WarnerMedia Sets HBO Max Launch Date – Deadline

Anyone else looking forward to this? I know there are a lot (too many) options these days, but I feel like their content and catalog will make this worth subscribing to going forward.

Nope.

how about they focus on more quality shows. Since game of thrones ended they have been terrible. Stopped paying for their service.

I mean, this is a way for them to get more revenue and focus on , "more quality shows.,," HBO of any network has produced some of the best content of the past 20 years. They have a pretty good library on HBOgo now, I don't know if I will spring for the extras on this service

I believe roughly the same price as HBO will get you HBO Max. I think we were paying $15 a month for HBO Now when we were doing it, and that's the same price as HBO Max but Max comes with all of these extra shows like Friends, Doctor Who, etc while also giving you the HBO content. Seems like a decent deal.

If you have Amazon Prime, now might be a good time to watch some of HBO's older series that are available on that service, like Band of Brothers, The Pacific, Rome and The Wire, since HBO may eventually make those available only on HBO Max. They didn't do that with HBO Now (probably because the revenue from Amazon made it worth it), but I think that it stands to reason that they may use that for leverage eventually.

Well this has been a dud. Not available on Roku and Amazon Fire, so it's not available to 70% of people with streaming devices.

 

[Jumptheshark]

do not be shocked if DC streaming merges with max before the end of the year

friends and big bang theory lol

they have figured that out and now are trying to do deals with the back catalog of lot of production houses

 

[Mickey Marner]

What's the point of it? What market does it serve? It seems like a waste of time/money to me.

 

[Jovavic]

It's the same movie/show catalog as Now/Go, but with extra shows and movies, and for the same price as Now/Go

 

[Mario_is_BACK!!]

Now became Max for services that have an agreement with HBO.

 

[chicagoskycam]

I get HBO for free with ATT unlimited, It's not clear if this is included or not.

So many start ups taking a run at the big dog (Netflix). Maybe all the competition will hurt the newcomers and Netflix will remain the last man standing? Or maybe this is the beginning of the end - it certainly is a cut throat business.

I don't have a dog in this fight so it will be interesting to see it all play out.

I'll get it when they get a Roku app. That was their biggest mistake. Wife has to have Friends.

I had an old Chromecast lying around and I've tried to use it to watch Max. It just buffers every 30 seconds. I can't watch it until it's on Roku.

I've never understood the appeal of that show. I forced myself to watch a few episodes and I never laughed. Never came close to laughing. I simply don't get it.

This one and How I Met Your Mother. Felt like I was taking crazy pills after listening to all the people I knew tell me how much they loved these shows.

Never saw HIMYM. Sounds like I'm not missing much.

As for BBT... Someone was clever and removed the over the top laugh track from Big Bang Theory and it helps clarify how UN-funny the show is.

 

[kook10]

I am happy that Turner Classic Movies is included. We've already watched a few oldies. There are some great titles in there.

Basically this is only good for watching Anna Kendrick having sex.

How I Met Your Mother is great, but if you’re not into shows like Friends and Seinfeld I guess you wouldn’t like it. I don’t know, I like shows that just make you laugh, and you don’t have to take them too seriously.

 

[Legionnaire]

South Park. Leaving Hulu for Max. Binge watching now.

 

[izzy]

life and times of tim is one of the most underrated shows ever. Great news
