HBOMAX Is Dead, Long Live MAX…MAX Is Dead, Long Live HBOMAX

Could you imagine if these streaming services had to have contracts with computers? "Oh, you can't watch Netflix on a Dell, you need to have a Lenovo. Dell only supports Amazon and Peacock."

Just give permission for all the fucking streaming sticks and dongles and smart TVs and let us watch your god damned shit.

But TV is so much better now!

The video quality through the PS4 app is horrendous.

Ps4 is just terrible at streaming in general. My PS4 is connected to the internet by an ethernet cord and it performs significantly worse than my WiFi connected Roku.

When I finally upgrade my console I'll probably go Xbox because of how bad it's been.

Can confirm the PS5 apps so far look and run well.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

This is the streaming era equivalent of wrapping your rabbit ears in foil and making your kid stand next to the TV and hold up the one that keeps falling down.



Make it just work or GTFO!

I don't know what that has to do with anything. I don't have Roku. So, I'm a little lost on this entire discussion. I just saw a tweet after reading the thread and thought that might help some folks out.

I thought she was referring to Airplay? Maybe not. It just illustrates how convoluted and frustrating this whole thing is.

You could cast your screen but then you wouldn't be able to browse your phone when the show gets boring.

This feels like its a forgone conclusion that Dune doesn't get its part 2.

be honest, you were thinking about dune when you made this post.

[The Argonaut]

An old laptop that's permanently plugged into the television with an HDMI cable is really the best option. You don't have to worry about smart TVs or Rokus or buying new versions of anything. Most everything is accessible through a laptop. Prove me wrong

[Revelator]

So I 100% agree with whoever said HBO Max runs like shit on the PS4, because it definitely does. The streaming apps seem to run MUCH better on the PS5 though so I'm really hoping HBO develops/refines the app for PS5, especially now with the news that WB broke today.....

[VinylGuy]

Bold move. I still feel that if theatres are open i prefer to see movies like Dune or The Suicide Squad on the big screen.

[wease]

For a few I’d agree. But for most movies, the only advantage for me that the theater has over home viewing is the popcorn.

[daft twat]

Still not on Roku, but this sure is something.

This is a huge wow!

I have good news for you, wease.
