I have heard of so many HBOs: Regular HBO, HBO Go, HBO Now.
What the [bleep] is the difference between those services?
First, its okay to be confused.
Until a few months ago, HBO never made it easy to distinguish between its various products.
Its now much simpler though still a tad confusing.
(Also, to be clear,its not TV.
So whats HBO Max?
(Its okay to groan here.)
Theres even a button you’re free to choose the Max app that will basically show youjustHBO stuff.
Why the change?
So what are the movies and TV shows that come with HBO Max?
How much does HBO Max cost?
Its $14.99 per month.
I already have a version of HBO.
How do I get HBO Max?
(verify you have automatic updates turned on, or look for an update to the app.)
(Check here regularly to see if the two sides make peace.)
(I tried it; it works well!)
Is there a way to get HBO Max for free if I currently dont have HBO?
But with the launch of Max, AT&T is expanding which customers get free access.
AT&T put out a full list of which customers are eligible for which freebieshere.
How do I actually watch HBO Max?
And as mentioned previously, ts also included on a number of cable platforms, includingComcast XfinityandCox Contour.
What if I dont want all this extra stuff and just want to stream HBO shows?
Can I still do that?
Its Max or nothing, bub.

For now, yes.
There are plans to distribute the platform globally, but for now, its an American thing.
