    @hbomaxhelp Been in an email loop with support doing the same troubleshooting steps repeatedly. Issue: Friends degrades in picture quality after ~15-20 min, every time, only that show. App updated, reinstalled, TV restarted — multiple times. Need actual escalation.

    @hbomaxhelp Three hours deep into a show to fix it is diabolical.

    @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.

    @marykayfabe @hbomax @AEW Was able to get it to work on a laptop. Usually we watch on the Max app on Xbox, but it wouldn’t work. Never had that issue before. Hopefully it’s an isolated incident

    @alissaTweets @hbomax @TonyKhan Highly doubt it. I once had a streaming issue with another service that wouldn't refund me, so I unsubscribed next day.

    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?

    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

    @wbd @HBO @hbomax Congratulations! Thanks to you, the entire Harry Potter franchise has become a laughingstock. Every day there are mocking edits, and you don't care about these complaints at all! You're awful, absolutely awful!
