It's $15/month (for now...), the same price for HBO but with way way way more content.

HBO Max to launch in the US in May 2020 for $14.99 a month with 10,000 hours of content (Existing HBO Subs will transfer)
- Thread starter TheAbsolution
- Start date
Just their originals. You likely won't see a more comprehensive list until much closer to the launch date in May. We're still a ways off.
For my Mexican compatriots, the service is also coming to all Latin America. HBO just purchased the company that handles all rights in Latin America (well, except Brazil).
Oh man... HBO Max is under Warner. If they bring Steven Universe Future to full series, I will lose my mind! Please do it!
I have bad news for you if you were hoping they would cut ties:
Sky and HBO Strike New Programming Deal
Sky has secured its pipeline of HBO content under the terms of a new deal.

Has there been any word on how many screens they will support or even profiles? I know its a decent way aways, just figured I'd ask.
$19.99 CDN. It's a bit much. Yeah. And yeah the quality is occasionally abysmal. We did watch The Expanse on it and the picture quality was pristine. (On the Samsung TV app)
Maybe I'll try to get the app running again. The Expanse on the PVR crave app vs Amazon Prime...AP looks so much better. Like going from SD to HD.
Side note: stoked for the new season of The Expanse. Pls be 4k HDR...
I predicted this months ago despite my foolish hopes in this thread but I'm still disappointed regardless. Maybe in 5-10 years HBO will end the Bell partnership. Can't even develop a PS4 app on time or get good quality streams. Bell should be hiring for the division but they'd rather do deals and advertise.
I hope the BBC yanks Doctor Who from Crave eventually.
I don't know how it is with the other platforms, but on anything Apple (iOS, iPadOS, tvOS) the quality is pretty good. It's a good quality 1080p stream. I usually watch Crave using the Apple TV, and even upscaled to 4K the quality is more than adequate.

God damnit, well .. at least I'll know where those shows will be. It's a good thing Sky melt like butter when it comes to discounting the service when I threaten to leave them.
Its looking like I'll have Sky Q, Netflix, Prime and D+ at this rate. Yikes haha.
We'll see what they do with this.. I already have FIOS w/ all HBO channels so was already getting HBOGO for "free". If the same doesn't apply to HBOMax, it's bullshit.
Particularly if they're giving it to DirecTV, AT&T etc customers.
It's a Warner show that was broadcast on CBS. CBS has no rights to it.
In terms of content quality. The combination of HBO/WB makes this easily the best one so far imo.

Like Canada, you're going to get the originals through a third party providers (Sky) as they've just resigned a deal with them, sorry. :/
Oh well. I'll have to keep my NOW TV sub then (Sky's streaming service). Thanks
That is completely garbage. What the fuck, man. Fuck Bell, screw Crave. Not going to subscribe to their shit service.
I had a feeling this was too good to be true for Canada.
Crave is really far from perfect, but it really isn't that bad, though...
HBO go - folks with cable subs, their tv anywhere app
HBO now - folks accessing hbo without cable (directly through hbo or through amazon for example)
HBO Max- Warner media
They want to upgrade most of the other hbos into max
HBO Max is the Warner Bros' equivalent of Disney+. It gives you way more content than HBO Now / HBO Go.
It has content from HBO, TNT, TBS, CNN, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, Boomerang and Turner Classic Movies. Even select Crunchyroll content.
It also has all of the Warner Bros films and Studio Ghibli films.
They'll keep Go/Now for a while but they obviously want everyone to switch to Max. It will be a no-brainer.
I wonder if they need to keep Go because of movie licensing. I might be wrong but I think HBO still licenses movies that are not from WB. Will these all be available on Max?
Otherwise I agree, it's confusing to keep all of them around unless HBO subscribers won't always get Max for free.

So if you have HBO Go, you can use your Go credentials for Max? or do you need to make a new account?
