Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

The Max app on my Apple TV consistently starts shows with subtitles turned on - I have to keep going and turning them off. Anyone else having this issue. Only has been a problem since they went from HBO Max to just Max (i.e., the new Max app).

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

Me too. I just make sure to have the Max app updated as much as I can.

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

I never noticed since I always use captions.

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

Max’s new and leaving in Sept. Looks like they’ve added a lot of horror movies for Halloween

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

I don't use it that often but no issues with subtitles turning on automatically with the Apple TV. Latest tvOS 16.6 and the app updated recently.

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

I'm at the age where I leave subs on 24/7 and get annoyed when they're OFF. I would love that "glitch". :lol:

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

There was a time when the HBO MAX app on my Roku was causing the opposite problem. I use the Roku setting to have closed captions on all the time, whichever streaming app I'm using (Netflix, Prime, Hulu, etc.). And it would work just fine on those apps until I watched something on HBO MAX, and then it would somehow mess things up so that even though the closed caption setting was still on, no captions would appear on anything, even on the other apps. I would have to turn the setting off and then back on to get captions back. But as soon as I watched something on the HBO MAX app, it would mess it all up again. Was very annoying and it lasted for a few months, but I think it got fixed a while back.

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

Just got my reminder that my sub will renew to the HD yearly plan of $149.99. I'd have to upgrade to the full plan that includes 4K for $199.99.

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

Same here. I have a $25 promo discount on my AMEX card so that will help. But, I'm leaning to just staying with HD to save money.

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

You might want to wait and see if there are any deals in the fall or around Black Friday time, like there were the past couple years. I know there's been lots of belt tightening at the streamers, but it might be worth it to just let your account lapse for a month or two, and see if any deals come along, rather than lock in full annual price now, and then feel stupid if a sale appears in November.

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

That's exactly what I'm doing. I just got the renewal notice for Legacy $149.99. With Season 4 of Harley Quinn wrapping up there isn't anything else I'm currently watching. I cancelled and see what the holiday/come back promos are.

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

I know Max is super expensive, so some of you it might be better to wait. But, I think I'm good just using my promo on the $149 plan and get the $25 off now and not have to worry if they might offer a discount or if the discount is just for "new subscribers" There is still a ton of 1 hour shows and movies I'd like to watch on Max.

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

I really enjoy Max, but not sure I’d pay nearly that much for it. I’ve been getting it free from either my cable or mobile provider since HBO started streaming. That will probably end now that I’ve said something.

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

If you have AMEX card, watch out for their Member Week from Oct 9 to 13. Last year they have discounted HBO annual subscription that can stack with their Spend $XX save $XX offer.

Unfortunately I renewed using the AMEX offer before Member Week of last year. This year I am going to wait and see if they have the same discount before I renew. My current subscription expire next week and I am ok with waiting a month.

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

I've also been getting it free from my internet provider for a few years. It'd be a stretch for me to pay that much for it, but I will say it has the best mix of current/mainstream and classic movies to watch of any of the streaming services I've had. The TCM "brand spotlight" content really boosts its profile for me. And of course, there are a lot of quality scripted shows on it as well. I could be completely content with just Max and The Criterion Channel. My subscriptions are almost whittled down to that at this point anyway.

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

Yeah, they have a lot of good content, even with their recent purge.

I can find stuff to watch on pretty much every hub.

If I didn’t have freebies/deals/shared streaming services, I’d probably cancel them all and miss Max the most.

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

I just went ahead and pulled the trigger on the full freight renewal today. I'm perpetually in the middle of multiple HBO shows (currently Flight Attendant (S2), Warrior (S3), Doom Patrol (S3), CB Strike (S1), Rome (S1 rewatch)) so cancelling and waiting for a hypothetical deal to save $50 just isn't worth having to pause watching things.

It feels like a lot as a one time expense, but as a monthly expense I pay more for Netflix so...

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

I just broke down and subscribe to six different streaming services including Max. I want to watch all of the Nightmare On Elm Street films but for some reason Freddy's Dead does not show up in any search. Any suggestions?

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

It’s not on Max.

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

My subscription renewed a few days ago under Legacy Ad-Free for $149. I have my $25 off promo from AMEX, so $124 for another year.

It would be nice to have 4K, but I can't justify the extra $50 right now. That's a lot for only a select amount of movies and shows.

I wear glasses too and I barely notice the difference between HD and 4K. That's why I passed on the surcharge for 4K on Netflix.

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

Mine is set to renew next week, but I'm gonna switch it over to 1 month a la carte for $19.99 and then renew it for the full year the following month - 4K option. I'm noticing Max is starting to give the 4K/Atmos treatment to a lot more stuff, in addition to their TV series. Just watched Blade the other day in 4K / Atmos.

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

You can only buy/rent it via digital - it's not available to stream.

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

I use JustWatch to hunt down what streaming platforms a given title is on, and as Why So Blu? noted, currently it's only available for Rent/Buy, no subscription streaming service is currently carrying it.

https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/a...inal-nightmare

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

I use JustWatch every morning to see all the new additions to my services. If something looks interesting, it's real easy to add it to my WatchList. Plus if someone recommends something, as Jay mentioned, you can check to see which service it's available on.

As for Max, I'm thinking of paying the $199 yearly for Ultimate ad-free.

Max to add live sports.

Will be free until February and then will be a $10 add-on.

I'm guessing it will be mostly Turner Sports simulcasts, which will benefit cord cutters.

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

If one has Roku the "Search" feature does the same. It shows all the streamers showing what you searched for. :up:

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

The Apple TV app does this as well.

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

Yeah I'm all in on the NBA, particularly if it includes all NBA on TNT stuff. Throw in AEW while you're at it, c'mon now.

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

Yeah…I have youtube tv so the live sports doesn’t do much for me…but if/when they add the AEW library, and some/all future ppvs, I’ll gladly pay the extra $10.

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

So free until March Madness, then you pay. :lol:

That said, as you and others have pointed out, it's unlikely they'll have anything that you can't see on cable already.

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

I posted the full story under the CNN+ thread, but live 24/7 CNN content will be streaming on Max starting tomorrow under the heading of CNN Max
https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/24/media...ing/index.html

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

CNN Max appears on the News Beta tab. Looks like a direct feed from CNN. They just have their lower third ticker branded as CNN Max.

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

New to and leaving Max in October:

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

https://deadline.com/2023/10/directv...bd-1235563320/

DirecTV is apparently mad about Max streaming CNN Max live and it violates their contract. But, CNN claims that they are using the "international feed" who's rights are less restrictive.

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

The live sports tab (B-R Sports) is now up


Lots of MLB playoffs coming up.

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

There's a new English dating show on Max streaming now called Naked Attraction. It's.....something.....else.

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv...ax-1235597729/

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

That show isn’t exactly new.
It started in 2016.
I watched some of it years ago and it’s not great.
Reminded me of that show real Sex in that the naked part of it isn’t the good part of the show.

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

Yeah I meant new to America. Couldn't believe there are six seasons of this. That's a lot of naked British people!

Re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

I swear I watched a censored version of this on TBS or some cable channel years ago.

The Phillies Braves game has Atmos audio.
