Uhh, why is Uverse not under the provider section when I try to login?

HBO Go had a specific Uverse option under Provider options when you log-in. Max only shows AT&T and it doesn't work the same.

I thought this was supposed to be compatible with Uverse customers?

Didn't bother really looking at the lists, so Home Movies and Space Ghost: Coast to Coast is a pretty cool surprise. Hope they get Joe Pera and Sealab 2021 on there soon.

A little miffed that Ed, Edd and Eddie is nowhere to be found but I've watched some Dexter's Laboratory and an episode of Eastbound & Down and I have to say, the video quality is fantastic for a 1080p stream. Didn't notice much in the way of compression artifacts in dark scenes, everything was sharp and defined and there weren't any sudden drops in IQ which is something that Netflix seems to do whenever it gets bored of running a 4K stream for too long.

Between the high quality streams, the incredibly appealing catalogue (well, appealing to me) and the fantastic user interface, this is seriously impressing me. My $12/mo. entry fee for the first year is easily justified already and that's without some of the heaviest hitters that drew me to the service to begin with like the new Boondocks, Green Lantern, Dune: The Sisterhood, Overlook and the suite of HBO goodness that I've had to wait to grab à la carte since I dropped my HBO channel subscription back in 2016.

If they can get some 4K streams running without an additional fee within the next year or so and keep up a steady flow of new content, they're going to be sitting on one of the most appealing streaming services in the game.

So, I can't seem to access the HBO Max app on my Apple TV. HBO Now is still on my home screen, so that hasn't been updated. I search for HBO Max and I find the app listing, but all it says is Update. I updated it, but nothing happens. It just stops once the bar fills up and goes back to saying "Update." Is this a known issue or am I missing something?

Delete the Now app and install Max.

Go to the app store and update the app to hbo max. DId mine some minutes ago.

Also there's no reason why CW content like Flash and stuff shouldnt be on here. I'm guessing it's still those license agreements... urgh.

Yeah I had to manually update the app on my AppleTV and phone this morning, but it worked. Set up profiles for the family & watched a bit of Casablanca while working out.

You should be able to link your Uverse account on myAT&T and then login via your AT&T credentials by selecting the AT&T option.

Login to your myAT&T account and then activate your HBOMax benefit through there.

Kind of weird how the only CW show they have is Batwoman. But man, the amount of content here is staggering.

I really hope this does well enough that they actually invest in 4K content. Such a shame their originals still don't support it.

So this is just broken on Xbox? The Now app updated to Max, says Max, but the logo is still Now and I can't access anything. Keeps saying something about not being supported.

Delete the Now app/your current app and redownload Max. A bunch of forum users on both PS and XB have been having the same problem.

How much is it monthly converted to AUD?

~$22-24 so you're paying around the same price as Foxtel Now's Lifestyle + Entertainment package but movies are also included. Also note that you would need an iOS device in order to subscribe via iTunes and a US PayPal account because the website does not take non US cards.

Workaround for foreigners is getting a US PayPal account, linking it to a fresh US Google Play/App Store account and using your Australian/foreign card to subscribe to Max via that.

I wouldn't say so, unless you've heard people in Australia have had good results with speeds and buffering.

In Australia and no buffering on the website with 1080p quality.

I thought so too. The show is (or was, IDK I didn't check) on Hulu, so what the hell?!

I also thought it was weird that the hubs have some shows, like I didn't see Ed, Edd, n Eddy or The Powerpuff Girls in the CN hub but they're right there on the front page. Weird choice.

Rick and Morty licensing rights are shared between Hulu and Max so it was unlikely for Max to receive S4. Expect S4 to be released way later.

Anyone have HBO Now through Verizon? How were you able to login? It's not letting me sign in directly, but when I click Verizon as my provider, the login is for HBO Go.

After reading the FAQ, I should be able to sign directly in, but I keep getting a message saying that access is unavailable through my provider, which is completely false. Hopefully this is just because it's early in the launch.

To get HBO Max on AT&T 1000, the process is a bit different. You will need to login to your myAT&T account and then claim your HBO Max benefit through there.

If you're struggling to login through Verizon, I'd suggest contacting them later and seeing why access is denied.

Will the HBO section in the the Apple TV app eventually get updated with the additional Max offerings, or will I have to use HBO Max app proper to access that stuff.

they mentioned 4K HDR support is in the roadmap but any idea how long it's going to take?...weeks?...months?...if DC Universe has 4K HDR support (limited) there's no reason why HBO Max should not have it
