Problems with HBO Max on Apple TV (but a fix is ​​coming)

There are some issues with HBO Max on Apple TV. But don’t worry: the streaming service is currently working on a fix!

Problems with HBO Max on Apple TV

There are serious problems with HBO Max on Apple TV. It occurs on any version of the Apple TV 4k with tvOS 16.1. Users who have installed the most recent version of the HBO Max app on their Apple TV (52.50.1 as of November 16) are experiencing the issues.

Some users only have issues playing some series or movies. They are lucky, because several Apple TV owners indicate that they can no longer play content from HBO Max at all.

Even when you start a movie or series, the problem can still appear. When you pause the stream for a while, you will see the error message again. There is then no other option than to completely exit the app and restart the series or film.

There is no real solution yet

There is no solution yet, but some users indicate that closing the app completely, logging in again or restarting the Apple TV (temporarily) fixes the problem. Fortunately, HBO Max has already indicated that they are currently working on a solution for the problems on the Apple TV.

HBO Max itself also gives a number of possible solutions. For example, turning off HDR is a fix that you can try. They also state that changing the playback resolution from 4K to 1080p (or 720p) can fix the problem.

Streaming service HBO Max: this is it

Despite the current issues, what’s on offer on HBO Max is quite impressive. In addition to popular series such as House of the Dragon and Rick & Morty, there are also golden oldies such as Sex in the City and Friends.

The cheapest subscription to HBO Max costs 5.99 euros, but you only get to see films and series in 720p (HD-ready) and that on one screen at a time. For HD (1080p) and 4K content you have to pay 7.99 euros per month. With this more expensive subscription you can watch on three screens at the same time.
