Essential HBO MAX Thread

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

ive been watching fresh prince eps while working..is it me or does it look like there's extra shyt in these episodes that ive never seen before? like scenes i dont remember

yes because in syndication they trim the episodes for commercial purposes. These eps should be shown in full..

I tried using this on my PS4. It doesn't respond to any of my Harmony remote commands that work in the main menus. This launch has been a complete disaster. Not being available on Fire TV or Roku means they're forgoing at least 70% of the set top box streaming market. Fine time for my Nvidia Shield to take a crap on me.

All i see is dexter, no eds, no johnny bravo etc

And they are in the process of getting rid of the full streaming version of it (ATT TV Now). A full streaming service isn't profitable for the cable companies. The price points are too low, the customers can leave whenever they want, etc. AT&T TV (not ATT TV Now) requires you to purchase a set top box and sign a two year contract. It's a stupid and dated model but ATT is convinced this is the only way to make money. It takes 26 months for to break even on a new customer to the service. Their only hope is to get you to bundle with internet and/or phone and get you to stay on contract for as long as possible.

I say all this because I was a lead strategist for AT&T Tv. It's a shytty product and I hated everything from the name to the pricing structure. But big corporate AT&T wasn't tryna hear anything from people like me.

Here's an article on the ATT TV/Tv Now differences: AT&T TV vs. AT&T TV Now: What's the Difference? - Clark Howard

I can't speak on HBO Max tho, I wasn't on that team and I haven't even checked it out yet.

THIS DOESNT SAY THEYRE TRYING
TO GET RID OF ATT TV NOW
WHICH IS WHAT I HAVE.

I DIDNT EVEN KNOW THERE WAS AN "ATT TV"
JUST DIDNT FEEL LIKE TYPING OUT THE "NOW"

Yeah they haven't announced it but they've completely eliminated all marketing, it's not even on the main home page any more. They're also been getting rid of channels and changing price points.

It's a shame because it's actually a decent product but the focus is elsewhere now.

Does it not respond to your PS4 controller?

I've been running through Fresh Prince and it's so weird seeing these little bits in every episode that were always edited out of syndicated reruns. I'm just now seeing them for the first time since I was only alive for half of its run lol.

There's this one bit from the episode where the house gets robbed when Will finds his homie in court and is all that's been killing me

 

[TheNatureBoy]

Watched the 1st episode of Doom Patrol, pretty solid so far. Will probably be the first show I go through on the service. Maybe Search Party after it.
