Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

Either I have the movie on 4k or don't care enough for the movie to buy it on physical.

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

Yeah, I remember the days of 'What's Coming & Going on Netflix in April' (for example). 'Removal of 12 Major Movies' seems a bit hyperbolic to me.

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

Major?

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

Click bait at its worst.

Last month and this month, Max started issuing press releases with full lists of what’s coming and going in the upcoming month, which is a good thing since they neutered the Leaving Soon list in the new Max interface. Here’s the full list for next month:

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

HBO in particular as a linear channel changes up their lineup at the same time at the beginning of the month. But it's good that they're giving people notice again, always thought it was crappy to pull things with no warning considering they know in advance when they're pulling things.

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

Yeah it's just a small list, but it's still cool to get a heads up about any films coming and going. Apologies to all you cool kids that can't be bothered :( :lol:

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

Anyone having weird audio issues on the MAX app no Roku where the sound gets hollow? Like the sound gets weird and I have to go out of the thing I'm viewing and come back in to fix it.

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

It's not your fault Robo, you didn't write the headline!
FWIW posting the link without comment made *me* at least assume your post was in line with 'oh my god this is an outrage! They're DELETING 12 MAJOR MOVIES!!1'
rather than, 'here's what's leaving HBO in august'

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

Isn’t it actually 19 getting removed?

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

There are a ton of movies getting removed (and a ton getting added), they just picked 12 of them.

I don't know why they'd remove the Venture bros. christmas movie but ok.

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

Oh.

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

I think they're removing all of Venture Bros, not just the Christmas special. At least, on my Prime Max subscription, each season says it's leaving in 12 days.

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

Dang, there was that one screenshot someone posted with the old HBO Max logo that said they were leaving but I was hoping it was a hoax. Why? Ugh.

edited to add:
Wait screenrant said they reached out to Max and they denied it was leaving in August:
https://screenrant.com/venture-bros-...ckson-publick/

My app doesn't show a removal, so I hope it's not true.

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

They OBLITERATING 12 MAJOR MOVIES (and I believe 7 LESSER SEQUELS).

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

Looks like Max will simulcast live sports on the service this Fall. MLB, NBA, NHL and NCAA

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

For an additional charge...

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

Seems like a paid tier service mainly with sports airing on TBS and TNT (and I guess Bleacher Report). I wonder if AEW will get included. Depending on price, seems like a good option for cord cutters but if you already have those channels, maybe not.

Considering NBA on TNT (and AEW) are one of the primary reasons I still have cable though...

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

The CNBC article doesn't confirm a upcharge yet, but it's probably likely. Sports is really expensive and they just can't give it away at the current price tier, especially for cord cutters.

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

I might be interested in this depending on the price and commitments. Would like to get MLB and NBA playoffs.

Wouldn't want my normal Max subscription to go up if I didn't get these.

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

Considering they bent over backwards to allow the Discovery+ folks to keep a cheaper subscription even when the services were combined, I'd think they'd want to allow the Max subscribers to have a choice as well (because sure the price would go way up for everyone otherwise). I guess we'll see.

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

YTTV just gave us 4 months free because we bought NFL Sunday ticket.

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

New annoyance with this piece of shit app. Pausing something causes it to go back 1-2 minutes in whatever I am watching. I can't believe they thought this app was better than the HBO Max app.

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

Does it go back as soon as you first pause or when you hit pause again to resume? Mine works fine but I'm on a Fire Stick.

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

When I hit the play button to resume.

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

I checked it out on The Flash and it works as it should.

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

I'm having this right now watching Flash on my Roku sound bar. Hit pause come back and hit Play and it takes me back to the same scene where I hit pause earlier.

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

Yep. Having the same issue on the Roku MAX app. Noticed it the other day.

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

Me too! Just happened while watching The Flash on the Roku MAX app. Paused it once about 15 minutes in. Continued watching and then paused it again about 90 minutes in. When I tried to continue, it took me back to that earlier pause point. Weird.

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

Hm, sounds like a Roku app issue then. I tried it on my Fire TV Stick, and it works fine.

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

Yep, pretty certain its the Roku app. Same issue as well.

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

Yup, on a Roku. Such a buggy shitty app.

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

They should not have messed with the previous Roku interface. All they had to do was rebrand it. The app does have the glitches that have been mentioned. Also, what I have experienced is when I visit the "Warrior" page, the artwork does not show up. It's a blank screen that you have to scroll down to locate the episodes tab.

The other thing I don't like is how they ditched the bonus features for some of the movies that had them. And I don't like how they present new releases and how they present movies that are leaving at the end of the month. It's hard to keep track.

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

Special 2 month promo with some AMC+ content being available on Max

Twitter

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

Still can’t get audio to play correctly since the max switch. Maybe I’ll try it on my ps5.

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

My Max subscription is scheduled to renew on September 11th.

I'm curious, Is or has anyone renewed for the Ultimate Ad-Free plan that is $199? I'm just wondering if anyone thinks it's worth the extra $50 from the regular Ad-Free plan.

Do you think paying the extra $50 for 4K for the year is worth it? That seems to be the real big difference.

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

My subscription also renews at the end of September and if I remember correctly, they're giving me a $50 discount to renew for the year. $149.99. I do believe the 4K is worth paying for. I mean, it is for me.

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

AMC plus content is now up.

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

Unfortunately a very limited selection from AMC+, nothing on my list is included. Still waiting for Max to pick up season 4 of Nancy Drew.

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

Yes, the amount of shows from AMC is limited as mentioned above when I posted the news.

Fear the Walking Dead has the most content, but this forum has completely fallen off on it. Gangs of London is a worthy watch, especially the 1st season, if you haven't seen it. It's "The Raid" quality action.

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

Unfortunately they don't have the last season of FTWD.
