    @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

    @aaronrift @hbomax Didn’t work for me either I had to just order it through cable and now I have to try and get a refund

    Michael Shilling (@MikeShilling) reported

    @hbomaxhelp I'm not doing a chat bot when it's your audio engineers not doing their jobs. Announce team to 90ish percent to overmod, the crowd should be 70ish % of that and the ring mic should be 40ish % of the crowd. Problem solved.

    @hbomax literally worst interface ever. What am I paying for?

    @hbomaxhelp Ive tried that throughout the whole event, its still not working, i would like a refund at this point

    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?

    @hbomax You just couldn't help yourself You just couldn't keep yourselves from ruining it Next time, take a dozen nurses from PITTSBURGH instead of a dozen nurses from LA Keep your west coast BS out of it You just insulted and misrepresented the entire city

    @SeanRossSapp That’s false because I just tried it on my television and same issue! It’s just an @HBOMAX issue

    @BorisVagner @hbomax Just glitchy, algorithm sucks, always has issues when you stop and restart shows and then tonight's AEW PPV disaster

  • perpetual_hayes
    Josh Hayes (@perpetual_hayes) reported

    @hbomaxhelp The audio for #AEWRevolution has never synced up with the video. The problem seems to have been there since the main show started after the Zero Hour pre-show. I’ve tried exiting the app and restarting the show a few times, fast-forwarding, pausing, etc.

  • katiehe201587
    katie Henderson (@katiehe201587) reported

    @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.

  • marykayfabe
    Mary-Kate Anthony (@marykayfabe) reported

    @MarkyKFabe @hbomax @AEW Is it not working for the PPV?

  • FatGuyLilCoat89
    Steven (@FatGuyLilCoat89) reported

    @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.

  • spinningoutaday
    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.

  • SarahSutphin4
    Sarah Sutphin (@SarahSutphin4) reported

    @hbomax fix the @AEW stream. We're an hour in at this point and can't get it to work. So disappointed.

  • garybibby

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

    @hbomax i'd rather have samira mohan back than men making women uncomfortable while they're at work

    @hbomaxhelp Your app is terrible along with your customer service Subscription will be cancelled soon

    @hbomax @DCOfficial I am huge DC fan since childhood i grew up watching DC And Green Lantern is one of the core parts of DC and Justice League. After watching Trailer i do not have much hope for this project at all. It might be good. Idk what problem does James Gunn have with special effects why he uses physical suits. Especially in Green Lantern. Zack Snyder made better looking Green lantern in his backyard with his iPhone . Green lanterns are space corps why the hell they gave us grounded story.

    @addievervale @hbomax maybe a stupid question but are you logged in? it still says sign in/sign up in the corner. some websites are weird and after you sign up it doesn't automatically bring you into your account, you have to sign in separately. it makes no sense 😭 i can see all the eps on my acct!

    @hbomaxhelp I can barely stream anything and watch it. Keep having to stop and start because the audio is not in sync with the video. Please fix this issue.

    @hbomax is terrible for watching basketball. The stream sucks.

    @hbomaxhelp @AEW @hbomax How do I request a credit for this “issue” of yours? Because me paying my $40 and y’all taking it wasn’t an issue.
