Max (aka HBO Max)
« on: Oct 16, 2024 at 05:32 PM »


Max Confirmed to Launch in Seven Asian Territories in November

Warner Bros. Discovery has confirmed that its streaming service Max will launch in seven territories in Southeast Asia next month.

From Nov. 19, it will be available in Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand as well as Taiwan and Hong Kong.

Max will offer a choice of different plans. Full details about pricing will be announced in the coming weeks and will vary by country and provider. Mobile-only plans will be available in Indonesia and the Philippines, and via select providers in Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines and Thailand.

WBD currently operates a stopgap HBO Go streaming service in parts of East Asia. Max represents both a better technology platform and a wider content offering.

The 51 Best Shows on HBO and Max Right Now (September 2024)

It's a great list of shows but do note that the link above is for viewers in the US and Canada.  Some of the shows may not be available here, and, in the same vein, some of the shows we will get may not be available in North America.

wala pa pricing, I think medyo malapit siguro sa Netflix ang price. and sana may 4K DV/HDR & DA na ito unlike yung HBO Go.

Just got notification that my HBO Go sybscription will be transferred to Max.

HBO Asia will transfer your HBO Go Annual Plan subscription from HBO GO to Max: Stream HBO, TV, & Movies on Nov 17, 2024. There will be no change to your subscription price or billing schedule. We’ll email you when this change occurs.

Hindi kaya pareho lang yan?

I'm expecting the announcement of the pricing of the local subscription plans for Max to be made tomorrow?

Sa tingin ko sulit naman ang Ultimate.  Max isn't just HBO content, the libraries of Warner Bros., Discovery, CNN, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, Animal Planet, TBS, TNT, Eurosport, etc. are also included.

For instance, I am a cycling enthusiast, and, right now, the only way to watch many cycling events sanctioned by the UCI (like the mountain bike world cup) are through Max.

That's a competitive pricing plan compared to what Disney+ is offering. HBO Max also has better content/quality overall, especially for their TV shows/series.

For me, the P900 difference between the annual plans for the Standard and Ultimate packages (or P75/month difference) will represent the cost of getting 4K resolution and Dolby Atmos audio from their content. :)

My guess is it will be decomissioned tapos you just have to login to the new  Max app. Yung Sony TV ko bigla nagkaroon ng Max app. Sa ngayon hindi pa na oopen yung app.

I hope ganun nga rin sa TV ko. Otherwise, bitawan ko na ung HBO Go app. I am just waiting if magiging Max sya. Ang pangit kasi ng HBO Go. Thanks

In terms of programs, parang wala naman nabago. May Friends na but that's about it. Picture quality is noticeably better. Cosmetic difference lang din in terms of user interface.

Be sure to check out the "Brand Spotlight" section to get access to other programs like HGTV, Discovery, food network, Cartoon Network, etc. :)

Unfortunately, not all of the titles on HBO GO is available on MAX. I won't be able to finish watching Creed 2 which I only started yesterday. Nor can I watch the HBO movie, Conspiracy, which was on my watch list.  :-[

So far, I've been able to enjoy watching: a Robin Williams documentary, an episode of Adventure Time, some HGTV, and an episode of Chernobyl.  The quality difference between HBO Go and Max is really so far apart.

I'll be watching my first episode of Dune: Prophecy tonight. :)

Naka Dolby Atmos and Vision din sa TV ko. 4K na ang HP and LoTR series. 

Mukha panoorin ko na naman.

I also loved na meron Discovery content, this is also good for the kids.
