So, do I have to pay for HBO Max, or what?
Our guide to the original TV shows and movies, catalog titles, launch date, price and other features of WarnerMedia’s new streaming service, HBO Max.What if I have HBO through another provider, like Verizon Fios, Xfinity or Spectrum?
That’s to be determined. WarnerMedia is currently in talks with other pay-TV distributors, with the goal of extending HBO Max deals to those providers’ customers. Those negotiations have only just started, and there’s no guarantee AT&T’s rivals will be keen on helping a competitor grow its streaming business. However, at Tuesday’s investor presentation, executives said they think rival pay-TV operators will want to work with them because of the quality of the product.
OK, how about my cord-cutter brother who subscribed to HBO Now last year? He already pays $15 a month for that.Yes. People who pay HBO directly through HBONow.com will have free access to the new product. But there are a lot of people who signed up through Apple or Amazon Prime Video. For those people to get free HBO Max access, WarnerMedia would have to secure deals with those companies. That hasn’t happened yet.About 10 million people.
Got it. I know a lot of people who just share their HBO passwords with friends. That works too right?WarnerMedia Chief Executive John Stankey was asked about password sharing at the HBO Max event by an analyst, and he acknowledged the industry has been “loose” on that front and will explore ways to prevent abuse as the streaming market grows. However, he said that the company also does not want to be “punitive” with customers.
