    @FlightAttendant @hbomax Why is only 1 episode showing up for me? There aren't any other episodes other than the first episode showing? Can someone help me?

  • ynksphns Joe P (@ynksphns) reported

    @Xfinity question. Do I need to pay for my @hbomax. Anymore since I can use my comcast account to sign in.

  • 1bbarry Brian B (@1bbarry) reported

    @ATT @hbomax AT&T Service is the worst. I don't care you call it HBO MAX, it still sucks.

  • nfw22b Marie (@nfw22b) reported

    @FlightAttendant @hbomax I tried to catch up before the finale but only episode 1 is available? Help! #FlightAttendant

  • Svaio2 Svaio (@Svaio2) reported

    .@HBOMaxHelp Any Lag issues or buffering now? I’m trying to see a movie and it skips a lot or is unstable the video. I already clear cache on my browser, i check my ISP and is working fine, no bandwith issues at all, I check @downdetector and I saw few reports as well

  • Francis78265658 Francisco (@Francis78265658) reported

    @hbomax If it doesn't work or says available for ps5 only just restart your console worked for me 👍

  • InDo_TheDopest Indo (@InDo_TheDopest) reported

    I am constantly upset @Roku has not figured out a way to get @hbomax y’all need to work that ish out

  • jacekgeee (303) Gooner (@jacekgeee) reported

    @comcast @hbomax @Xfinity You have a lot of work on optimization. This is painful to use.

  • JayFernsten Jay Fernsten (@JayFernsten) reported

    @hbomax on @ps5 is a huge leap forward in quality. @LGUS needs to get this app onboard. Then everyone get Dolby Vision and Atmos working. After spending stupid money for the best experience in home theater, and streaming fees....I expect the best.

  • jsu4141 John Upton (@jsu4141) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I have HBO Max based on my AT&T wireless account. Recently when I sign in it takes me to the HBO Max site but when I click on an episode it kicks me out and back to the sign in screen. Four calls and four customers service reps resulted in no solutions. Help!

  • almostdoesntco3 almostdoesntcount (@almostdoesntco3) reported

    @Roku @hbomax Oh great just bought a Fire-Stick on Black Friday because someone was taking sooo long 🙄 also there’re issues with AT&T TV app doesn’t work on Roku

    @HBOMaxHelp Everything I try to log into hbo max with my Hulu credentials it doesn’t work. I’m going to cancel

  • Jonnyleeconway Jonny flip the Georgia senate seats Conway 🎄 (@Jonnyleeconway) reported

    @the_mutation @Roku @hbomax Just buy the service. You know what’s on it. You know what it looks like. You know how streaming services work. They aren’t gonna give people a free trial, it makes zero financial sense these days

  • ZombieeChic Leah Ortman (@ZombieeChic) reported

    @justinrayharvey @Roku @hbomax When Max came out it updated itself on my Xbox from the original. I say that you might as well. Worst case is you just delete it.

  • JAMESEDSTROM James Edstrom (@JAMESEDSTROM) reported

    .@Roku .@hbomax About time they made a deal. Now can Roku fix the NBC News app, has not worked right for 3 months and keeps freezing. It is also freezing the whole Roku system and has to reboot. Fix please.

    @hbomax The main problem with HBOMAX is there are not enough hours in the day to consume all this incredible content! #gratefulforxmasdayandbeyond

  • BigTexWrangler Jake Rosenberg 👑 (@BigTexWrangler) reported

  • MrJDW1 James Wick (@MrJDW1) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp You were absolutely no help at all. STILL CANNOT VIEW HBO MAX even though I am an HBO Subscriber on Xfinity. Should be a simple fix. "Happy to help"? Problem remains unresolved. Thanks for nothing. 😝

  • InTogetherNow Method Man (@InTogetherNow) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Yeah. None of those work for me. I have an LG tv. Im just hoping it comes out in time for Wonder Woman or I will just download it if not. It seems people have been asking for years and no hbo app on LGs.

  • ryanelizabeth15 Ryan Matschke (@ryanelizabeth15) reported

  • H3cda_liz Hecdaliz (@H3cda_liz) reported

    @hbomax WORST streaming channel ugh common $15 a month to only be able to watch a show after 30 minutes loading, by the time it works I’m already sleeping.

  • ashtangi70 Sat Inder S. Khalsa (@ashtangi70) reported

  • Tasteliketofu1 Tasteliketofu (@Tasteliketofu1) reported

    @comcast @hbomax @Xfinity Your services are garbage. Return the money you got from the 1994 telecommunications act. You failed on what you were supposed to do. We have the worst internet infrastructure in the first world.
