    @thegildalva @HBOMaxHelp Same problem here. Smh

  • thegildalva Gil Dalva (@thegildalva) reported

    I even logged in using my At&T internet acct and it won’t sync either..... this is a problem with @HBOMaxHelp not your cable provider I just confirmed that

  • BharathChandra bharath (@BharathChandra) reported

    @jbogard Also there is no way to watch @hbomax on LG TVs, thanks to WebOS (Unless there is a work around that I’m unaware of, other than AirPlay & screen casting ).

  • UnleashedBroly Broly (@UnleashedBroly) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp hello. Currently using a Firestick that requests I update to the newest HBO Max version. Unfortunately, there is no newer version to download. Can you guys help?

  • mad_house Steve Hart (@mad_house) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp OK, I used chrome and it worked in the browser! Why are you browser sniffing? That's so 2010. I can't remember the last time a site rejected Opera. Anyway, I'm in on the browser. What about the Roku app? Can you help with that too?

  • davewiner dave@scripting.com (@davewiner) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @hbomax So here's the problem. I have paid them $14.99 for the first month of the subscription, assuming I would be able to watch it on my iPad. I can't. I've been an HBO subscriber for *decades*. They decided to cut off Roku, leaving users like me to figure it out on our own.

  • Warr1or42 Ben Toutofshape (@Warr1or42) reported

    @hbomax stream quality is terrible. Stuttering frames every 10-15 seconds makes movies and shows unwatchable. Do you seriously expect people to pay for this? #streaming #poorquality

  • _TreDaGr8test 🎧 🎧 (@_TreDaGr8test) reported

    I’m ready to get off work so I can 💨💨💨 and watch @bigbangtheory on @hbomax

  • joshuamccord Josh McCord (@joshuamccord) reported

    @hbomax is doing a real disservice to #IndustryHBO. I’ve seen nearly 0 advertising but the show is fantastic. Help them out a little HBO.

  • cherrybkpp adriana 秘密 (@cherrybkpp) reported

    @euphoriaHBO @hbomax HELP??????

  • DBalusek David Balusek (@DBalusek) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Samsung HD I have HBO with my package Had trouble downloading the MAX app in OCT. called customer service talked to 4 different techs ( 3hrs) finally got the app to work but 2 days ago it wouldn't let me watch any programs keep getting a message to update my app where do you go

  • jmichaelmccall The Michael McCall (@jmichaelmccall) reported

    @connorratliff @hbomax @Roku Works on mine, but I'm at work and don't know exactly which model it is. It was the one that cost $25 at Wal-Mart.

  • JayW507 Jay Williams (@JayW507) reported

    @thegildalva @HBOMaxHelp I have the same issue and was looking for the answer as well.

  • DBalusek David Balusek (@DBalusek) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Ticket No. ?????? , we can do this all day but bottom line is this HBO MAX isn't working is it because it's free since I have HBO or because the problem is on your end, all my other other Streaming Apps work perfect Netflix's, Hulu & Disney.

  • JustinDslotz slaughter (@JustinDslotz) reported

    @hbomax comes out as a new streaming platform, still the worst streaming quality and no 4K.

  • AronMorris Danger Aron (@AronMorris) reported

    Hey ******** @hbomax How many times do I have to sign in?! You’re already robbing me.

  • Rebecculous Rebecca Goldstein (@Rebecculous) reported

    @thegildalva @HBOMaxHelp Doesn't work on AppleTV or laptop. I called and was their 3rd in a row. They're aware and on it.

  • NobodyCameOver NobodyCameOver (@NobodyCameOver) reported

    @hbomax Why is your service so laggy? I'm 12 minutes into a movie that I've been watching for 20 minutes...pauses to buffer for several seconds every few seconds or so. I can stream any other service without any issue, but HBO Max won't play smoothly. This needs fixed ASAP!!

  • Jay__Breezy21 Jay (@Jay__Breezy21) reported

    @thegildalva @HBOMaxHelp Yea I don’t get that because I just installed max on my phone for the first time & same issue is occurring.

  • WilloSF Wilson Hardcastle (@WilloSF) reported

    @RandyTaradash @hbomax I did encounter a problem with playback last night. But after I updated the app and restarted the Apple TV I have not had any problems.

  • honscot Anika 🏳️‍🌈 (@honscot) reported

    @hbomax I liked mostly the first episode. The thing that’s holding me back from watching more is - and this sounds superficial, I know - the awful music. It grates on my brain. If there was a way to block it out and just hear the dialogue, I’d do it.

  • GausBill Bill Gaus (@GausBill) reported

    @PaulHarrisGB @PattyJenks @hbomax So what you're saying is, you approve of theft, right ? So does this imply that you're a thief as well ? Or perhaps just to lazy to work for things you want. Which is it ?

  • Mooleahx Morgan she/her ◡̈ (@Mooleahx) reported

    @euphoriaHBO @hbomax HELP

  • pennyzwyz ☘🍀Centamhain🍀☘ (@pennyzwyz) reported

    @AedanDQ @HBO @hbomax Because people are at home much more, and there aren't many quality shows on right now. They would have been almost ignored if it played during the GOT years.

  • thegildalva Gil Dalva (@thegildalva) reported

    @Rebecculous @HBOMaxHelp They keep telling me to reinstall app but I did and it’s not working

  • Its_Union_2_U Monica Fan (@Its_Union_2_U) reported

    @hbomax costs way too much to glitch the way that it does. Can’t even watch GOT!🙄

  • CloudsSolace That Guy (@CloudsSolace) reported

    @hbomax is nice but why every other day does it not let me watch anything. I click Play and nothing happens. Help.

  • thegildalva Gil Dalva (@thegildalva) reported

    @Jay__Breezy21 @HBOMaxHelp They keep telling me to reinstall app but I did and it’s not working

    @JayW507 @HBOMaxHelp They keep telling me to reinstall app but I did and it’s not working

  • leahy47 John Leahy (@leahy47) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp @HBO @hbomax What do I have to do to get a response? I bought GOT season 7 on Blu-ray/digital HD and there was no code in the package. Please help!
