Glad I got it through Verizon but they are missing content I thought would be there day one, like Most of the DC animated movies.

so got it through youtubeTV but i can't find the studio ghibli movies on there? Are they not up yet? I searched for ponyo and it came up but it wouldn't let me access it to add it to my library or watch it... sadface

Just like Hulu you can't access these things from where you used to get HBO from. These extras are ONLY on the MAX app, so you need to download that and I think sign in via your YoutubeTV.

No Roku app is a HUGE problem. I subscribed last night assuming OF COURSE this would available day 1. Absolutely a total joke. I need to cancel now.

Any other internet-only Xfinity customers here been able to sign in? I can't. When I try to sign in I just get the "TV deals" Xfinity page.

I ordered a Flex device (for free). Do I have to connect and register it first to get access?

Still cant log into Max via my Now credentials. And because this was a forced update, I'm locked out of my account. Very frustrating.

Finally trying this out and the quality just doesn't look great (I never bothered with Now and I'm running this over VPN so take it with a grain of salt.) The old films and GoT which is what I've tried so far lot much worse than HD Netflix or Disney+ and I compared my Apple TV copy of Citizen Kane to the HBO MAX one it's night and day.

I'll probably cancel and just buy the WB Films I want to own in the future rather than having another streamer, might try it again in the future if they improve and add some originals I want to see.

Downloaded the app and since I already have HBO via Cox, the sign in process was pretty much nothing. It just asked if I wanted to sign in with Cox, told me to create an account and that was it. Pretty smooth.

Browsed through the catalog and at the moment, I just don't see the point of this existing. I guess most of the DC animated movies are still on DC Universe.

Speaking of, is DC Universe going to be folded into this?

PS4 Pro app is a special kind of awful. Takes a long time to populate graphics and it is really sluggish. Once a show starts though it seems to play ok. Terrible app though.

It's HBO's app? Do you see the point of HBO existing? If not, then this probably isn't for you I imagine.

It's unclear at this time. One of the big shows from DCU came over with Doom Patrol, but nothing else has been said.

Watch Doom Patrol, you monsters.

Seriously, it's the best piece of original content on DC Universe and you've got free access to it now.

Weird that the Pro is having issues and not the base PS4.
I click down, and then a second later it moves down. Just a world of difference between it and my iPad app. On the upside, the PS4 app shows everything in my watchlist on the scroll like Netflix. iPad only shows about ten shows and then makes you go to another menu to see the rest.

Oh shit, Ready or Not is up. I have been wanting to catch that.

It's going to be a busy weekend with the Ghibli catalog available

The PS4 app is so much more responsive than the old HBO Now app. I have a base PS4 and do not experience the 1 second delay of clicking down.

So I tried putting on Wonder Woman briefly on my Desktop. Wasn't really to watch but more to see how the video player functions.

My problem isn't necessarily with video quality. I don't need it to be the best looking video (even though I get that it's a legitimate complaint.) I didn't encounter ads yet, but we'll see if that happens.

I do have two issues with the Desktop player compared to Netflix and Disney+. The main issue is keyboard control. Sometimes I want to pause and go back a few minutes to rehear something or make sure I didn't miss something. Space bar pause does work sometimes. But forward and backward arrow control is not there. I really hope they patch that in soon enough for personal device usage. I know it can seem silly to some, but I do have some issues that cause me to not hear things or miss things. It would save a lot of time to use keyboard controls rather than the video.

Likewise, the video bar doesn't show an image preview if you're revisiting a movie or TV show and want to find a specific scene.

On the plus side, CC actually stays on. Which is an issue I'm currently having with D+.

Pretty happy with the Xbox app so far, but it would definitely be nice to have it on roku so I Wouldn't have to use a console controller to navigate.

Also, does anyone have a list of the best Godzilla movies to start with as a relative novice to the franchise? Is there any reason not to start with the original?

Is there no app for LG TVs still? What the hell?

Same here buddy. I'm waiting till I get off work to call customer support. Good luck on your end.

AT&T 1000 user here.

Make sure y'all are selecting AT&T as your providers, then use the same username and password you login to my AT&T with.

I've been using Touch/FaceID to login to mine so long I forgot the password and had to reset it, but after that, I was able to get in pretty easily that way.

Any word from HBO max regarding additional content they will be adding from which they own? Adultswim, cartoon Network and DC animated stuff is all slim pickings atm.

I am doing exactly as you said and have done it maybe 30+ times now but it still doesn't work. That's why I think I'll have to talk to someone.

They are missing a lot of content that they advertised would be available day one. They just removed that list too to cover their tracks...

Trying to watch the Wizard of Oz and it is bizarrely narrating it like I was blind...

No other movie or show is doing it.

So my partner and I are watching Friends, and it seems like the laugh track is much (MUCH) louder than the characters speaking.
I haven't experienced the same on movies or other Tv shows. Just want to see if it's just our ears or if everyone is experiencing this?

God, I forgot how fucking good The Fresh Prince was.

Though what sucks is how all the race issues it tackles are just as bad if not WORSE now than they were in the 90s...

All the extra content feels like it added light to what always felt to me to be a very dark service. I can see myself staying subscribed all year like with Netflix. Hopefully they keep filling out the CN and AS libraries.

agreed. The dc section is pretty sparse as well. I really hope they roll DC universe app into MAX.
live feeds for HBO are up now on YouTube TV you can sign up for HBO Max through your YouTube TV account for 1499 a month and six channels of HBO plus all of the on-demand content for HBO are available to you now.

We still need to login to the max app though for the max content
