I still have my 42 inch Toshiba that I bought from Circuit City in 2007 for 1,400. Keeping it out of spite of today's prices until it dies.

They tried to sell it but couldn't find any buyers. I like the service a lot, and have had it for exactly one billing cycle. Looks like I'll be turning to YoutubeTV now.

I like my Hulu with Live TV.

I like my parent’s Xfinity streaming credentials and reddit for NFL and NHL streams.

So...signed up for Disney+ when they were doing 3 years for $149 or whatever.

Now, as we get close to launch, I see it’s not available via FireStick. Any cheap workarounds?

Postby **Willie Kool** » Tue Oct 29, 2019 6:37 pm

Roku stick.

Postby **NTP66** » Tue Oct 29, 2019 6:59 pm

Fire sticks will apparently get the Apple TV app.

HBO max gets South Park and Green lantern TV show... Details starting to come out

Postby **eddy** » Wed Oct 30, 2019 11:13 am

So HBO Max and HBO Go/now are the same price ($15). I'm assuming you'll get all the live HBO shows on the Max app as you would with go/now, right?

Postby **DigitalGypsy66** » Wed Oct 30, 2019 11:16 am

Oh, it looks like every Warners property will be on HBO Max. That's...significant.

Postby **nocera** » Wed Oct 30, 2019 1:49 pm

Also, current HBO subscribers will get Max for free. Aw yeah

isn't that through AT&T only though?

Nope.

Existing HBO subscribers and about 10 million AT&T customers will get the new service for free, which will give it an eight-figure start in the race to close the gap with Netflix.

Every other article I've seen says it's AT&T only - for now at least...

AT&T will bundle HBO Max with some unlimited wireless plans as well as certain "premium" home TV and internet plans to promote the streaming service. It will work with other cable and satellite companies to get them to offer the HBO Max service for their customers too.

Meh. I get HBO for free now with my unlimited plan & DirecTV. If that doesn’t turn into Max, I guess I won’t be getting it.
