Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Jenna Grunfeld (@jennagrunfeld) reported@HBOMaxHelp I'm using a Samsung TV. It loads the home screen but when I go to watch a show, it tries to load for about 30 seconds then gives an error code. Sometimes it just freezes in the middle of watching something.
-
JP Stilz (@jpestilz) reported@HBO @hbomax Y’all gonna give any updates about your outage? Or just pretend like nothing happened? I can give you the lovely 5,000 digit error code that you use, but I’ll need a couple days to get it written down
-
Man For Mindy (@manformindy) reported@erikkain @hbomax @HouseofDragon Why you’re personally inflamed by this, so disappointed that you’d lash out, instead of simply being like- yea I didn’t see it as issue- is something you could reflect on especially being in business of doing exactly what I’m doing- reacting to/critiquing shows & exec decisions
-
S. Bruington (@iamsamenta) reported@HBOMaxHelp There is a problem with the audio syncing on HOD. This also had issues yesterday. We had the same issues last week. What’s going on??
-
Dannnoooo (@danzzz23) reported@hbomax HBO app is not working at all.
-
Alan Seeger (@a_seegerr) reported@hbomax that was the worst end to a season I’ve ever seen. With so much money invested in #HouseoftheDragon , I have no idea how you guys could **** up an entire season so much. I’m not watching anymore, that was absolute ****
-
Honey4Bears (@Honey4Bears_PC) reported@HBOMaxHelp @CVIKIS Sadly a terrible decision I did not find it creative at all. I almost gave up watching it and instead countered misguided creativity by cranking up my contrast so much I finally offset and the effect so I could see.
-
🎃 (@crissysaid) reportedWhy is @hbomax the one app where PiP is impossible??? How is this still an issue? Hire real Q! @HBOMaxHelp
-
Cynic Of Sinope (@Cynicofsinope1) reported@GameOfThrones @hbomax Why are you on nowtv in the uk why don’t you use different streaming services, nowtv is so bad keep getting errors can’t even watch the show. @NOWTV_It

JustinC (@JustinC34873646) reported@hbomax Is hbo max not working now??
-
Robert Pike (@RobertP43839243) reported@HBOMaxHelp @Lynnie01632328 This is another problem besides the bad script, the quality of the frame was very poor.
-
Keith 2nd MLG (@Keith_USMC54) reported@GameOfThrones @hbomax Terrible. Didn’t resolve anything! A#in classic throne there was finality to each season this just leaves it as a cliffhanger. A whole season of waiting for something to happens and then this is what we have been waiting for?! Damn man! Be better!!!

Zach rheinmetall (@z11b1p) reported@HBOMaxHelp @bigEweezy86 Same issue 14 pro
-
alyn (@josephwakeup) reported@DCTitans @hbomax @4theloveofkory 6TH BEING BROTHER BLOOD.... YOU PREDICTED THAT LIKE WORK FOR THEM!!?!
-
Bill Riess (@BillRiess) reported@HBOMaxHelp @ElizabethDTh Why does support keep replying to these messages like they can help? It has nothing to do with any specific app/tv/platform. It's the backend. #HBOMax can't handle the traffic/demand for #HOTDFinale during peak time. Simple as that. HBO is cheap and won't upgrade.
-
Tucks dad (@bluefish2022) reported@HBOMaxHelp @jpestilz I also did this - still not working
-
Sean Curtis (@DJPhenom33) reportedThe @hbomax app sucks. If you pause a show/movie for a few minutes, it backtracks, and sometimes skips all the way to the end. The algorithm sucks, if there is one. I’m constantly shown **** I have no interest in. Fix your stupid app, @HBO
-
Zach rheinmetall (@z11b1p) reported@bigEweezy86 @hbomax I’m having the same issue. 14 pro.
-
Emil Sayad (@gaymerbear84) reported@HBOMaxHelp why is the picture quality bad tonight? Like it’s not sharp
-
ButterflyPikachu (@RavenMenel) reported@HBOMaxHelp That would be great if it was a fix for just a me thing but people are reporting it on the down reporter and there is already an article about this issue. I assume your servers are full and low on bandwidth due to a high number of viewers also trying to watch the finale
-
Nikko (@NikkoCaruso) reported@hbomax FIX YOURSELF
-
Juarassic Clark (Dexter, Where Wolf?)🎃 (@fresh_Start69) reported from Niagara Falls, New York@Boobafett69 @SlasherDiva @hbomax I've been waiting patiently to see it. It sucked not being able to see it at the drive in. Only open weekends and I work every weekend lol
-
_dunder_ (@Ryan03452187) reported@hbomax Your app is terrible.
-
Chesron Kocsis (@ChesronKocsis) reported@HBOMaxHelp Watching shows and movies on my Xbox Series X is verg frustrating. The image quality is very bad. Are you guys aware of this issue? I hear this problem from many people.
-
avicky 🖤 (@thisbananay) reported@hbomax hey fix daemon character in season 2 don't make him an abuser
-
Zach rheinmetall (@z11b1p) reported@HBOMaxHelp House of Dragon, episode 10, around the 27 minute mark. I have deleted the app, reloaded it and am having the same issue still.
-
Minas Tirith City Planner (@clkerst) reported@torey_nelson @HBOMaxHelp Same problem with House of the Dragon @HBOMaxHelp. Just upgraded to a series X from Xbox One where I didn’t have this problem. Succession and White Lotus previews came up before 2 HOTD episodes and looked fine.
-
Man For Mindy (@manformindy) reported@erikkain @hbomax @HouseofDragon I still stand by my perspective. I don’t have specific issue with violence against women being portrayed in tv/shows but I don’t think it’s outlandish to want this to be handled responsibly, not gratuitously or romanticized irresponsibly.
-
Eric Guadarrama 🇲🇽🇺🇸 (@bigEweezy86) reported@hbomax having issues streaming tonight’s episode of hotd. The video and audio are not synced up around the 26 minute mark. Any help would be appreciated.

Lisa (@fullmetalLizzie) reported@TheRealDoenut hey have you seen nothing but trouble? I watched it for the first time since way back in the 90s and I didn’t realise Dan akroyds character the judge wears a Freemason ring and a iron cross around his neck. Watch it on @hbomax if you haven’t seen it..
