TwinIon Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 15 hours ago, Brick said: What's the point of having HBO Max, or I guess just Max now, when there already is HBO? Why are they different? I'm pretty sure that the "problem" is that HBO is synonymous with adult oriented content. With "Max" they want to make it appeal to everyone, so they're relegating HBO to one of the hubs within Max.

Keyser_Soze Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Yeah Cinemax was where you got all your Shannon Tweed movies. HBO only showed the classy stuff like Taxi Cab Confessions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 This makes so much more sense than just keeping it as HBO Max. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStar189 Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Just downloaded the app on my phone. Kind of mad, it looks like they got rid of the custom profile pics. My kids loved opening the app and seeing all of our pics on the profile page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 It looks like it doesn't remember where I was in The White House Plumbers despite pulling over the individual profiles. It thinks I've only watched the first two episodes. I'm sure people will love having to flail around figuring out where they were in something they were watching.

TheLeon Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 I was a little surprised at how smoothly this went for me. On both my phone and Xbox, all I had to do was download the new app. Didn’t even have to log in, it instantly brought up my account, and my history/watchlist all seem fine. Still a dumb thing.

I hope the rumors are true that Universal might buy WB. Universal is owned by Comcast through its NBCUniversal division and has a market capitalization of $169.42 billion. Warner Bros. Discovery has a market capitalization of $26.29 billion There is no way in hell Comcast shareholders are going to go for an acquisition that amounts to at least 15% of Comcast's market capitalization and would probably be significantly higher due to the acquisition premium. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
