    @Lettice123 @hbomaxhelp How did you fix it?

  • ridandy20 it’s dolph 🐬 (@ridandy20) reported

    HBO marketing Derry @hbomax is abysmal. Releasing photos from the ****** of each episodes before the show is 24 hours old is one of the worst things I’ve seen a tv show consistently do- and it’s horror. They’re pulling the air out of any suspenseful scene they work to build.

    @hbomaxhelp is something up with the Dolby atmos feature? I can't seem to make it work on my Hisense tv

    @hbomaxhelp @StreamOnMax Thanks useless AI. Of course that does nothing. You know it’s an issue. You’re fine with your product being bad.

    I think it's finally time to cut the cable. I cannot access HBO Max through my Xfinity box even though I subscribe to HBO. @XfinitySupport has been no help at all. @hbomaxhelp

    @hbomaxhelp It didn't help anything, the stream just ended up starting about 20 minutes late for some reason. Weird.

    @TheRokuChannel @hbomax If one of yall can get your the HBO on Rokus App to not have descriptive Audio on multiple movies that would be appreciated. I cannot watch sinners or superman without a narrator describing everything thats happening. And its not a TV issue.

    @hbomaxhelp Been dealing with your “service” team for nearly two months. I’ve been gaslit, lyed to and told to just wait. Case #23527238 . Go read it for yourself. I’m moving into legal territory now. If it was the main language or audio, you couldn’t fix it fast enough. But not the AD.

    @hbomax HBO when can I buy the wrapping paper though help a girl out

  • keithFury420 Fite Back (@keithFury420) reported

    @hbomax @TonyKhan The latest episodes of Dynamite and Collision isn't showing up on my HBO/MAX App. I'm thinking about cancelling my subscription. Do you know what is going on TK? It wasn't an issue before. The newest episode would appear for you to stream without waiting!

  • asanebel2 🙄 (@asanebel2) reported

    @hbomax @HBO @hbomax screw y’all for not allowing all your customers to watch these games CFP games. Just a really slimy move. You gave me a Black Friday deal that I have to give up to watch the 2 worst games. Garbage play towards your paying customers.
