    @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.

    @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.

    On 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

    @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

    @TonyKhan fix this revolution nonsense on @hbomax audio is like a minute off. Amateur hour.

    @JayBeasta @hbomaxhelp I had to go and order it on Prime because we're 40 mins in and no fix. HBO assist has been useless and said they'll "email me" with a specialist, when asking for a refund.

    @AEW @hbomax I paid money for a ppv and am unable to stream it. I've missed an hour of this so far. Been on hold for about 40 mins. Any help here???

    @daisystone24 @hbomax The Zero Hour link didn’t work, but there was another one for the main card that allowed me to get in and is working

    @aaronrift @nodqdotcom @hbomax It’s been terrible. What are you watching it on? Found a fix for Apple TV 4K for anyone on there. Turn off hdr in your settings. Go to settings, video audio, click format, then switch from 4k hdr to 4k sdr

    I’m done with @hbomax. Service doesn’t work then when I contact them for a refund they tell me they don’t do refunds. Real great business practices. #AEWRevolution

    @hbomaxhelp Streaming issues with your coverage of NCAA men's tournament. Live stream breaks to a commercial then the pictures freezes after the commercial ends. Sat there for a couple minutes the first time this happened, then backed out and restarted. 4 times today!!

    @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.

    @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
