I can't say I like the set up. I liked the old set up more, like how the movies in TMC were listed onto genres making it easy if you just wanted to look at international films or dramas you now have to just go through every film.
I think the idea is that now it will push the content to the top that it thinks you're most likely to watch like Netflix does so there's fewer sub-categories now. I kind of like the "old school" way of digging through the menus, though, myself. I question how much the algorithm REALLY knows me haha
@@ShallIStreamIt I just remembered (memory unlocked!! 😁) way back in the early 80’s the letters HBO were gold, often against a gray background. Then, the letters HBO were silver against a pinkish purple background in the late 80’s -early nineties.

But the black and white is so natural for them that in my mind they are as immovable as McDonald’s ‘Golden Arches.’
@@ShallIStreamIt and I think black and white are especially appropriate colors for HBO because they are the only colors seen during the main part of the tremendous “HBO In Space “ channel fanfare introduction of the 80’s-early 90’s.
@@YourBoyJohnny94 I don’t really remember it. I spent most of the years of the existence of HBO GO(the previous company app) trying to get that working smoothly that by the time we got HBO Now, that app was already on its way out for HBO Max.

I have HBO Max now (Max) free from AT&T and then paid for Discovery+ with no ads. Just cancelled discover+ since most of it's content is on Max too now. Outside of the name I love having more content in one place and I'm saving money. Not 1 reason for me to complain and most other people shouldn't either as their not losing anything really except for maybe 4K 6 months from now.
Hey Darrion! I am also a subscriber of Discovery+ and HBO Max, I would like to get the new Max subscription and unsubscribe from Discovery+. What percentage of content do you estimate migrated from Discovery+ to Max? Thank you!
@@TheDreadwolfMetal I'm not seeing anything from the history channel, A&E, or lifetime channel. Cake wars, ace of cake, and shows that are really old.

You're not getting 4k right now. I'm in the same boat as you and there is no more 4K, Dolby vision or HDR content. That is only featured for the people spending $20 for their highest tier. And there's nothing stated as to whether us ATT subscribers can pay $5 for the 4K upgrade. What ATT has said is that its subscribers will be placed in the mid tier plan for 6 months and then after that, they will see if they will continue offering MAX to it's subscribers. So it is totally possible that we won't have any free MAX in 6 months.
@@dautolover so Max has stated anyone on the HBO max no add plan will have all their same features for 6 months and then lose 4k access. I haven't heard about AT&T stating anything about subscribers with free access losing access in 6 months. I can confirm I have access to 4k right now still through the free AT&T plan.
@@TechxGremlin so i stand corrected. the reason I was not getting 4k Dolby Vision/HDR was because I was using the Max app on my Apple TV 4k. However, if I use the native MAX app on my LG TV, then that actually does show movies in 4k/DV. The issue, then, is Apple TV needs to update the app to allow for higher resolution.
I downloaded a new Max app on my game console instead of updating the existing app. Should have done that. Now, BOTH app icons are up, though HBO Max is a husk. That is annoying. Automatic updates across devices should have been the norm, though David Zaslav did roll out the Max app much more smoothly than his predecessors at the top rolled out HBO Max. Maybe, a system update down the road will erase the HBO Max icon facade. Either way, it’s overall more interesting to me than I am annoyed by it.
UPDATE: I figured out how to delete the app facade, but the more professional approach would have been to provide automatic app updates. That is what happened when HBO Now became HBO Max.
When I heard of the “Wizarding World “ hub, I thought Harry Potter might be more permanently placed on Max. It’ll probably still be present on Peacock, but permanently on Max.
@@ShallIStreamIt Universal Studios has theme park rights to Harry Potter. So, as part of the deal, they have a pretty large amount of access to the movies in the Potter series.

I noticed on my Android TV I deleted HBO Max and downloaded the Max app, the app functions well. But, around the machine, HBO Max is still listed as the app. Probably/maybe have to wait for a system update to fix that.
@@Northstarboysvsp that’s what I am finding out with certain devices. On the streaming box and TV, app changes completely to the new Max app. On the gaming console, a shell of the old HBO Max app is there. On the streaming box, the app is fully functional, but stuff from the app around the device still identifies as HBO Max, not Max. Regardless, the new version of the app is awesome.
I had to search for the new Max app and download it. Wasn’t prompted and there were a few hours where both were functional. Figured it was because I was working in the middle of the night. I’m guessing within the next day or so everyone will be prompted to update.
Issues with this app every since they forced the update to the point I want cancel my service. Call them a week ago and they said there is going to be an update to fix the issue. Ive had to try again and go back over and over again to try to play a movie, sometimes nearly 20 times to get something to play.
