HBO Max streaming scheduling issue & not granting access to Sports Documentaries

Tonght the live streaming on HBO Max of TNT Sports coverage of Serie A  Inter  v Roma  did not provide coverage on the HBO Max streaming platform of  the start of the match  - I believe the actual KO of the game was 7:45pm BST.  the opening quarter of an hour was not provided on the HBO MAX service.

The TNT Sports presenters covering the overrunning FA Cup coverage on TNT Sports 1 advided viewers wanting to watch  the start of the Serie A Game to watch the stream on HBO Max.- ie the coverage on TNT Sports linear TV channels would continue with FA Cup draw and reaction and provide coverage later of the Serie A game.

Unclear whether  it is a TNT Sports  or HBO Max problem but they need to do better.

HBO MaxHBO MaxCurrently  the HBO MAX app is not granting access to many of the Sports Documentaries for TNT Sports - so apps TNT section lists many but does not allow most to play with Sport subscription.

I believe someone has merged two topics presumably to group HBO Max issues together.

I have no problem with that occurring, but it would’ve been sensible to change the title of the thread

So the first issue was the streaming  Feed for the Italian football either not being provided or not being made accessible on the HBO Max app. Only a later feed once the TNT Sports one linear channel had started to broadcast partway through the match was made available.

The second issue relates to the unavailability of sports documentaries To TNT Sports subscribers in the HBO Max app.

I speculate that this might be because some content in HBO Max like sports documentaries actually forms part of the content  for subscriptions both to the TNT Sports and the basic or standard HBO Max subscriptions. So probably a data issue.
