  • SoNotKidding Cat (@SoNotKidding) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Fixed it. Seems like the HBO app doesn’t support Dolby Digital over HDMI, so I changed the audio setting on the Fire Stick back to “automatic.” Seems like an upgrade that could be made for the app, but the issue is resolved now. Thanks!

  • ChrisWrightActs Chris Wright-Garcia🖖 (@ChrisWrightActs) reported

    @VictoriaMahoney @hbomax Double-clicking the TV button on the Apple Remote brings up the force close option which seems to always work for me.

  • MiguelMcD Michael J. McDonald (@MiguelMcD) reported

    @VictoriaMahoney @hbomax Was just looking online for this same damn problem. I need two finish Episome 3 of Kate Winslet‘s weird accent

  • viznix The Mark ᶜᵒˡᵉ of the Beast (@viznix) reported

    .@hbomax seriously, I love you, but your **** is ALWAYS ******* up. I don't know what it is, but I constantly have issues and yours is the only streaming app I have problems with

  • YesYoureRacist Yes, You're Racist (@YesYoureRacist) reported

    @iucounu @hbomax It was like 20 years ahead of its time – its main problem was just that it was made in the 90s

  • SmilinChica Gina Obewan (@SmilinChica) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I checked my connection and its fine. All my other apps such as Sling, paramount plus, Disney plus work without issues.

  • CrazyJekyll jake. (@CrazyJekyll) reported

    @calscruby @hbomax @MKMovie Complaining abt the script is fine. It makes the fight scenes feel like there is no weight or impact. I wasnt expecting a good script but my god was the script terrible. Characters that are not named scorpion, subzero and kano felt bland and weak. Its a fair criticism.

  • SmilinChica Gina Obewan (@SmilinChica) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I gave you my device. Are you going to help me?

  • challer49 Dr. Chad - vaccinate & mask up! (@challer49) reported

    @hbomax on @Roku device: Was watching Valley of Tears in Hebrew with subtitles. Suddenly the subtitles disappeared - can't get them back. What gives? The English-Hebrew display only says "He" now for Hebrew. Is that any help?

  • HordAndrew Andrew Hord (@HordAndrew) reported

  • SmilinChica Gina Obewan (@SmilinChica) reported

    @calscruby @hbomax @MKMovie Annihilation has assbustingly hilarious terrible acting. **** has the production value of a homeless puppet show

  • Frankieisfat gooner frankie (@Frankieisfat) reported

    @hbomax @MKMovie Y’all wanna fix the app for @SamsungTV because I can’t even load into the app

  • TheRudim3nt TheRudim3nt (@TheRudim3nt) reported

    @MrHandSurgeon @nerdist @hbomax Whose "we"? The general consensus is, when the writers of GoT didn't have GRRM holding their hands, they produced a beautiful-looking but otherwise terrible story. The writers simply weren't up to the task.

  • bowtiedbeyonce Michael John (@bowtiedbeyonce) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @r8terfan99 Can you help me too? The app keeps freezing on Apple TV

  • pjweakly Philip Weakly (@pjweakly) reported

    @hbomax @HBOMaxHelp why do I have to delete and reload #HBOMax from my @AppleTV after each episode of GOT? I haven't had any other issues.

  • SmilinChica Gina Obewan (@SmilinChica) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp That didn't help. I barely got 5 seconds of viewing time.

  • TweetOfKyle Kyle (@TweetOfKyle) reported

    Anybody else have issues with @hbomax loading on Samsung TVs? Mine will just load and load and load forever and nothing. It happens a lot when I try to go back to the Home Screen but sometimes I can’t even open the app.

  • SmilinChica Gina Obewan (@SmilinChica) reported

    @hbomax they removed me from commenting on their post. So because I have a problem your blocking me. That very unprofessional of you guys. Blocking out those who have issues because you CAN'T FIX IT

  • JefferyZavadil Jeffery Zavadil 🌹✊🏼 (@JefferyZavadil) reported

    Hey @hbomax why do I have this Eternal Recurrence nightmare of you thinking I need to renew my damn subscription every month? With no way to even easily do so? If you can't remember that I regularly pay you money, at least provide a ******* easy push-button fix. Jerks.

  • d47m122 Dylan Miller (@d47m122) reported

    @hbomax, why is it that every show I watch stop constantly to buffer? No other streaming platform has this problem for us.
