Warner Bros. Discovery has confirmed that its streaming service Max will launch in seven territories in Southeast Asia next month. From Nov. 19, it will be available in Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand as well as Taiwan and Hong Kong.

Max will offer a choice of different plans. Full details about pricing will be announced in the coming weeks and will vary by country and provider. Mobile-only plans will be available in Indonesia and the Philippines, and via select providers in Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines and Thailand.

For Netflix as long as the people are under one roof, you don't have to pay extra. If they are from two different houses - with two different IP addresses - then you need to pay.

So if you share your network and Netflix with your neighbor, no need to pay extra.

Just read the new price for streaming services, unless you take ultimate max or pro you still pay same as normal subscription

Are you talking about Unifi TV packages?

If you take the Ultimate Max plan, the Netflix plan they give you is Standard, which is HD and two screens. If you take the Ultimate Plus plan, the Netflix plan they give you is Basic, which is HD and one screen. Neither of these plans will give you 4K Netflix, Disney and Max, unless you top up the extra money.

Not really. There is a workaround for a second home, provided you travel to the second home at least once per month.

Not talking about that. Talking about people who password shares or parents with kids (or vise versa) who shares an account. If they live in two household consistently, you need to pay else you'd be hassled by the app for the code.
But it seems like Unifi doesn't offer Max as ala carte? Where did you see that?

Call Unifi's customer service. They can give you the info.

So anybody subscribed to Ultimate?

1) Are movies presented in their correct aspect ratio? 1.85 and 2.39 vs 1.78?
2) Are Warner movies mostly available in 4K and 5.1 at least?
3) Are recent HBO originals (like TLOU) in 4K and 5.1?
4) Is CNN included?

Thanks for the quick reply. I expect there would be content differences between US and world version. I guess there'd be no censorship on content?

By the way, CNN is included in Max USA as a Beta program.

Warrior is missing.

Content licensing leads to shuffling.

Warrior is currently on Netflix in 4K.

Prior to this year, HBO/Warner's content could only be found on Max. Now they are actively licensing them out. So since Netflix wants Warrior and perhaps exclusively, Max can't have it. I think it's the same situation with Friends. For years it was on Netflix. Then when Max launched, Warner pulled it from Netflix US but internationally available on Netflix. Now they pulled it back to Max and probably to hype out the 4K remastering of Friends.

So content comes and go. But so far, Netflix content has yet to go elsewhere.
