HBO MAX Release Date Announced

- Start date
Maybe you don’t get out enough ...
While waiting at the optometrist I watched a bit of an episode of BBT. We’re on vacation and the wife goes to the grocery store and I watch an old episode of Home Movies while I wait on the car. I’m napping in the camper with an old movie as background noise. At my office desk I can listen to a news station with headphones and not bother anyone.
While sitting on my ass at my kids practices (pre-Covid) if I wasn't BSing with other parents, I'd watch a movie/show or something. Thursday night football. Etc.
For others sitting in the car...you can only play SOOOOOO much Candy Crush...amIrite?
I will probably piss you guys off and I apologize but I find it very sad you feel you must use screen time to get thru life.
Enjoy the moment around you, you are missing so much.

I play video games...
Okay boomer ... I will strive to enjoy sitting in my truck waiting to be allowed into the optometrist office because they can’t let more than two people in at a time.
You could always listen to the radio
I could do lots of things... listen to commercials with a song mixed in every now and then ... read yet another news article about some aspect of coronavirus ... jerk off ... or watch an episode of Rick and Morty on my phone ... none of these are bad things.
No worries. I don't feel that I must.
But its a damn sight better than watching annoying kids not listen to their coach.
I don't think I labeled any behavior as "bad" . Do what pleases you. I am simply stating my thoughts on the issue
Is HBO Max on Roku at this point? I haven't looked in a while...
On my TCL TV which has Roku built in, I saw a banner for some shows on HBO Max.
Intrigued, I clicked to see if it would start playing...and it does.
Is it a "Free Trial" or have they come to an agreement?

Doesn't look like it yet from a quick googling.
I couldn't find it either.
Don't have any idea who is more to blame but the whole situation seems really childish

Rose and I have cell service with AT&T. We changed an old unlimited plan to the new unlimited plan. It is cheaper, includes cell hot spot and HBO Max. It allows three connections at a time. So multiple viewing platforms that may include phones, tv's and tablets. These do not have to be at the same location. We just finished watching Raised By Wolves.

I’ll just say that if the HBO Max app was being treated like literally every other app on the Roku and Amazon platforms, it’d be on the Roku and Amazon platforms.
It is a money dispute. They do not want to pay Roku and Amazon what they are asking for. Just grab the new "Chromecast with Google TV" device for $50. It just came out, sports the new Google TV operating system replacing Android TV (it is just a rebrand and a new skin) and gets good reviews. It also supports both HBO Max and Peacock.
HBOmax now available on Amazon Fire devices

I cancelled the HBO service ( not Max) I get thru Roku. I refuse to give AT&T anymore movie until they get this whole mess straightened out.
The reports I read vary on the party most responsible for the deadlock but it appears Roku just wants the deal other services like Disney and Peacock have

Why HBO Max Needs to ‘Blink First’ in Standoff With Roku

I can’t go into much detail but will say that many of the things stated in the linked articles regarding the sticking points between Roku and Warne/AT&T are based inaccurate and incomplete information.
