Brad Winchester (@WindDuster) reported@hbomaxhelp Three hours deep into a show to fix it is diabolical.
-
eliteal (@eliteal210) reported@ethankoo22 @hbomax understandable, but since it looks like her condition is deteriorating it could potentially affect her ability to be an attending. a 10 sec absence seizure when you have someone's life in your hands is a huge problem.

mark mcneilly (@mcneilly_mark) reported@hbomax I was hoping that the video quality of your sport stream on TNT would improve now you are in charge. Why is the image quality so bad compared to Sky and Amazon Prime? I am paying a lot for HBOmax with TNT sport and the image quality on TNT is rubbish compared to others

zack (@GLLGHR301) reported@hbomax @aaronrift Hi, I had this issue last night too with my PPV, but the customer service chatbot kept putting me in a loop and I never got resolution.
-
Frank (@t3hfrankie) reported@hbomaxhelp @DatMane2k Can't watch AEW Revolution 2026 replay on HBO MAX. Its just a black screen with loading circle. Tried 5 times and can watch other stuff on Max just fine. I paid for PPV, so plz fix

-
Daryl Morty👑 (@DarylMorty) reported@hbomax Can yall fix the glitch with your app? It’ll play an ad and start it at an earlier part of the movie. Then you’ll have to fast forward it just to get to the ad you were originally at and have to watch it again. Been this way for months.
-
Veritas Libertas (@VeritasLiberta8) reportedHey @hbomax fix your audio
-
Thomas Ingram (@ThomasIngr14149) reported@hbomax @HBO God. It's awful.
-
Brandon Halloway (@BrandonHalloway) reported@hbomax the only thing your Harry Potter documentary should cover is how you didn’t have a budget for light bulbs. You have 6 months. Lighten the movie. It’s so dark the trailer looks awful. It’s giving everyone too dark game of thrones feeling. Shoot the show so we can see it.

Jay Will (@Jay1RSF) reported@hbomax Looks terrible
-
✨VANILLA SC👀PER ✨💮 (@VanillaScooper) reported@hbomaxhelp @AEW @hbomax Yeah, you’re welcome for my $40. Show was unwatchable and the fact you responded to my post 5 hours into the issue is insane for 2026.

“Marky” Mark K. Fabe ✡️ (@MarkyKFabe) reported@marykayfabe @hbomax @AEW It’s annoying because we have a Vizio TV that has the app, but for whatever reason, yo can’t watch the PPVs on Vizio. Never had an issue watching with the Xbox before. Very odd
-
Synchronicity (@74Synchronicity) reportedDear @hbomax and @NOWTV - why can't I download The Pitt onto my iPad to watch on a flight tomorrow? Is it a glitch with the new platform on Now TV, is it a problem with this series or is this simply unavailable for download for Now TV Subscribers?
-
Kevin Sicard (@KevinSicard) reported@hbomaxhelp #aewrevolution audio is terrible and ruining the show
-
Sarah Sutphin (@SarahSutphin4) reported@hbomax fix the @AEW stream. We're an hour in at this point and can't get it to work. So disappointed.
-
Onur Ç. (@BlackmaxOnur) reported@wbd @HBO @hbomax Congratulations! Thanks to you, the entire Harry Potter franchise has become a laughingstock. Every day there are mocking edits, and you don't care about these complaints at all! You're awful, absolutely awful!
-
Myke (@DeQuan81) reported@aaronrift @hbomax I got the error and backed out and went back and it's been fine all night.
-
Mr Danny (@spinningoutaday) reported@andyjd747 @hbomax It’s effectively a downgrade. We had UHD and Ad Skip on our Stream package but now shows we previously could watch are only on HBO Max in awful quality with ads.
-

Chuck 🇺🇦 🌈 🏳️🌈 PLEASE, NO DM's (@1TibetanMastiff) reportedHey @hbomaxhelp Subscribed to HBO Max to watch live March Madness and all I get is buffering. This is just the first four. Can't wait until I can't watch tomorrow when there are so many games streaming. Maybe fix this Take March Madness from me and I'll not forgive or forget.
