HBO Max (Streaming Service)

[CagleMtnVol]

I've seen folks already comparing this to the Fox/Disney merger.

Wonder what this means down the road for both streaming services HBO Max & Discovery+?

I was just going to watch Justice League on this app then noticed that is in ancient 4:3 format for "creative purposes". Whose idea was that, lol? The creativeness was when the comics were written decades ago but some director thinks 4:3 is creative? It just made me not watch it lol. Is there no other way to watch it without zoom to get rid of the bars?

I think it was “budget purposes” more so than creative.

So are they going to inject ads into the HBO shows like Curb or Last Week Tonight?

Watched Michael Che for first time this week. Pretty, pretty good. Funny bit about him being on HBO Max.

The hell, have they not watched one single episode of their Flash tv series or the big CW crossover?

Not been discussed that I’ve noticed but looking forward to the final episode of Mare of Easttown. Good series.

Just got done with the 5th episode. It’s good, but it’s a tough watch at times. Meaning the circumstances are tough to watch.

Discovery is merging with WarnerMedia, and it’s now announced a new name for the combined company: Warner Bros. Discovery.

Anyone else having some issues with the app freezing, buffering and whatnot? It was terrible on the Xbox. It’s been much better through a Roku Ultra, but still not as smooth as Hulu, Netflix or Amazon Prime.

Lot better than HBO Now ever was.

Mine has froze, then said something about server issues. My Amazon or Netflix wasn't doing anything, but one night the HBO kept doing it.

According to Reddit, it doesn’t matter the platform, the people at HBO put out a crap app.

We couldn't get it to play a show last night. Just kept going back to the home screen. We just gave up.

 

[VOLNPA]

When we turn it on, it loads immediately, goes black to 2 seconds and immediately reloads. No problems otherwise.

Probably couldn’t go with Warner Media first. Too many WMD memes...

According to Reddit, it doesn’t matter the platform, the people at AT&T put out a crap app.

Fyp. Just like anything they do

This is the same WB that allowed a scene of Batman and Batgirl boning on a roof top in the animated Killing Joke.
