HBO Max activation problems

[34Slip]

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?

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

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.

@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.

@34Slip I'll reply on the other thread to keep things clearer - please don't reply to this thread.
