I don't really get what in it for the HBO Max side to do this... getting a show that aired on the CW a day later doesn't seem like something that really moves the needle. I mean, I understand the Stargirl situation and farming it out to the CW, but this is the reverse.

But I love DC so if this ups the production values on stuff like Superman and Lois, I'm all for it.

I'm confused because I've seen it written both ways. This article says "CW then HBOMax" but there's a Group I'm in where the Creator has been accurately breaking DC/CW TV stuff and he said it would be "HBOMax then CW" like Stargirl...

I wonder if this includes the three new pilots CW just picked up: Naomi (based on the DC property), Powerpuff Girls and a reboot of the 4400 (which doesn't even seem that old to me)

"Adult animated Velma series" is an odd way to word that, unless this is a Harley Quinn-like reimagining or something.

So just to follow up on this issue with viewing alternate cuts of movies on HBO Max's Roku app, I still have the same issue.

I started the director's cut of Saw IV last night. Stopped after 15 minutes and went back and it just started all over again. The theatrical cut will pick up where it left off. I did add the director's cut to my Watch List, but it made no difference.

Huh, that worked when I watched unrated cut of the Change-Up a few weeks ago.

Decker

That's exactly how I took it.

In addition to the aforementioned Change-Up, I did just add add the Chronicles of Riddick Director's Cut to "My List" and watched about half of it. It held my place in the movie in both my Android and Roku app.

I had wondered why the Cinemax stuff didn't stream on the service.

I'm ok with people saying they want a particular show; at least he's not claiming he doesn't understand why it's not on there anymore. To be honest, I'd like it on there too; I haven't seen it in decades, and I remember it being a funny show.

Decker

I remember it being pretty much unwatchable.
Thought maybe I was wrong. So I checked You Tube. Here's the only extended clip available. I wasn't wrong.


But hey, Paul Dooley! And apparently, he's still alive, which blows my mind.

Giantrobo

Niiice. I never finished The Knick! HBOMax is kickin' some serious streaming ass

Dream On is not coming. And it will NEVER be coming. It's the ultimate Rights Clearance nightmare.

Giantrobo

Yeah all the clips and shit. Damn you for getting me excited OoooooldBoy!!!

It’s not even owned by HBO/Warners since it was not an HBO Production. Universal had home distribution for the DVDs. That likely lapsed. It has equal chance of showing up on any streamer if it ever were to, not just this one.

Does anyone else use the PS4 for HBO Max? And if so ... what's the current status of audio formats? It may not be everything, but many things I try to watch sounds like they're only 2.0 stereo or mono (despite being listed at 5.1 or Dolby Atmos). Internet searching shows that audio format support has been spotty, but it's unclear what the current status is supposed to be (or if there's any progress that's supposed to be made).

And if the PS4 app sucks, is there one better? Though I don't have any other streaming device (like Roku, Amazon Firestick, smart TV) at the moment. I have a good home theater set-up, so not being able to get at least 5.1 audio is kind of a deal killer for me for this service.

Sorry if this is something talked about earlier in this thread (a search didn't show anything helpful for me).

I hate the PS4 HBO Max app. It constantly crashes on me. Is the app any better on the PS5? I would get a Roku for my bedroom, but I only have two HDMI ports and I have both filled one with my cable box and one on a HDMI switch with my PS4 and Nintendo Switch.

Just watched a couple of eps of Head of the Class, better than I remember, totally watchable

Was just seeing a post somewhere where people were talking..going off actually... about how they are ditching Netflix and its price hikes for HBOMax and its better selection. 😄👍🏿

Tbf: Netflix has some pretty amazing original content. Queen’s Gambit, Chicago 7, Orange is New Black, etc. HM has content and movies, but severely pales in original content. Raised By Wolves certainly not setting world on fire...
