Frequently Asked Questions
Playback failures may be caused by content delivery issues, device compatibility problems, or account verification challenges. Try restarting the HBO Max app completely, check if your device's operating system meets the minimum requirements, and verify your account subscription is active without payment issues.
Streaming quality issues can result from bandwidth limitations, network congestion, or adaptive streaming constraints. Verify your internet connection meets HBO Max's recommended speed (at least 5 Mbps for HD and 25 Mbps for 4K content), try reducing the number of devices using your network simultaneously, and check if connecting via ethernet instead of WiFi improves stability.
Login issues may be caused by credential problems, authentication service disruptions, or provider verification failures. Verify your login credentials are correct, check if you need to sign in through a TV provider if you subscribe through cable, and try the password reset option if persistent issues occur.
Specific error codes typically indicate connection issues, device compatibility problems, or account verification challenges. Error 100 often relates to connectivity problems, while 300-series errors may indicate account or authorization issues. Try restarting your device, checking for app updates, and confirming your subscription status is active.
App stability issues can stem from outdated versions, device resource limitations, or corrupted cache data. Update the HBO Max app to the latest version, restart your device to free up system resources, and clear the app's cache through your device settings menu (location varies by device type).
Download functionality issues may be caused by storage limitations, connectivity problems, or content restrictions. Verify you have sufficient storage space on your device, check if you're connected to WiFi as many streaming apps restrict downloads to WiFi connections, and be aware that not all HBO Max content is available for download due to licensing restrictions.
Audio synchronization problems can result from processing delays, device compatibility issues, or streaming interruptions. Try completely closing and reopening the HBO Max app, check if your device's audio outputs are correctly configured, and consider adjusting any audio settings on your device that might cause processing delays.
Regional restriction errors typically indicate geographical limitations, VPN detection, or service availability boundaries. HBO Max has different content libraries available in different countries due to licensing agreements. If you're traveling, this is expected behavior, but if you're in your home country, check if you're using a VPN which might make HBO Max think you're in a different region.
