Yes, HBO Max has been charging people $15 a month with no 4K content all this time.

 

[Calcium]

Get other 4K content and I'll be impressed. WW84 isn't anything to get excited about.

 

[Setzer]

About damn time! Now make everything else on your streaming service available in 4k!

 

[dorkimoe]

Yay. I was waiting for this. No way they could have launched that movie without it.
Now so the back catalogue

I thought the same thing until I saw apples streaming. They are close to a disc quality

 

[RPS37]

Way more excited for this than I probably should be.

Yup Apple streaming is real good.

Wish they had a black friday deal missed their September one.

 

[Ichabod]

And still no roku app :/

Hopefully the quality is as good as Disney+, whose 4K-HDR content looks as good as the quality from 4K-UHD Blu-ray discs.

Disney+'s software engineers are wizards, because they're the only team who has been able to rival picture quality from 4K-UHD Blu-ray discs via streaming.

Netflix and Amazon Prime have noticeable compression artifacts that are especially obvious in the dark scenes of 4K-HDR content. Hopefully, HBO Max won't have these problems.

I am using HBO GO app, I got access from my cable operator, its the worst streaming app I have ever used. There is no surround sound, only stereo and it keeps crashing.

I really wish they would cut ties with Sky and release HBO Max in the UK.

As it stands, all HBO Max content will be on Sky, and their steaming platform, Now TV.

But Now TV is gash. You first have to pay separately for the TV and movie passes, which is over £20 if you want both. However, all of this just streams in SD. If you want to stream in HD, which is a damn standard for almost all streaming platforms, you need to pay an extra £3.99 for their "boost pass".

Fuck that.

These artifacts would be pretty easy to solve if we could use something like madVR on these streaming services.

I already use it on youtube and it looks great.

What are HBO Max’s must watch shows?

 

[Goro Majima]

What are HBO Max’s must watch shows?

Curb Your Enthusiasm which is still running.

From their catalog something like Veep is fantastic. Then they have all the old "prestige" shows like The Wire and The Sopranos.

Watchmen is a great sequel to the comic.

 

[BigBooper]

Do they have their back catalog on HBO MAX or is it all the new stuff?

 

[partime]

a slow start for 4k rollout, but a start none the less.

 

[MaestroMike]

Wish they had a black friday deal missed their September one.
