Streaming HBO Max on series X issue

Whilst HBO Max is available in Romania, it seems the HBO Max App is not:

https://www.microsoft.com/ro-ro/p/hbo-max/

Strange as it should be available:

"HBO Max will be available on leading devices and platforms, including smart TVs (Samsung, LG and Android TV™), via streaming devices (Apple TV 4K and Google Chromecast™), game consoles (PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S) mobile and tablets (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, and Android™), and online at http://www.hbomax.com. HBO Max will also be available through selected TV distribution partners."

It was supposed to be released on 8th March.

Warner confirms this with their press release:

However, I have seen people unable to find the app via a PS4 so maybe the app release has been delayed/scheduled for later?

Yes but as mentioned you will have issues

It upscales not native

Only the xbox one x and series x are 4k native

The reason why smart delivery compresses files because of the CPU and GPU power and storage limitations

True 4k vs 1440p

Most.games will.only run 1080p max on series s

It will do less CPU intensive stuff like 4k streaming

Series x does 4k 60hx with possible 120hz (dropped fps )

Xbox one x does only 4k 30hz

Could you perhaps explain that to WarnerMedia? the company who own HBO Max:

"The 15 countries are: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Moldova, Montenegro, Netherlands, North Macedonia, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia and Slovenia. HBO Max is currently live in 46 territories across the Americas and Europe"

"game consoles (PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S)"

There was nothing in their press release to say that Romania would be excluded because they aren't in an Xbox Live region. If Romania were excluded from everything, then why does the MS Store allow for a Romania region change?

What resolution are you trying to run at

If 4k 120 Hz then no it won't run at thaf

The max for series s is 1440p at 120hz

It will play at 4k bur only some games and with issues

The series s is meant for 1080p 120 max

With suggested 90hz

The xbox series x and ps5 and switch pro are the only 4k consoles

One x does 4k at 30hz and ps4 pro upscales

I was having this same exact issue. With Netflix and HBO GO. I switched to a wired connection and it seemed to help the issue. HOWEVER... I still get stuttering video when streaming from HBO GO. Has there been an official fix for this?
