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

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.

Nice!

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

Will stick with Netflix... not compelling enough to make the switch, and a lot of WB content is already back in Netflix anyway
