Re: How do I access HBO Max content on a Sky+ HD box.....?

When I go to catchup on Skygo, I click on HBO on the left, and it says "there are currently no programmes of this type available" and since I connected my sky box to the internet, On demand has disappeared 😶

Significant increase in the amount of content available.

There are now 1,299 tiles within HBO Max. 

24 hours ago there were 1,059.

(The downside of this is that it takes even longer to scroll through them all)

@DaveGEllis HBO Max content is available via On Demand. There's no channel.

@DaveGEllis 

If you go to the catchupup tile from

tje homepage then you will see HBOMax listed Dow tje left hand side. 

There is no easy way to find anything other than scrolling.

Re: How do I access HBO Max content on a Sky+ HD box.....?

I have sky hd+ and I managed to download all 15 episodes of The Pitt this morning. I went into catch up and the selected hbo max. Unfortunately I then had to spend sometime paging through all the shows that are in alphabetical order before getting to those beginning with P and finding the Pitt. As a result I was able to download all episodes. Very clunky but got there!

@JRoberts07 there's no point or value in activating HBO Max on Sky+ boxes (the forum ypu've posted in).

The Pitt is now appearing under HBO Max section of the catchup TV.

I have just scrolled down through all of the HOB Max programs and the Pitt is now listed and available for download. I have the old Sky+ box.

To access content on HBO Max using a Sky+ box you have to download that content. The information on the basic HBO package only allows 15 downloads a month. Does anyone know if this limits the number of downloads you can make on a Sky + box or does it only apply to the users of the HBO Max app who would normally access content by streaming?

It won't apply to downloads on your Sky+HD Box

Good that The Pitt is now available. 

 

But why on earth is the search and navigation tools around the HBO and Paramount content so terrible? Sky is just so bad at this stuff. Even in the Sport - their USP - their optionality is so cumbersome and retrograde.

@Phomes Sky Plus is obsolete and was not designed for this new content, I guess if it annoys people that much it will encourage them to upgrade 🙂
