    I wonder if "at launch" means temporarily, and if so, for how long?

Spent 15 min on hold - finally spoke w someone who confirmed I have hbo and pay for it and should have hbo Max - couldn’t help me beyond that. Still can’t get in. Will try after work - I’m sure it won’t work and then I’ll wait on phone again…

    You may need to log onto att.com with your account and activate HBO Max, mine was already active and I didn't need to do anything but I believe some people do:

    Thanks for all the info, Mae. I really appreciate you taking the time.
    I'll echo this; Mae seems to be doing a better job of making this work for people than HBO.

    My guess would be that like, Disney they did not have all there shit together for the rollout. Matter of fact, from my experience dealing with DTV since, AT&T purchased them I woul;d say that they DEFINITELY do not have their shit together yet and probably won't for at least another week. Same would apply to trying to call for help. They are likely innundated with calls (and they're a fucking phone company at heart!!! lol) and will have long waits and disconnects.

    Come back and try in a week to 10 days.



    On a side note, say a prayer for the majority of their employee's who I've found to be knowledgeable, courteous and professional despite the constant corporate fuck ups!!!! lol

    Thanks Mae - just got home and saw your posts - of course when I log on to my ATT account that HBO Max isn't even listed as an option...doh - so I will try and see where else I can activate it 0 and then call again - just for the sheer torture of it all...

    well Ive been on the phone for close to an hour now - still unable to log on - we've changed password, tried multiple times, etc - seems like I am on off a lucky few where this is an issue. and oh by the way - the department that specifically deals with online issues like these has been shut down since the pandemic and not reopened yet. but the customer service woman I've been on with for nearly an hour has been helpful - but no go...shes trying to get me a promo code for free 30 days - until issue gets fixed

    Sorry to hear... Since you're already paying for HBO as part of your TV package, HBO Max should be free, so is it like for a free 30-day trial kinda thing? Cause right now there is a 7-day trial.

    we tried the promo thing - unfortunately the website also wanted my CC info to start billing after 30 days - I said nope - this was the first time the woman on customer service had to go through the process - so she didn't know we would need CC info (she laughed and said she was sorry - she wouldn't have given the cc info either). so no access as of right now. It is a known issue - in case you are a Directv/Att customer. Basically check back in a week if it still does not recognize me. Seems like ATT/directv forgot to flip a switch somewhere. But she did try everything for an hour - but nothing worked...so we will see and I'll update you all if anything works, if there is a fix, etc - or when it comes online

    not sure if them linking all of these accounts kinda screwed things up. when I log into directv it automatically reroutes to ATT website, etc...

    what are you trying to activate it on? I had an issue that kept getting me error messages because i had adblock and privacy badger turned on. and it would not take the activation code from my xbox. After i deactivated them for the website it worked. If you are trying to activate from a PC i would check that.

    I'm kind of miffed at HBO max because im paying for it twice at the moment lol. I signed up on 5/21 to get the 12 month discount rate locked in and it started me an HBO Now subscription that converted to HBO MAX on the 27th. I'm paying for my cable service sub until 6/4. i even called customer service and they wouldn't credit me for the week even though i did not know signing up would immediately create me an HBO NOW acct which was redundant.

    Sweet! Congrats. There is so much stuff to enjoy, been watching some classic cartoons and movies. As for originals, I usually wait for the season to complete, because all HBO Max originals will follow the weekly model, like regular HBO.

    thanks for all the updates and help...I really like it - Steph loves Harry Potter so she was psyched, Caleb always watches looney toons and we all enjoy Studio Ghibli - and I was ready to order some more movies - but the few (outside the mainstream ones) are all there :0

    Huh, I just signed in to HBOMAX and it was surprisingly easy. I'm a Directv customer and view streaming on an AppleTV device. It was a little goofy having to go and create an account via my PC after setting up on the Apple device as an existing customer, but not too much of a hassle. So, Now I have added a ton of shit to another device and service that I used to get all in one place!!! lol Or, together with my DVD collection. Of course now I don't have to get off my fat ass to watch the movie, but I do have to figure out who the fuck is streaming it!! LOL

    In all seriousness though this is getting ridiculous and expensive. I pay $100+ a month for DTV and the sports packages are extra. Then I have Disney+, Amazon prime and Netflix. And now HBOMAX which is free to me (for now I'm sure). Fortunately, my daughter and I split subscriptions. She pays for Netflix and gives me her PW and I pay for Amazon and give her mine. I pay for Disney+ and share it with my grandson's, but my son doesn't pitch in yet. It's becoming a really complicated deal to watch fucking "Friends"!! lol Just kidding about "Friends", but seriously in the past I really never gave a fuck who made the movie or TV show. Now I gotta be versed in networks, studio's and what not. lol And BONUS none of these guys have anything new except the old, HBO, Starz and Showtime I've had for years!!! lol

    Ain't technology grand??? lol lol
