HBOMax streaming stopped working - "Your HBOMax subscription through Xfinity has expired."

HBOMax streaming no longer works.

I have subscribed to HBOMax through my Xfinity account for about a year. I have a Tivo with a Xfinity cable card, and can see HBO on cable no problem, my bill is current and paid, I haven't canceled HBO. Last year I also used the HBOMax app on my AppleTV box to stream HBO shows, no problem, and even did it this fall, up until a month ago. Now I can no longer stream using the HBOMax app on my AppleTV, although I can see HBO on cable (my latest bill still shows a current HBO).

I signed out on my AppleTV, and and when I try and sign in to the HBOMax app on my Tivo, it asks "are you a subscriber through another provider?"

When I answer yes, I select "Xfinity" as my provider, then it asks me to sign in to my Xfinity account, which I do. Then it takes me to a page on the Xfinity web site that tells me about HBO, asks me if I want to subscribe, etc. No place to acknowledge I am already subscribed through Xfinity, even though I can look at my account and see that I am. No way to return to the HBOMax app, and no way to see HBO content.

Same thing when I try to sign in to HBOMax on the web my computer - signing in through provider takes me to a Xfinity web page that trys to sell me HBOMax - even though I am logged in and can see I already subscribed to it.

At one point in frustration I created a HBOMax account, so there I also can sign in. If I choose to sign in to HBOMax directly (ignoring the "sign in with a provider" option), on my AppleTV or on my computer, I can sign in but it says my HBOMax subscription through Xfinity has expired.

How can I get this to work again? My guess is Xfinity needs to send my subscription info to HBO, although why they lost it is beyond me.

Hello, @user_c4ebfe. We will get to the bottom of this! Are you able to watch HBO Max on any devices such as a cable box, a cell phone, or a PC? Do you see the same your HBO subscription through Xfinity has expired message?

Hey there, @Teamking14

 

I know this thread is a bit older, but in regard to your specific issue, it could be the upcoming application switch to Max from HBO max, you would still be able to log into to watch it, however. Have you tried on any other devices? Like a smart phone?
