Is this replacing HBO Now or HBO go?
They're getting pretty confusing here- thus far, Go has been what you get if you subscribe to HBO via a traditional provider (like DirecTV or Comcast), Now was standalone. But is this replacing Now? Is it yet another thing? If it's yet another added service they may have an uphill battle with their pricing being up there above Disney+ and in Netflix territory.

I just found this article that explains it all
Will HBO Go Become HBO Max? Does HBO Max Replace HBO Now
It's a bit confusing. In essence it seems there will be 3 services
Yeah, it looks like HBO Max essentially is HBO Go/Now but adds other stuff in an effort to compete with Netflix and Disney+. They say Charter and AT&T TV customers will get it added for free- I wonder if that includes DirecTV, since that's now owned by AT&T.
All this is making the days of cable/satellite bundles seem like they were easy to understand and sort out.
Just found this- looks like DirecTV HBO subscribers will get HBO Max too. So I guess we'll have it too.
I'll keep an eye out for the Apple TV app.

HBO Max debuts without the two most popular streaming platforms, Roku or Amazon
This seems like a terrible idea.

AT&T is in negotiations with those platforms. I can’t share much but it suffices to say that if Roku and Amazon were charging AT&T the same as every other content provider they’d be there.
Hope they get the $ figured out soon.
Same old story the Big Boys have a pissing match and the customer is the one that loses
Loses?
It’s a streaming TV service that literally didn’t exist yesterday. I fail to see how anyone’s losing anything. I’m waiting to see the optometrist and watching BBT on my phone. I’m bothered that I won’t be able to watch on most of my TVs but I’m sure that’ll get worked out sooner or later. Or maybe it won’t and the service dies a quick fear because of a lack of subscribers.
IMHO a streaming service can’t survive without being available on the two platforms that make up 2/3 of all viewership.
Unfamiliar...What is the Studio Ghibli collection?
Nevermind, googled...
I have AT&T TV Now. As such, it seemed obvious to me I would have HBO Max grandfathered it (since HBO is owned by AT&T)
I was trying to login to HBO Max via my PS4.
Downloaded the App, "sign in with Satellite or TV Provider"
AT&T TV Now, nowhere to be found. Only AT&T and DirecTV.
I was so confused. Searched the web and stuff was inconclusive.
Anyway...you login using AT&T listed as the provider. I hope they get this all roped together because its a bit confusing.
Pretty soon everything will simply be Amaz&TSoftBook.

I have the AT&T TV set top box (which is amazing for the service but not inexpensive) runs on Android and accesses the Google Play store. It’s the one TV in my house that I can use for HBOmax.
I’m really loving it on my phone tho.
