    It's kind of ridiculous that @hbomax doesn't have this available right now, they should get on that after they fix their chromecast buffering issues

    @hbomax @HBOMaxHelp @Xfinity i cannot link (or sign in) using my Xfinity primary account. When I do log in it brings me to xfinity asking me to pay for HBOMax but I’m already subscribed and tech support at xfinity said I need to contact HBOMax this is crazy PLEASE DM ME

    @TeamCamiC @DIRECTV @hbomax I hope you dumped them. I have to get a third smartv so I can eliminate Direct. Over 20 yrs and I'm done. Their prices are insane. Customer seevice help was taken from US & sent to India. Prices go up, service goes down. It's the AT&T motto.

    @HBOMaxHelp @HBOMaxHelp i need someone from your technical department to actually look into it. I’ve done all the troubleshooting you suggest on the help page. ive tried 4 different devices to sign in @comcastcares xfinity couldn’t help said it was an issue on your end

  • dlschatz
    Deborah Legow Schatz (@dlschatz) reported

    So now that Warner Bros. is putting its new releases on @hbomax, will @comcast get its act together and get the streaming service onto its TV platforms? Big problem for HBO subscribers with Comcast. @comcastcares

    The fact that in the year of our lord 2020, @HBOMaxHelp S T I L L can't figure out giving people manual quality control is frankly embarrassing. Youtube has been doing it for like 15 years, yall.

    @Cdog89 @hbomax A lot of small functionality issues make it annoying, but mainly it super lags/jumps around when trying to browse. Great content though

    @HBO @hbomax Why can I watch #TheFlightAttendant on my phone app, but cannot find it on the TV channel?? #Help

    @hbomax the search option stopped working on my Samsung TV with your app about two weeks ago, your tech support was zero help. good job

    To @UniversalPics I am tired of your $20 rentals. You should follow @wbpictures example and work with a streaming service. I am signing up with @hbomax just for this reason. If you keep up with the $20 rentals I will actively avoid Universal films Cinemas included when available

    @LindsayMpls @hbomax What are you using it on? I've had minimal issues with my newer Google TV. Not tried it yet on the Firestick. Roku hasn't worked out a deal with them yet.

    The @hbomax app on the PS4 is just simply awful.

    @KatzInfGang @hbomax That's a weird u.i. issue I would say It could be internet related but you're smart enough to identify that as the issue if it was the problem!

    @HBOMaxHelp It does work, and it forces updates on the app. It doesn’t matter though, I cancelled it. Honestly most of the reason is bc of HBOMax not being on Roku, and we’re not replacing all of our Rokus with new ones for HBO. This is just a mess.

    @hbomax my only issue with @FlightAttendant is that you do NOT take a double decker train out of Penn Station to get to Westchester...
