HBO Max activation problems

I can't activate the new HBO Max service, just the same as not being able to activate Discovery plus app

Why can't EE make it simple for those of us paying for a service!

 

I went to activate HBO, it went through the account and password check then just hangs ..  

 

I can watch live programs through the guide but the reason l renewed my contract was to get access to the app.

Surely it can't be that difficult, when l was with Talktalk l left them after having to change my TV to use the service, is this happening again?

 

Maybe should have gone Sky?

You can't activate the discovery+ and HBO Max apps because you already activated discovery+ just after midnight on March 3rd.  Your HBO Max account will have been automatically activated using the same account that you used for discovery+.

Try logging into discovery+ and HBO Max using your email address and take the option to use a one-time code.  If you don't see a subscription in there then I can reset the activations to allow you to activate again.

I have the same problem, and never got signed in to discovery either because it was never resolved.

@34Slip I've replied to the other thread you posted - your account is already activated, which is why it won't allow you to activate again.

Hi

Thanks for advising that,but it still wont allow me to sign in and set up the HBO Max account using the EE password
