They are screwing the pooch on the HBO Max roll out. Probably because they are trying to extract more money from the like of Roku and Amazon.

If you used HBO GO on older devices, you are likely out of luck. I have have 2015 Samsung TV that isn’t supported, also one at my mom’s house. The work around is to use my iPhone, HDMI adapter, and HDMI cable.

With all these new streaming services I hope someone brings back the video rental store.

Interesting.

An Operating Unit has its own P&L and Balance Sheet, with OE flowing upward to the parent. It is quite different than a Division which merely has P & L.

At least that is my understanding.

I know folks who work at ATT. They have noticed (one if those “can’t help but notice” things) that the company intranet has yet to promote or crow about the “success” of HBO Max after launch. My brother has yet to make it work at his house.

Net: looks like it was a rush job Charlie Foxtrot. Over-priced, weak content (no Game of thrones) and beta code for the interface.

They deserve the failure if you ask me.

And the BS of blaming poor results across ATT on COVID has to be wearing thin with shareholders.

Time Warner’s biggest mistake.... not continuing the Animaniacs!

Bring back the Animaniacs! Or I am going to start a boycott movement!
