Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020

If that's to me, both joining in the comparison of interfaces and library among services, including HBOMax, and yes, general lamenting about the paradox of choice currently in streaming services.

I guess this means they'll finally release Superman: The Animated Series on BD this year. They've had HD transfers more or less ready for a couple years.

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020

I've never had any issues using HBO Max until today, and it is now driving me crazy. I'm trying to start a movie on my Roku. The preview commercial for HBO Max comes up. No matter whether I select skip on the commercial, fast forward or watch it, once the commercial ends, it sends me back to the movie selection screen. I can't get the damn movie to start!

I've exited the app several times. I've even unplugged the Roku. Anyone else have this problem?

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020

So why in the world will the app load the Tom and Jerry movie without sticking a promo in front of it but Judas and the Black Messiah only allows me to play a commercial? Ugh. Most disappointing.

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020

Finally got the movie start. I have no idea why it suddenly decided to work. All of my software was already updated. It was just being buggy.

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020

We had something similar happen when trying to watch The Little Things. After about giving up, we decided to start another's title and it started to work. Then we went back to the Little Things and it worked.

Only had that issue 1 time. The significant thing that matches your situation was the commercial at the beginning.

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020

Today's the last chance to get the discounted pricing.

The special offer is available to new and returning HBO Max subscribers who prepay for six months at $69.99 (about $11.66 per month, versus the regular $14.99 monthly price). The promo was set to expire this Friday, but WarnerMedia has now extended that until March 1, 2021.

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020

Hey, here are some 14-day free trial codes for HBO Max. They expire at the end of the day today (11:59 PM ET), so please use them. They can only be used with a new account. A "new account" is just a new e-mail address that hasn't been used for an HBO Max account before.

If you don't want to be automatically charged at the end of your trial period, you can cancel your account immediately after signing up, and you'll be able to continue using it through the end of your trial period.

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020

FYI, the new WB HBO Max movie Judas and the Black Messiah has a whopping 8 1/2 hours of bonus features. Longer than the movie.

I counted all the run times. The interviews average about 30 minutes each and there is a lot of them. I know this movie doesn’t interest most of you, but that’s pretty impressive. Most won’t have time to watch them though.

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020

I didn't create a thread in TV Talk because there was literally no interest in it, but the FOX series Prodigal Son's 1st season is now on HBO Max as of today. The 2nd season is currently airing and can be streamed on Hulu.

It's a WB series, so that's why it's on HBO Max.

and Cold Case and Without a Trace are delayed until June.

Thats great. I hope we start getting more bonus features on Max. Loved watching all the making of documentaries on Lord Of The Rings when I had the DVDS.

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service launches May 2020

I think HBO Max mentioned they were planning an ad supported version before it launched. A little surprised they are doing it since you wouldn't expect premium content like there's to be ad supported. But then again, it's the most expensive streaming service and not everyone right now has the finances to support this service year round.
