For the max app, the DirecTV log in didn’t work anymore. I had to choose AT&T login and use my wife’s AT&T wireless username and password. Max walked me through creating an account which I used my email. It warned me I could be charged twice since they recognized my email, but hitting ok was...

I don’t know when it happened but this Saturday I noticed the HBO channels in the guide are now greyed out. I’m streaming DirecTV app the HBO channels don’t even show up. Guess it’s time to adjust some DirecTV and AT&T plans since this benefit is no more.

I was a long time member over there. Also moved over to Broadband Bulletin Forum

It’s 2/27 and HBO is still working on DirecTV iPhone app. My bill for 2/22 through 3/21 still has the -16.99 Max credit and though not mentioned here the -25 credit with Aat&T unlimited. So not sure if this is pushed back till next billing cycle or what (3/22 through 4/21).

I thought I was going to lose the MAX discount and possibly the $25 a month AT&T wireless credit, but my latest bill still has these credits. Whenever they fall off from the separation of AT&T from TPG we are lowering our AT&T unlimited cellular plan.

Not yet. I think I will once HBO goes dark (have it via AT&T wireless).

I'm on Select. What's Preferred Choice? That seems one step down to save costs. Curious what that comes with.

That added Netflix stuff is likely why they are raising rates.

Ok, well no reason to pay for it twice, it think its over $14 or more a month on DirecTV. I'll have to see what my wifes AT&T phone bill is like. In fact she was going to redo that once a few years back and it screwed up all our DirecTV discounts so she had to work with a manager to undo that...

Right now when I sign into max, I choose DirecTV as my provider and use those credentials. So I think it sounds like they would remove that option, similar to how Paramount+ doesn’t list Comcast as a provider, despite those customers seeing it worded as Showtime with Paramount+ on their bills...

I received this email today from DirecTV: As an AT&T customer with a qualifying wireless or broadband plan that includes access to the Max (HBO) app, you have been receiving access from AT&T through the Max app as well as within your DIRECTV® video plan. Starting as early as 2/27/25, Max...

I belong to a few AI groups on facebook, and the writing here is a tell tale sign this is AI generated. More and more people will start to get lazy and just have AI do everything, even if the output is not correct. Its going to be sad when these young folk join marketing teams at DirecTV and...

We can't use Dish at our house because of dense tree cover that blocks the Eastern Arc. I've been with DirecTV for 14 years. Guess eventually I'll have to move to internet delivery. We do have decent quality DOCSIS 3.1 service now and our ISP is rolling out a 25GPON fiber to the home project...

Wow I claimed it and it still shows $80 and change due.

You know what I noticed and it’s not a big deal, but it’s more consistency issue with the UI. The guide has a dark gray background and all of the other menus have a navy blue background. It’s kind of bizarre from a design standpoint. I wonder if there’s any plans for the guide screen itself...

Our HR-44 got the new menu today. I like it, my wife doesn’t. For years she hits menu and scrolls down to the recordings which now is a horizontal box art. She’s like where’s the list, I just want a top down list. I said try the button that says list on it. Voila, there it is. I’ve only...

When the hard drive in the HR44 dies, I will use that as an opportunity to make changes. Its only inevitable. I raid my data drive on my PC but obv cant do that on a DVR. Theres just a lot of content and settings that we'll hang on to until its deathbed. In incognito mode, the link works...

I tried AT&T and DirecTV. Both take me to the same place. My stored credentials work for both. But once authenticated and in, the page redirects to that. I'm seeing a lot of other similar posts on DirecTV official forums. Apparently there's some kind of outage going on.

Anyone experiencing issues logging into the streaming app Max? I go to log in, choose DirecTV as the provider, successfully authenticate, but then it says it can’t verify subscription. All the HBO linear channels are working just fine. Tried on iPhone, AppleTV and LG WebOS.

if you only choose 1080p or 4k, does the receiver upscale everything to 1080p or 4k (based on content) for you?

Oh there is a a big yellow button in the email "Order Online" but there is also a phone number under the text that says "Don't have an online account? Create one now". I'll likely leave it be until the HR44 dies.

Right I would have used it in colocation mode with a short ethernet cable from the genie to it, putting the genie on wireless.

I clicked the link in the email for the free upgrade and on the computer it opens a new tab that closes right away. I copy the link and paste it in a new tab and it takes me to AT&T’s log in which I do and then I’m just at the account center. I tried clicking on the link in my iPhone and it...

I did CE when it was at the other site from 2010 to maybe 2016ish? Glad its still working out for you guys. Enjoy... I've taken time off to just have a stable platform since we just have one receiver now and the wife just asks for stability. I can appreciate a safe and staggered rollout...

Last night I checked and I have firmware 0x1ab8 dated Wed 7/10, on an HR44. I haven’t checked if the new menu came today or not. I don’t recall seeing any ads for it either, I’m in PA so not sure when the east coast gets the rollout.
