    @hbomaxhelp I been trying to watch the @AEW Revolution PPV on HBO MAX and between the audio issue and now the streaming issues. This is one of the worst purchases I ever got for a pay-per-view

    @hbomax @SportsonMax @Seahawks Has anyone else been cut off from their sports, previously on discovery, then mysteriously transferred to HBO max but can’t access sport? I’ve had terrible trouble getting this resolved, any ideas?

    There is genuinely no excuse why I can watch Revolution on my phone with NO ISSSUES but the second I try it on the TV it doesnt work. Get your **** together @HBOMAX

    She knew what he was capable of. She asked for help. She tried to stop it. But without a crime, no one would intervene. And she was left waiting, knowing something terrible might happen. Watch “Evil Lives Here: My Child The Killer” Tuesday on ID and stream on @HBOMax. #EvilLivesHere

    @NOWTV your trailer about @hbomax coming together has a spoiler from Heated Rivalry in it, please fix that.

    Steveg561 (@SteveG561) reported

    @TonyKhan this deal you’ve made with HBO has made it impossible to watch your PPVs. @hbomax has the worst customer service I’ve ever seen in my life. Literally no help or assistance whatsoever to give me access to the PPV or to get my money back after waiting hours. This is bs.

  • TheGr8Babu
    TheGreatBabu (@TheGr8Babu) reported

    Hey @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!

  • Goldenfacexxx
    Goldenface (@Goldenfacexxx) reported

    Please @aew fix the #AEWRevolution stream on @hbomax It’s so unfair to pay money and get every match spoiled through X because the stream won’t load.

  • OG_PEPPER_SAUCE
    OG_PEPPER_SAUCE (@OG_PEPPER_SAUCE) reported

    @hbomax Please fix your issues. I just wasted $40 on a PPV that will not load Just a spinning circle. Absolute garbage. You could take some notes from Netflix.

  • GardenCenobite
    Matt (@GardenCenobite) reported

    I really hope that if they're going to be buying @hbomax which is an app that actually works on smart tvs, that @paramountplus will revamp their app, which is the worst app on the planet. Literally only app we have issues with constantly for no reason.

    @hbomaxhelp @DatMane2k Can't watch AEW Revolution 2026 replay on HBO MAX. Its just a black screen with loading circle. Tried 5 times and can watch other stuff on Max just fine. I paid for PPV, so plz fix

    Kyle Broflovski (@BigDaddyWarbux) reported

    Help please! Still on a social media blackout because I don’t to be spoiled. I’d appreciate any look from @AEW @hbomax @TonyKhan — I’ve never missed a PPV yet! Very disappointed. The watch party and 100$ in pizza and wings was a waste 🙁

    Dear @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?

  • HardingJay1981
    U Mug (@HardingJay1981) reported

    @hbomaxhelp so you can't help me then? shall I just delete my subscription ?
