    @TonyKhan fix this revolution nonsense on @hbomax audio is like a minute off. Amateur hour.

    Dear @hbomax and @NOWTV - why can't I download The Pitt onto my iPad to watch on a flight tomorrow? Is it a glitch with the new platform on Now TV, is it a problem with this series or is this simply unavailable for download for Now TV Subscribers?

  • SteveG561

    @TonyKhan this deal you’ve made with HBO has made it impossible to watch your PPVs. @hbomax has the worst customer service I’ve ever seen in my life. Literally no help or assistance whatsoever to give me access to the PPV or to get my money back after waiting hours. This is bs.

    How to save Paramount and Warner Brothers? Rebrand #DavidEllison Replace @paramountplus and @hbomax with simply HBO which stands for... Home Box Office. HBO Netflix YouTube This should be the big 3. Studios have become silos and force people to take sides. YouTube and Netflix, even Amazon, are not studios, they are brands. The names have become the product. Netflix is used for streaming like Kleenex is used for tissues. HBO could easily be the "generic" rebrand people reach for. Already known for high-quality TV, it's simple and self explanatory without having to ask, what does Paramount own again? What does Warner Brothers own? Plus and Max descriptions are 20th century marketing. Lose them or lose the business. IMHO 😎

    @hbomax please fix the audio on @aew Revolution. It’s so hard to watch. We all paid for this. We deserve better. #AEWRevolution @TonyKhan

    @hbomaxhelp Three hours deep into a show to fix it is diabolical.

    @hbomaxhelp @teddy_nst Everyone is having the same issue and you guys aren’t actually doing anything to fix it

    @hbomaxhelp we have been trying to get ahold of you for an hour. We have tried to call message you about the aew ppv now working for us. At this point we want a refund. Can you help.

    Sdot 😵‍💫 (@The_StevenHo) reported

    @hbomaxhelp @AEWonTV @StreamOnMax There was no make good and watching the show live was impossible. Almost as impossible as getting to talk to a real human instead of the chat bot on your help page.

  • Yamikeck
    Kenny Eckley (@Yamikeck) reported

    @hbomaxhelp i want a refund. i bought the aew ppv from your app and almost a hour and a half in it is still not working. I had to go to youtube and pay for it for a second time to be able to watch the ppv.

  • MCConditioner
    NICK Hudson (@MCConditioner) reported

    @hbomaxhelp I’m watching it on a laptop on my bed instead of the tv like normal I also missed the first 25 minutes as well, I’m just annoyed I have to jump threw hoops to get something i paid for to work properly

    @NOWTV your trailer about @hbomax coming together has a spoiler from Heated Rivalry in it, please fix that.

    @alissaTweets @hbomax @TonyKhan Highly doubt it. I once had a streaming issue with another service that wouldn't refund me, so I unsubscribed next day.

    @addievervale @hbomax maybe a stupid question but are you logged in? it still says sign in/sign up in the corner. some websites are weird and after you sign up it doesn't automatically bring you into your account, you have to sign in separately. it makes no sense 😭 i can see all the eps on my acct!

    @marykayfabe @hbomax @AEW Was able to get it to work on a laptop. Usually we watch on the Max app on Xbox, but it wouldn’t work. Never had that issue before. Hopefully it’s an isolated incident

    @wbd @HBO @hbomax Congratulations! Thanks to you, the entire Harry Potter franchise has become a laughingstock. Every day there are mocking edits, and you don't care about these complaints at all! You're awful, absolutely awful!
