out why. Use the max.com website and check the file names for yourself. Source: 11 months ago

  • 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: 11 months 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... Source: about 1 year ago
  • 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
