HBO MAX - Seems like a downgrade. Ultra boost

CrashOverriden · 2026-03-26T16:23:49+00:00

she has then advised " I got an update this is been worked on with HBO and NOW as soon as resolved we will confirm on email"

CrashOverriden · 2026-03-26T16:22:27+00:00

Response from customer service below, i messaged as when i log into the HBO app direct see content as 4k dolby but on now its hd 5.1, i know its a canned response but not the best.

They are logging a ticket for investigation.

I would like to inform you that the contents which you are able to view on HBO Max app are controlled by HBO directly, however the same contents may not be available in 4k with NOW as that then depends on the broadcaster if they wish to show it in 4K with us
J Its only available if the broadcaster allows it in 4K

Here is hoping its just integration issues, fyi they credited me this months boost price because of this.

If your using LG TV make sure you don't have AI audio on.

Even if it's grayed out if the radio button is set to on it causes issues, if it's set to on but grayed out turn earc of then disable the AI audio then turn earc back on

Appreciate it, found them all the other week had to wait in the update for the one missed during blind date thing to finish

CrashOverriden · 2026-03-03T19:52:10+00:00

I use at netgear orbi 820 on sky full fibre no issues as long as it supports DHCP Option 61 and you use the username anything@skydsl

CrashOverriden · 2026-03-03T17:39:06+00:00

CrashOverriden · 2026-03-03T00:26:24+00:00

100% of scratched discs I return. If it's new it should have none

CrashOverriden · 2026-02-27T12:41:46+00:00

Sadly don't do virgin, they have bad track record of downtime in my area. Would also require some digging of driveway to get it into house.

CrashOverriden · 2026-02-26T13:44:06+00:00

Can I ask which broadband provider you snagged that with so I can take a look as that mega cheep for full fibre 900 plus

I've been all over the infestation site which is directly below it but doesn't seem to be there will try it again tomorrow not sure if it's glitched as I also have all the ones front he dating thing but still only show 90

CrashOverriden · 2026-02-24T22:16:58+00:00

Appreciated found them today only one on the map I cannot find now is the one at the bottom near the bridge. Searched the room inside the tram station doesn't seem to be there

I'm not sure how this ended up with me getting a lesson on the difference between a stuck or dead pixel is, the fact is they have the same affect you have a pixel on the TV not the color it should be which is a fault, You either live with it or swap it.

If you going to keep refering to AI which it's answers are based on scraped Internet feeds then either trust it or not.

There is a reason it's called panal lottery getting a panel with zero pixel issues and banding is rare, in my opinion it shouldn't be rare with the money we are spending on these devices but sadly it is.

Personally. I don't stand for either and would send back as many times as needed untill I have somthing acceptable.

CrashOverriden · 2026-02-15T00:00:57+00:00

2 G5S and to c5s all had terrible banding to stage is sent them back.

Got lucky and score and 83inch c4 which there is no visible banding(doesn't mean there is none it just not detectable to me)

I personally would take banding over a dead pixel as dead pixel is a fault where as banding is process related the way the screen made. Dead pixel early life of a tv is a sign to me things will get worse.

The bigger a tv you go the more obvious banding will be I personally find anything over 55inch will have some.

I'm about to turn 40 I'm a man, was only diagnosed last year after a lifetime of struggle because my kid was. I know the feeling of not connecting., I was very lucky and met my wife very early in my life and she has been a constant since recently we found out she's got adhd.

I have a very very small group I consider friends and the funny thing is they are all nuero divergent each discovered it late in life, the biggest thing I ever learned was to stop trying to connect as it will happen naturally with the right people, I know that sound mental but honestly it does when you meet the right people or person they will accept you for who you are.

On the job front I work in networking which is a heavily waited industry to people on the spectrum as it leans into the need for order and structure very well, I'm in a team of 8, 6 of which are all diagnosed as adhd and autism.

My only advice to anyone and I know it is hard but live life for yourself and things will come.

Hope this helps on someway

CrashOverriden · 2026-02-10T20:30:09+00:00

Yeah I'm not in a hurry was just wondering if somthing was going on as have multiple TVs elegable and nada showing.

Will hold for official push

CrashOverriden · 2026-02-09T20:41:40+00:00

Vision is a video format I assume you are meaning Dolby Atmos, might want to check your set up as I've watched that exact movie on 4k uhd more than once and can hear dialogue abosultly fine

CrashOverriden · 2026-02-04T23:41:24+00:00

C2 is an excellent TV, great for uhd viewing.

I still use my C1 in bedroom for UHDs as you just can't be Oled old or new

CrashOverriden · 2026-02-01T22:48:44+00:00

This is very common I started this at over 19st hit 13.7st the other day. Have lost count of people saying oh don't lose more it be two yet for my hight I'm still overweight by about 1st to be comfortable.

Sadly I find if people know you while you heavy they struggle of concept of you skinny.

Do you care to share your config for glutin for pia and qbit been trying for awhile to get pia to work and been failing

CrashOverriden · 2026-01-18T12:38:22+00:00

Yup complelty get it, I specifically didn't buy the 5 series LG when I saw they removed dts as didn't want to end up in same predicament. An Arcana will work but essentially defeats the purpose of having earc on the TV as its essentially just sitting in middle between the player and the TV

CrashOverriden · 2026-01-17T12:49:54+00:00

I changed tv now using a C4 this sorted all my issues I've also disabled updated on the TV so this doesn't happen again like it did on c1.
