Get back to your favorite movies and shows

HBO Max is a fantastic streaming service with some of the best programming out there (Friends, anyone?), but it’s not without its flaws. Streaming sometimes decides to buffer infinitely or pause halfway through an episode, never to resume.

The good news is that you can fix these issues. They could be your internet connection, version of the HBO Max app, or something else, but with a few quick fixes you can get back to watching your favorite shows without interruption.

The first thing you need to do is check if HBO Max is working. The easiest way to do this is by using DownDetector. Simply type HBO Max into the search bar. The results page will tell you if anyone is having problems with HBO Max. If it looks like the HBO Max servers are down, you can report where they are coming from.
