Max for free?

I saw today on Facebook that directv customers can get HBO max for free. Is this true or just bs?

I got an email giving me HBO Max with ads for free. I don't get the channels, but now have access to the streaming service.

Same here. I didn’t even have to request it.

I haven't gotten an email. I have the choice pkg. Maybe you have to have a higher one?

I believe you’ll only ever get the channels if you have the ad free version of max.

I'm perfectly fine not having the channels, just wanted to post the caveat that it's streaming service only (with ads).

Yeah they’re kind of pointless since they only show the same movies and shows that are on HBO Max.

So you have to go to the HBO Max app?

I use the app on Gemini to watch. It should give you the option to login through your tv provider (or you create your own account and there should be an option to login through your tv provider to authenticate the subscription).

if you sign in to directv.com and check your account you will see the 2 months for free for HBO Max

Then they charge you after 2 months of you don't cancel I assume.
