Is anyone here subscribed to HBO Go?

I am thinking about ditching Netflix for HBO Go, but I have several questions that I couldn't find answers for in https://www.hbogoasia.my

Hoping other sifus here can help enlighten me.

1. How's the quality? Is 4K + HDR10/Dolby Vision available?
2. Is everything from HBO Max available in HBO Go, or is it limited?
3. Are the contents completely uncensored and managed by HBO? Or does it go through Astro replete with shit quality compression and censorship?

Thank you. thumbup.gif

1. 1080p only, 4k/dv only with MAX
2. Almost all.
3. I believe so, recently compared a scene and it’s not cut. Probably someone else could clarify this

Well, this is a dealbreaker for me sad.gif

Thanks for confirming.

All the other available streaming services (e.g. Disney Hotstar, Apple TV+) in Malaysia don't offer enough interesting content to warrant switching from Netflix.

Yeah... sailing the seven seas with Disney+ and HBO Max, but only for the shows that do not have a physical release. I delete the files once I buy the discs.

I don't mind paying a premium so long as the quality of the service is up to par. But 1080p only is inexcusable in this day and age.

i hv brought this up in unifitv thread:
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4726997/+6960

some say they get it crispy; some sure it's 1080p.

it's the poorest of all the VOD apps in terms of PQ.

even HBO linear channels are better than HBOGo.

they really shudn't be selling this lousy product in 2023. shakehead.gif

Nice!

Hopefully the price is competitive, and can compare against the variety of offerings in Netflix

finally, didn't watch lots of new movies/series there due to the crappy 720p stereo quality

it's hard to swallow after you've been pampered with 4K Dolby qualities from Netflix, Disney+ and Prime

I wonder what's the difference. It is just a rebranding or are we going to get extra content that is not currently available on HBO Go.
