Entertainment! Entertainment! Entertainment! This is what every person wants in their free time. Often after working hard and spending hours of their day working in their office, people need some refreshment.
And for this refreshment, some people try outings on hill stations or at some tourist places where they can have their me time and get refreshed. But not every time is it possible to go on a tour, so most people choose the digital medium of getting relaxed.
And this relaxation method is Entertainment, for which people often choose to watch movies and web series that help them refresh their minds and rejuvenate. People often prefer to sit in front of their TV sets, to watch their favourite shows and movies, after working hours and on weekends.
OTT Platforms
Today, apart from cable TV, there are many options through which people can get Entertainment. OTT platforms are one of those, and there are several OTT platforms and digital channels that serve their consumers with high-quality Entertainment. Some of the leading OTT platforms and digital channels are Netflix, Prime, Disney Plus Hotstar, HBO Max, etc. These digital platforms have various shows and movies catering to people’s entertainment needs.
In this article, we are going to explore one of these platforms, HBO Max. HBO Max is an SVOD (Subscription Video on Demand) service owned by Warner Bros and Discovery. The HBO max streaming service was launched in May 2020, and since then, HBO Max has been entertaining its viewers with the best shows and movies streaming on the platform with the best quality.
HBO Max TV
HBO Max is a digital streaming platform which Warner Bros and Discovery own in a joint venture. HBO was only a TV channel earlier, but it is still telecast in various regions of the world.
The HBO TV channel streams Hollywood movies on TV, which has a grand audience all over the world. During the evolution of the OTT platforms, HBO too decided to enter the digital platforms, and their TV channel later evolved as one of the prominent OTT platforms.
The Vast Content Empire
The vast content empire from the leading media companies like AT & T, Warner Media- HBO, Warner Bros, New Line Cinema, DC Entertainment, TBS, Cartoon Network, etc. were converted into a single streaming service through HBO Max, which gives it a reputation of one of the best streaming services that have the collection of the best movies and shows to watch.
This has already made more people to subscribe to this newly launched digital platform. It was earlier available on PlayStation 4 and some other devices with an update of the HBO Now app, but since it was not ample for the growth of this digital platform, later, HBO Max was also available on smart TV, smartphones and through computers, which gave them a worldwide exposure to connect with new consumers.
How to Sign-in on HBO Max?
Though the HBO Max service is not available to stream through a cable service provider directly on the TV, you can sign in through the HBO Max website through any of your desktop browsers by paying the subscription fees.
Once you enter the HBO Max website, you will receive a six-digit code on your registered email Id or mobile number you entered while signing up on the platform. Once entering the six-digit code on your device, you will need to create an account on the HBO Max platform, which will help you to stream on other devices too.
After you enter the credentials, you will be taken to the page where you need to fill in your details and click on the ‘create’, and there you go, your HBO max account is created. Once you have logged into your HBO Max account, then click on the ‘account’ and then go to the ‘set password’ option and create a new password for your digital account.
Once the password is set for your HBO Max account, you are all set to use these credentials to log in on any device to stream the best movies and shows on the HBO Max streaming platform. HBO Max can be streamed from Computers, Mobiles, and Smart TVs, where you can take the liberty of streaming high-quality videos that are live on this digital platform.
Though HBO Max is a high-quality video streaming platform which has the best movies and shows to watch, it still has comparatively fewer subscribers than other platforms like Netflix, Prime, Disney Plus, etc., and the sole reason for this is the cost factor.
HBO Max subscription
The HBO Max subscription is considered one of the most expensive digital platforms, costing around USD 14.99 per month, which is way too expensive for people to spend on a monthly basis. This is the only reason why HBO Max is not on the list of top OTT platforms currently.
The fact is that HBO Max is competing with the major players in the industries like Netflix, Prime, Disney Plus Hotstar, etc., and when you compare the subscription prices of these OTT platforms with HBO Max, you will find that all these digital platforms are available with a minimal subscription fee of USD 2.3 per month. This is why such platforms have a huge number of subscribers all over the world.
It is another fact that HBO Max has the best movies and shows to stream, but the price it comes with is just unacceptable to the common people who want to spend their leisure time watching their favourite movies and shows.
Conclusion
So, coming to a conclusion, we can say that HBO Max does have some great shows and movies to stream, but it lacks behind other streaming platforms only because of the pricing model it has, which eventually leads it to have fewer subscribers. Even after such a high price, HBO Max attracted a substantial number of subscribers in America, the UK and some European countries. Considering the increased popularity of such OTT platforms, it is pretty evident that, in the near future, HBO Max will also be one of the top digital subscribers, with the most number of subscribers joining the platform.
