> It’s deeply unrealistic to expect customers to change their viewing habits and buy new devices for this.... People using Roku devices to watch HBO on a large television are not going to switch to a tablet or phone.
How do you know this? are there any statistics on this? Are you going to bring your Roku TV on the tube on the way to work? You can use your phone to watch HBO Max. I had no problem switching between my laptop and my iPad, I just did it today?
> “Just get another device” absolutely is not a feasible solution for most customers affected by this.
Well, it solved my problem, what is yours? because I don't see yelling at HBO to support 4% of a userbase a productive use of my time. I normally see people watching their devices anywhere they please, it isn't like they are shackled to Linux are they?
- mlthoughts2018 6y agoI don’t know where you’re getting this 4% number. Together Roku & Amazon Fire account for about 70% of the US streaming market, 5 million subscribers to HBO do so through Amazon Prime Video channels (that’s about 15% of total HBO subscribers). The customer base being affected is huge, and your comparison with Linux is totally off the mark.
