  • ScottKline15 Scott (@ScottKline15) reported

    @hbomax why is it every time I use your service, it is choppy and stops every 15 seconds? Every other streaming service doesn’t have this issue... #poorquality #myinternetisfine

  • Anubis214 Daniel (@Anubis214) reported

    @hbomax I'd be watching the rest of it if your videos would work

  • 159_rg RG_159 (@159_rg) reported

    @BobDigi69 @hbomax Don't think they want a new Game of Thrones. I think they want to overload audiences with pretty fight scenes, atrocious story telling because the writers have to dumb stories to rush ahead, with under 120minute runtimes. McDonalds quantity, not quality. Conveyor belt of movies.

  • AnthonyMCraft Anthony Craft (@AnthonyMCraft) reported

    Anyone else having streaming and sound quality problems on @hbomax ? All others are working as expected...

  • Atreus41878825 Atreus (@Atreus41878825) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Fix the a aspect ratio! 4:3 looks like garbage

  • KnightHawk882 Knight Hawk (@KnightHawk882) reported

    @hbomax Buffer buffer buffer, please stop the buffering or give me a refund

  • adehenpop adehen (@adehenpop) reported

    @hbomax. The hell the happen to servers mannnnnn

  • ScottKline15 Scott (@ScottKline15) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I tried all of the recommended actions and it did not fix the issue.

  • brkolo Ben Kolodzinski (@brkolo) reported

    In a world where I can stream live content to my phone, over data, while in the middle of a concrete building... it’s funny that @hbomax does nothing but buffer every 30 seconds while connected to actual internet. Really breaks up the fluidity of a fight scene! Well done! 🙄

  • drb_hxc smallz (@drb_hxc) reported

    @hbomax fix the god damn servers already. Maybe knowing a major movie like @MKMovie, y’all would have stressed tested a little better.

  • thatmcgrittle save the planet yo (@thatmcgrittle) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I tried Android HULU mobile app and a LG smart TV HULU but it didn't appear on either. Thank you for the help, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong and would love to watch the movie

  • HorrorCollect CollectHorror (@HorrorCollect) reported

    There was also a gray line going down the side of the screen for the entire movie and it would not go away. Very weird. We checked our other Smart TV apps and everything else was normal. I would love to know if anyone else watching @MKMovie on @hbomax had these problems today.

  • Atreus41878825 Atreus (@Atreus41878825) reported

    @Axetrax @HBOMaxHelp I have a Samsung Q60T 4ktv and the app has a weird white bar at the top right of my TV. It's the only app I have problems with. 4:3 ratio on mortal kombat looked terrible

  • adehenpop adehen (@adehenpop) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp. I keep getting an error when opening HBO max ... are the servers down?

  • wwhitenight Wes Whitenight (@wwhitenight) reported

    Hey, @hbomax, real quick; your streaming design is infuriating. Fix it, ya know...?

  • thepiecesmatter Chad Campbell (@thepiecesmatter) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp at what point do refunds start being given for the now months long issue with the @hbomax app on Samsung TVs? It's frustrating seeing that HBO Max charge from Samsung each month and the white line remains over and over.

  • GameRoomOrlando GameRoomOrlando (@GameRoomOrlando) reported

    @XavierCollinNZ @HBOMaxHelp Yes I am also having the same issue on my Samsung TVs

  • kyleroemer kyleroemer (@kyleroemer) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp - #hbomax is not working with new releases. If you market and push big features, your tech has to meet demand, and you are not.

  • RustTemecca Temecca 😏 (@RustTemecca) reported

    @hbomax is anyone else getting error messages? We are about 30 minutes in and it’s given us an error message and froze twice.

  • gaccione_james james gaccione (@gaccione_james) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp youre ridiculous. its impossible to watch your movie right now. hype up something as big as Mortal Kombat and have it buffer for everyone trying to watch it alone or with people. clearly others have said something fix it and don't reply with some half *** excuse.

  • Kyle97867080 Kyle (@Kyle97867080) reported

    @hbomax can you get your ******* servers in order so mortal kombat doesn’t freeze every five ******* seconds? Thanks

  • HorrorCollect CollectHorror (@HorrorCollect) reported

    Quick question: Does anyone else have sound issues with the @hbomax app on their TV? We have a sound bar and even at full volume the audio for Mortal Kombat was extremely low. Kinda ruined my experience, to be honest, and we had the same experience with Wonder Woman 84.

  • maskedreviewer The Masked Reviewer (@maskedreviewer) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp why won’t the audio for mortal kombat work on my lg oled and soundbar combo. Other programs on HBO max work fine. Tried it on other devices like my phone and another tv.

  • StrangeTrip2 StrangeTrip (@StrangeTrip2) reported

    @hbomax So why can’t I even load your app? Amazon works, Netflix is work just get an opps message selecting anything

  • boredomandpain bored (@boredomandpain) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp UMMM HELLO YOUR VIEDO SERVICE NOT WORKING,,,,...................................... IT KEEP LOADING TRYUING TO WATCH GAME OF THROM AND IT NOT WORKING.... WHAT THE FR*CK

  • iamsable3000 Boss ™️ (@iamsable3000) reported

    Excuse me @hbomax trying to watch mfn mortal Kombat and this freaking error message keeps popping up 🤬🤬🤬🤬

  • Rachet20 Michael Kistner Jr. (@Rachet20) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I can’t fill screen on iOS? There’s no longer a button for it. Is there a fix for this coming?

  • merschplaysbass Stefan Mersch (@merschplaysbass) reported

    @hbomax Resolution looks awful on my screen. Entire movie looks squished.

  • jasonchaffin5 jason chaffin (@jasonchaffin5) reported from Redondo Beach, California

    @hbomax why is the sound quality on PS4 absolute trash? It completely cuts in and out. I just subscribed today and already regret it.
