I agree for the most part. However, here's the big difference - I don't have to spend hours on the phone with a crap company like DirecTV to renegotiate prices. There are no contracts. Also, Centurylink has no data limits, so I'm good.
Here's mine though:
YTTV: 50
Disney/Hulu/ESPN+: 12
Amazon Prime: 0 - My wife would pay for this anyway for the shipping
That's all I have and that's more content than I could ever watch especially once sports gets fired up again. And let's be honest - most people before cutting the cord were spending way more than 75.00. I know I was.
There is a hint of irony in this post in an HBO Max thread trying to point out an advantage to streaming being that you don't have to deal with crop companies like DirecTV. DirecTV and HBO are now both owned by ATT.
I don't subscribe to either. That said it's a good point - I should have said crap business models like the cable model where you have to sign a 2 year contract and the prices are always changing. If the price changes for a streaming service you can cancel online without even having to pick up the phone and haggle for 2 hours.
So I don’t really care if HBO Max isn’t available on Fire devices as long as they still support the HBO Now app which I currently have a pay subscription before. However, tonight I go to fire up HBO Now on my Fire TV and it’s telling me it’s no longer supported, I need to go download HBO Max. Of course, there is no Max on Fire devices yet. I swear to God sometimes I swear the world is run by ******* morons.
So who has HBO max? Is it worth it? Dropped netflix and thinking of picking up HBO max for the new releases of movies.
I have it, but only because i had HBO thru Hulu prior to the launch of HBO Max. At first there wasnt an app available for XBox and Amazon Fire Stick which sucked. But now that is all fixed and it works great.
there is a lot of content. the exclusive content is good and the catalog is growing. plus you get access to all of the shows and movies that come with HBO.
We watch it more than we expected.
A lot of that is driven by classic Sesame Street.
I rarely find things to watch on Netflix. Somehow we're getting HBO Max for free. Otherwise we wouldn't keep it
I would say just try it. That's the beauty of these apps. You can try it for a month or two and if you don't like it drop it. There's no long term contract or anything. There's a lot of good stuff on it, but I'll probably drop it when I get through a couple of series I'm in the middle of.
For fans of Regular Show, check out "Close Enough" on HBO Max. It was created by JG Quintel (creator of Regular Show) - target audience is for the 30-somethings that have kids that grew up with those adult-swim type of shows. It's not as good as R.S. but it has it's moments.
Agree. I haven't been watching much Netflix since they dropped the Office. HBO Max has some really good shows.
The new Max app is garbage. I have no idea why it’s so clunky compared to the HBO Max app. It won’t even update my resume watching section on the main screen. It sometimes saves my spot in a series when I go and search for it. It’s incredibly annoying trying to find where I left off on a show every single time.
