Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020
 

Not all of them. They were all from older films, but I don't think they were all public domain.

AV Club speculated the same thing a while back as the reason it wasn't on HBO Go:

There's several clips in this youtube snippet. Can anyone identify the movies they're from?


Edit: OK, I found an easy one. At the 2:53 mark on this video, they show the title card for "Hail the Conquering Hero," a 1944 Preston Sturgues film, that's still under copyright.

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020
 

Can you multiple stream on different devices? Can you share accounts or creds? Is that illegal?

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020
 

It's 5 devices / 3 simultaneous streams. I assume it's frowned upon but do as you want.

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020
 

Oldboy sure loves to share his accounts. :)

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020
 

Maybe read the terms of service instead of asking random people on the internet?

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020
 

No, if it’s not right, I won’t. Sincerely, didn’t know it was. I won’t bc they would have my cable logon and stuff. I’m sure would never do anything about, but still...

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020
 

does it say how to register other devices? Can I do with my account and they would never need my creds?

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020
 

You have to sign into the devices to register them, it's automatic - it basically means cached credentials so you don't have to go through the verification process again. Stuff like your cellphone or web browser doesn't count, but your Fire TV or Xbox One would (yes, they know you're using it on a Fire TV). You can view the page in your web browser.

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020
 

But they have to put my cable credentials in dont they?

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020
 

Most likely. Some use Access Codes instead but it varies by provider.

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020
 

Yes but they can’t do anything unless they go to your TV provider’s account management site.

And if you are worried about that then why bother sharing something you are not supposed to anyway.

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020
 

That’s why I was asking in first place, can you share or not? If not, I won’t, but if it’s accessible to others, like Netflix, then I’d do it...

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020
 

Yep you can. Not sure how often you have to relogin, but more info will be out as the platform ages.

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020
 

Of course it's not right. It's not what's intended by them (to share accounts between multiple households). It's not right with Netflix either. Is that what you're asking, or are you asking if it's easy to do and if they are going to call you out on it?

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020
 

Maybe I missed this last week so apologies in advance if this is old news.

https://www.cnet.com/news/warnermedi...azon-and-roku/

Didn't realize they already have the apps ready once the contracts are greenlit, which is good. So get it done already! ;)

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020
 

We’re approaching 1 week now. WM and Roku, Amazon need to figure their shit out and not argue about pennies.

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020
 

I want it to get done as well. I just don't understand how these huge streaming devices can refuse to allow this enormous streaming service on their platform -- especially considering unlike with Apple + , there is already a previous version of the service on the app.

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020
 

Something else I also noticed:
The "Last Chance" movies include some of the movies leaving HBO (not Max) at the end of June. But not all. And the non HBO licensed movies have end dates of July 1. This includes the last Hobbit movie that they just added. Heck, it includes all three Hobbit movies. Also apparently leaving on July 1 but not listed are all the non HBO DC live action movies (all the Batman 89-90s movies, BvS, Wonder Woman, Supergirl, etc.)

You have got to be kidding me.

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020
 

I wouldn't worry about those. Sometimes those old movies are stuck in old licensing agreements. But keep in mind, these movies can't stay here in perpetuity. They are licensed for xx period of time.

and if it's not something that you are planning to watch anytime soon, I wouldn't freak out about it. They will eventually settle all that.

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020
 

Those are pretty big movies, things that I would expect to be pillars of a WB-centric service, and it's also just what I found by browsing around. The more alarming thing is that the Last Chance section isn't complete. For instance, all the HBO shows that just left in May weren't on there.

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020
 

Will that Harley Quinn animated series be coming to HBO Max soon?

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020
 

Last I read there are no plans to. Doom Patrol is apparently the only DC Universe show they will share here.

Warner Media from the last I read is pretty adamant that DC Universe is not shutting down.

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020
 

Boo! :down:

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020
 

I bet DC Universe dies soon anyways. Doom Patrol is moving to HBO Max, Stargirl went to CW rather than DC Universe, and the Green Lantern series in development is going to be on HBO Max. Plus the Harley Quinn show is also being shown somewhere else (SyFy) already.

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020
 

Stargirl airs on DC Universe uncut one day earlier than the CW.

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020
 

June releases on HBO Max

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020
 

I was happy to see Doom Patrol included as I was not going to subscribe to two Warner services. I have plenty of their animated shows, animated and live-action movies, and comics to last me for quite a while.

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020
 

But still. It’s not a selling point when you can watch it on tv.

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020
 

After watching Wonder Woman I noticed there was no Man of Steel, then noticed that BvS, Suicide Squad, Wonder Woman and Justice League all leave 7/1 Same with the '89-'97 Batman films. Well that was fast. :scratch2:

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020
 

Later in the month it mention's Popeye season one.

Which Popeye series(1930s or 1960s or 1970s)?

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020
 

AT&T is exempting HBOMax from both traditional data caps and the soft caps on mobile unlimited plans. Netflix, Disney+, etc... those still count.

https://www.theverge.com/2020/6/2/21...net-neutrality

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020
 

Makes sense, DirecTV and HBO (non go) were like this as well.

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020
 

Oooh, neat, films like An American Werewolf In London and Lifeforce will be available this month, looking forward to watching some of the films on the list.

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020
 

Either it was a launch window promo to draw attention to DC or it's a soft cap that will be renewed on 7/1.

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020
 

Just canceled my HBO NOW subscription that was set to renew on Sunday, since there's still no sign of a deal for HBO Max on Roku. Gonna sub to Disney+ instead.

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020
 

Selection remains hit and miss for me. Only two Dirty Harry movies, three Kubricks. Maybe they’re working on it—who knows. :shrug:

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020
 

My rebill date is coming up. So I'm probably going to cancel this weekend. They don't seem to be in any rush to add Roku support.

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020
 

From what I understand one of the major stalemates is Roku’s commission for selling the HBO Max app through the Roku store. They want their piece of the pie for whatever that amount may be. I guess it must be more than what they currently get for HBO Now.

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020
 

Does this have Harley Quinn animated? Both seasons?

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020
 

no
