  • April Update from YouTube
    Still seeing 3 on the website with the new pricing. https://tv.youtube.com/welcome/. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Switching from Fubo.tv
    TUDN is part of the base plan. I can see it in my guide without any addons. When I go to https://tv.youtube.com/welcome and enter my zip code it shows in the "all channels" list there too. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Bay Area Dweller Refusing to Buy Cable Subscription
    You can check what channels are available by inputting your zip code at this site. If NBC Sports Bay Area is on that list after you input your zip code, you're good to go. Source: about 1 year ago

  • 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
