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

maligator (@kohoccm) reported@LGUS @hbomax Bought an LG stove Dec 2025 — broke within a week. 5 service visits, none fixed it. 4‑hour windows cost me work/pay. Escalations ignored, no callback. LG service is terrible — do your research before buying.

-
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.
-
Alt Mhor (@AltMhor) reported@hbomaxhelp I have tried to explain the issue to multiple customer service people and got nowhere. I missed all the games last night because of this. You're too late, subscription cancelled

Christy Massey (@Christy82635445) reported@hbomax @HBO HBO does no shows worth watching today!!! Far left radical agenda executives pick terrible things to watch!!! Hahaha. Turned down Yellowstone. Thats how stupid these executives are today!!!!
-
Steveg561 (@SteveG561) reported@TonyKhan this deal you’ve made with HBO has made it impossible to watch your PPVs. @hbomax has the worst customer service I’ve ever seen in my life. Literally no help or assistance whatsoever to give me access to the PPV or to get my money back after waiting hours. This is bs.
-
Gerald Preston (@Ger_Pres) reportedFFS, how hard is it for @tntsports to tell people what to do with the new @hbomax app? Do we open a new account with HBO Max? Do we login to HBO with our existing TNT username/password? Come on, throw us a bone here.
-
TomTom (@tleeinlonoke) reported@hbomax 5 episodes of Born to Bowl is simply not going to work. We need much more.
-
Dingus McKringus (@your_worm) reported@AEW @hbomax I just want my stupid $42.19. Please. I dont understand why this is such a hassle. I paid for a product that did not work. Times are too tough for me to just forget about 40 dollars. Can someone please help me out here? @TonyKhan ?
-
Jimmy Midyette 🇺🇸 (@JimmyMidyette) reported@JeremyH418 @hbomax @jk_rowling I doubt it seriously. Between the wokesters who will actively cancel their HBO accounts over it and the distressingly large swath of people freaking out about Snape’s skin color, I suspect it will have trouble finding a big audience.
-
Irwin M. Fletcher (@IrwinMFlet32077) reportedoffended by Bateman and the idiots that did @HBO @hbomax DTF St. Louis. What an AWFUL ******* show. So talking slowly and or whatever Bateman does is funny? Every episode this slow delivery of talking like dumbasses is funny. Get this trash off of Max #DTFStLouis #HBOMAx
-
Cory (@trumarvel) reported@aaronrift @hbomax I requested a refund from Apple and ordered on my traditional PPV. HBO Max has so many issues every PPV it feels like. I’ve never had a perfect experience
-
Frank Castle (@MrSpacely313) reportedI’m done with @hbomax. Service doesn’t work then when I contact them for a refund they tell me they don’t do refunds. Real great business practices. #AEWRevolution
-
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?
-
Kayfabe Court (@KayfabeCourt) reported@hbomaxhelp fix the audio on AEW revolution

carys (@addievervale) reported@hbomax what hell is your problem what made you think this was a good idea
-
linds (@bluth_lindsay) reported@msmooonny @hbomax 😭😭😭😭😭 it’s not even about the episodes it’s about supriya ganesh leaving 😞 but dr mohan really has been given the worst treatment this season idk it’s a mess all around
-
That Deanie Girl (@deaniejoooo) reportedIs anyone else having issues trying to purchase #AEWDynasty on @hbomax ?? I have tried 3 different times and keep getting an error.
-
Kenny Pordon (@KennyPordon) reported@aaronrift @hbomax I had a lot of problems with authenticating devices as well. My TV was the last that worked. Ruined opening match for me. PPVs looks amazing in Dolby Vision, so I'll stick with it. I'd make Dynasty $19.99 for subscribers and purchasers of Revolution. Make it right.
