      So you're essentially getting regular HBO and a lot of extra content for the same price ($14.99/month) that you'd pay for a satellite/cable HBO subscription?

      I'm assuming an HBO satellite/cable subscription gives you HBO Max at no extra cost?

        Correct. It's included with my DirecTV.

          Yeah, I'm assuming HBO Now will be going away soon then (?) Makes no sense to pay the same and get less content. Although it seems HBO Max may not be available everywhere yet.

            If you have At&t or DTV, you may get it for free. If you pay for HBO, you get it, some wireless plans, and Internet 1000 gets it.

            I looked at the featured stuff and there really isn't much to watch. I will probably finish some of the series that I couldn't record from the free previews recently.

                I cut the cord a while ago.I think I will give this a try for the free week at least. I am trying them all (Neflix,HULU, Disney +).

                Disney I have free for a year thru Verizon. So far not really impressed. Of course I like the Mandalorian but one show does not make a service. So unless a change comes, I wont renew to a paid service.

                HULU is nice for the few live TV shows I am interested in. Don't mind waiting a day so no real problems there.

                Netflix. Well its Netflix, Good balance of content.

                If I add HBO Max I will still be paying $70 less a month than I was with TV and Internet bundled with my ISP. With no contracts so I can cancel and renew as finances, needs or tastes change.

                  So far I am enjoying it. Lot of content that I have never watched. WestWorld, GOT etc. Like having Dr Who and BBT as well. May be enough there to keep me on after the free trial. Hopefully they step up the DC Content and that would be even better.

                      just sideload it. works fine other than the app icon still showing hbonow instead of max

                      Vic: No Kenny, that's girl versus girl.
                      Kenny: What's the difference?
                      Vic: Well, in one, one girl wins. In the other....
                      Kenny: Everyone wins?!?!

                        Although I'm a fan of Matthew Rhys (The Americans) and have no problem with him being a much thinner Perry Mason I do have some concerns.

                        (1) It's set in 1930's Los Angeles (as opposed to late 1950's mid-1960's LA in the TV series) which is OK because it's an origin story but then you're restricting it as a limited series?

                        (2) He's not a lawyer, but rather a private-eye which is OK because it's an origin story but then you're restricting it as a limited series?

                        (3) A lot of the series is delving into Mason's backstory which includes a stint in World War 1. I have a feeling I will never be reminded of the Raymond Burr version one iota.

                        Premieres June 21st.
