The rollout of HBO Max has been a disaster for sure. The fact that they can't get HBO Max onto Roku and Amazon devices is quite a mess.
I am not sure why they did not merge HBO Now and HBO Go into a single "HBO" app a number of years ago. Allow people to sign in to a single app with either their cable provider or their HBO.com account. |

The problem is that HBO wants either a cut of their advertising revenue (which represents more than 75% of their respective revenue streams - it's not from the sale of their devices) or they want both to stop offering HBO on their respective services (i.e., subscribing through Amazon or The Roku Channel in order to purchase an HBO subscription) because HBO loses money when subscribers don't purchase directly. So until those issues are worked out, HBO Max will not be available on either service. Quote:
HBO Go is for those who subscribe through a Third-Party company such as Direct TV, Spectrum, Cox, Amazon, Roku, etc. while HBO Now is for those that purchase directly from HBO. The reason for separating the app is for tracking and accounting purposes. |

Download the HBO Max app to whatever device and login. |

You sign in to Go using whatever login credentials you’ve set up with your TV provider." |
HBO Now is now just HBO on Roku. Its nice it rolled in HBO Max. Which I like its offers, thankfully I have a XBOX One as well but would rather it just be on ROKU for all my tvs.

From what I have seen with HBO Max, they have a ton of room for improvement in these two areas: Turner movie library and DC Comics stuff. They have a bunch of very obvious titles in the Turner collection such as Casablanca. How about bringing in some classics that aren't so obvious? Their Batman & Superman collection is a joke as well. Nowhere close to the amount of content that they could have in there, given the massive archive of content owned by AT&T.

And unlike Disney, Warner's has licensing deals with a ton of TV networks so they won't have all of their library on the site until at least 2023, with more coming after 2025. They're losing the Harry Potter films later this month. Their content is weak so far, which is reflected in the current number of subscribers. |
