Lucy Wheater (@loose85) reported@hbomax can you help me out - my Samsung tv keeps freezing when trying to watch the Giro - had this issue on Discovery and looks like it’s back! 🤯
-
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
-
Leah/Blood (@BloodyP9075) reportedAre all live sport streams on @hbomax terrible? I was excited to watch this @penguins game there being out of market, but the stream is so bad I couldn’t.
-
aemond’s scar🖤 (@aemonds_scar) reported@hbomax @HBOMax_Nordic nobody wants to work these days
-
Bob V. (@33Rounds_perMin) reported@hbomax stream freezes anytime I’m watching a live show immediately when it goes to commercials. Need to exit and watch live to fix it. This on a Fire TV product.
-
Mr Danny (@spinningoutaday) reported@andyjd747 @hbomax It’s effectively a downgrade. We had UHD and Ad Skip on our Stream package but now shows we previously could watch are only on HBO Max in awful quality with ads.
-
Nishtha Sadwelkar (@Nishtha11193) reportedWhile @JioHotstar @hotstar_helps makes news about bringing @hbomax to India, they continue to block premium users accounts every single day for 24 hours at a time. Utterly and completely useless. It has been 3 weeks my father is continuously harassed by this with no help.
-
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.
-
Fronkensteen (@Fronkensteen) reportedDammit, @hbomax … the finale of #DTFStLouis hurt my soul. Floyd Smernitch deserved so much better. 😭my tiny bird heart is broken.
-
Cheeto (@UTDCheeto) reported@JamesGunn @homeofdcu @hbomax About to be the worst GL adaptation if we can’t have both John and Hal using the ring
-
Adam Santino (@AlgonquinKnight) reported@SFWsalesgirl @JamesGunn @hbomax Stewart being the main GL isn’t a problem. It’s how these characters are being written.
-
Checo (@checotoldyou) reported@USMNT @ussoccer @hbomax Yall batter take Pepi to the World Cup. If not, imma ******* crash out!
-
Shella (@modealltypes) reported@dearone6 @lushmylife613 @hbomax She says that, but they've been basically broke for a while now as she told her friend that he was "nickeling and diming her." In the end her biggest issue was that everything was built on a lie. She has no problem pitching in, she even said that. But Nate wanted to be the man.
-
Carlos Munera (@cfmun_) reported@GameOfThrones @hbomax Getting this ******* destruction of George’s work a few months after AKOTSK is literally like a divine punishment.
-
Cuzzy643 (@cuzzy643) reported@hbomax Lexie getting outshined by her sister would honestly be her worst nightmare cuz she thought she left that all behind in high school. Cassie might not book the part tho if the find out abt her OF so…
-
sam/benny | #justiceforsamira (@bennyandthetops) reported@hbomax i'd rather have samira mohan back than men making women uncomfortable while they're at work
-
Jay Will (@Jay1RSF) reported@hbomax Looks terrible
-
Dave Goodbar. (@DaveD33305674) reported@hbomax @Seahawks HBO EXLAX!!!!! DUMB JACKASSES!!! FIX YOUR SIGNAL JACKASSSES
-
Irwin M. Fletcher (@IrwinMFlet32077) reportedoffended by Bateman and the idiots that did @HBO @hbomax DTF St. Louis. What an AWFUL ******* show. So talking slowly and or whatever Bateman does is funny? Every episode this slow delivery of talking like dumbasses is funny. Get this trash off of Max #DTFStLouis #HBOMAx
-
DrForester (@DrForester) reportedI do love @hbomax's awful Android TV app for live sports. Really fun having the video 30 seconds behind the audio for these NHL games.
-
mark mcneilly (@mcneilly_mark) reported@hbomax I was hoping that the video quality of your sport stream on TNT would improve now you are in charge. Why is the image quality so bad compared to Sky and Amazon Prime? I am paying a lot for HBOmax with TNT sport and the image quality on TNT is rubbish compared to others
-
Brandon Halloway (@BrandonHalloway) reported@hbomax the only thing your Harry Potter documentary should cover is how you didn’t have a budget for light bulbs. You have 6 months. Lighten the movie. It’s so dark the trailer looks awful. It’s giving everyone too dark game of thrones feeling. Shoot the show so we can see it.
-
Milkias Samuel (@Milkias2025) reported@naijirou @JamesGunn @hbomax Look I want good character arcs from them too, & I don't necessarily hate the idea of Hal not willing to give up the ring, however my problem is that they seem to imply the rings successor to be chosen by the user when canonically it's the ring that's meant to choose a successor
-
Steelmatic (@corleone7007) reported@JamesGunn @hbomax That trailer looks terrible. I really hope the show is better.
-
AdvisingAbyss93 (@AAbyss93) reported@JamesGunn @hbomax What do you mean “only one”??? That’s not how the rings work…
-
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
-
Akif (@Akif1328223) reported@bigdaddy2gunzzz @hbomaxhelp @phillyb949 Heads up, jay_nerd1 can resolve this issue.
-
Matthew (@mattbo_0) reported@hbomax Terrible tagline. Guess Hal dies.
-
Brandon (@barndoord) reported@empratt2 @hbomax It’s based on the actual Assembly Cut and Finchers notes. He declined to help with a true producers cut. It’s know as Assembly Cut and Special Edition
-
Investigation Discovery (@DiscoveryID) reportedShe 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
