Dingus McKringus (@your_worm) reportedOn March 15th I ordered @AEW REVOLUTION from @hbomax. The stream did NOT work that night. There are still posts on here confirming that. I paid 42.19. I had to purchase the stream from Amazon so I was out another 50 dollars. I asked for a refund that night. Because I purchased

maligator (@kohoccm) reported@LGUS @hbomax Bought an LG stove Dec 2025 — broke within a week. 5 service visits, none fixed it. 4‑hour windows cost me work/pay. Escalations ignored, no callback. LG service is terrible — do your research before buying.
-
Jp *checkmark (@RealJPSquared) reported@hbomax if you can't competently stream live sports, give it to someone else. Choppy, audio goes out of sync... This is the worst garbage stream I've ever had to deal with.
-
Alt Mhor (@AltMhor) reported@hbomaxhelp I have tried to explain the issue to multiple customer service people and got nowhere. I missed all the games last night because of this. You're too late, subscription cancelled
-
Synchronicity (@74Synchronicity) reportedDear @hbomax and @NOWTV - why can't I download The Pitt onto my iPad to watch on a flight tomorrow? Is it a glitch with the new platform on Now TV, is it a problem with this series or is this simply unavailable for download for Now TV Subscribers?
-
Texas Bob (@BasedBob210) reported@hbomax you know this isn’t going to work right??? Why do you guys feel the need to do this to beloved characters for? #BlackSnape
-
Alfred (@ADlDAS5150) reported@hbomax why is audio description on on the new season of primal why doesn’t it let us turn off? Can you please fix this f’n thing?

She said everyone was ******' in the ER. "you could see the ambulances shaking" @hbomax do something
-
Matthew (@mattbo_0) reported@hbomax Terrible tagline. Guess Hal dies.
-
Skyler Daredevil Spoilers (@HorrorFanSky) reported@JamesGunn @hbomax Awful tagline
-
Drew Griffin (@VenusHeadTrap) reported@CutSchumacher @hbomax I like your optimism. But as I recall a lot of work was done on A3 assembly. There’s even some muffled dialogue. The BF work print I saw was great and feels like a finished film, but it has that disruptive time code over the picture and borrowed music from popular movies
-
Andey E (@AndeyRay) reported@hbomax why the hell is @dennyhamlin on board camera just facing him. Show us the racing and what’s out front. This is terrible @NASCAR
-
Aaron (@Azwilko1997) reported@mangAman_vp @hbomax changing aspect ratio is intentional by the director. as fo bad quality thats just streaming in general compared to a disc
-
coach mack (@onceugomack) reported@hbomaxhelp audio keeps cutting out on the March madness games. No need to respond just fix it
-
ProfessorHulk52⚾🏈🏀 (@professor5269) reportedThe worst streaming app by far is @hbomax @HBO
-
Bonnie (@JohnnyBoyp7g5) reported@JamesGunn @hbomax Awful color and it’s called a corps for a reason
-
zack (@GLLGHR301) reported@hbomax @aaronrift Hi, I had this issue last night too with my PPV, but the customer service chatbot kept putting me in a loop and I never got resolution.
-
Kakarot (@King003001) reported@JGreenhouseftw @PsychoDad7820 @hbomax There’s no such thing as trans. It’s just men and women. Some men like to pretend to be women and the other way around too. Those are sick people that need help
-
Michael Shilling (@MikeShilling) reported@hbomaxhelp I'm not doing a chat bot when it's your audio engineers not doing their jobs. Announce team to 90ish percent to overmod, the crowd should be 70ish % of that and the ring mic should be 40ish % of the crowd. Problem solved.
-
joe cooke (@JOECOOKE5) reported@hbomaxhelp I don’t believe it’s a technical issue. It’s just the crowd noise is louder than the announcers.
-
OLDSCHOOL 2.0 (@OldSchool2pt0) reported@hbomaxhelp @JdotChilds The sound during the commercials is just awful. Streaming HBO Max March Madness games. Please change the commercial, it has a very annoying sound.
-
Spencer (@CatDadCards) reported@USMNT @hbomax You know how Hard Knocks picks awful teams that implode like the JY jets?
-
Daniel aday (@Daniel_Aday52) reported@JamesGunn @hbomax This might be the final nail in the coffin if this doesn’t work out
-
Jacob (@Jacob12462007) reported@hbomax why is streaming so glitchy? Just watching a show it freezes up after every commercial, I have to fast forward to get it to play again. Playback isn’t smooth, buffers regularly and other streaming services works fine so it isn’t my internet. Help!
-
EllyButt 🏴🇺🇦🇪🇺 (@WotBuwcheeks) reported@hbomax has awful coverage for the football, why the hell did @footballontnt move there?
-
HaveBlue77 (@HaveBlue77) reported@hbomax @DCOfficial So, when Supergirl flops, because of the backlash of having hateful people work for you, you’ll know why.
-
M̷s̷ ̷N̷e̷r̷d̷ ̷W̷o̷r̷l̷d̷ ̷O̷r̷d̷e̷r̷ (@ChibiRenjiLover) reported@hbomax it sucks that I can only stream the @AEW ppvs on one device at a time. I work nights so it'd be nice to watch from work while my husband watches at home... 😒😒😒
-
Gary Bibby (@garybibby) reported@NOWTV your trailer about @hbomax coming together has a spoiler from Heated Rivalry in it, please fix that.
-
CoaCoalt (@Coalt81) reported@hbomaxhelp Hi, I am writing to report a persistent issue with the Max app on my Apple TV 4K. Despite having a Premium subscription, my video quality remains stuck at 720p, while I should be getting 4K UHD or 1080p.
-
TheGreatBabu (@TheGr8Babu) reportedHey @hbomax y’all need to fix your app! At the very least, add a restart option to episodic shows. Spoilers and having to hit rewind is just bad UX!
