Most people who get HBO via cable/IPTV get MAX, though.

Its like $14 extra on my bill.

:beli:

In addition to regular HBO? I thought that HBO and most cable companies worked out deals to give you Max if you subscribe to HBO

Yup.

HBO GO is free thru provider not MAX.

Oh okay. Us Optimum customers get Max for free if we have HBO
I didn't even consider all the confusion about which cable providers would offer HBO max as part of the HBO sub and how many providers wouldn't.
This whole thing is probably the biggest streaming clusterfukk ever.

I know its confusing but this isnt true. GO and NOW users have access to MAX. I have Directv and have access to MAX via authentication.
Its not true for YOU.
I have Spectrum.
MAX is an extra $14 on MY cable bill.
My GO shyts is free.
That
shyt
Is
Retarded.

The decision should have been made to phase out HBO Now and anyone who had Now would automatically be a Max subscriber since they have the same pricepoint.
Keeping Now around once Max launched was idiotic and just added to an already confusing situation.

was really a whole lot of confusion for no reason. really just shouldve ditched NOW as you said or renamed them shyts HBOGO MAX and HBO NOW MAX

then that is really confusing to me. and tbh, I dont see how this is the case. I was an engineer for Spectrum, I dont have video service with them now though since I dont work there. So you are saying they added MAX to your bill or you chose to add it yourself? you were already previous subscriber to GO? their HBO authentication doesnt work for MAX :mindblown:

also, they banged you for $14 when new subscribers got it for $12? you were a first time sub with no promo rate? none of that sounds right, but I am assuming you know what you are doing. Directv isnt like this. what other providers are pulling this fukk shyt?:wtf:

I been had HBO/HBO GO for years now.
I added the MAX to my account.
So yeah, I did that on my own.
I dont understand why its like that. But i been confused about it since before MAX dropped.
I dont know.
:manny:

I didnt even know an app could be charged to your cable account before this shyt.

:deadmanny:

ok, question, did you try to authenticate MAX using your Spectrum account? if you didnt, they you added it for no reason. if you did and it didnt work then thats some fukked up shyt. below is what it says on my account billing.

So....im starting Nova's Weekly picks for those who keep bytching about nothing on HBO Max, I sift thru HBO traditional weekly slate and bring you the best of the week to come, hopefully not too pretentious to counter act the pretentious complaining...





Honorable Mentions

I put this below because of her final choice and the reason she did it

it's good just not as good as the hipster critics said it was, it was that summer's Logan Lucky
