Can anyone help me find an episode of Whose Line Is It Anyway? Can anyone help me find an episode of Whose Line Is It Anyway?
Question

Ok so after ten seconds of googling to find the Richard Simmons (RIP 😔) episode I come up with episode 521. On MAX app on fire stick, episode listed as 521 is not the correct one. Also, the episode numbers jump around, and the 4th performer in the group shown in the episode pic is not always the one on the show. Anyone else seeing this?


Does Dolby Atmos work correctly in HBOMAX for 7.1.4 setup? Does Dolby Atmos work correctly in HBOMAX for 7.1.4 setup?
Question

Hi.

I have a few questions, because I don't fully understand a few things.

In HBO MAX I can see that for example Game of Thrones supports Dolby Atmos, but does it mean that it will be working correctly regardless if I have 5.0, 5.1.2, 7.1 or 7.1.4 speakers setup with amplituner?

If I understand correctly, Dolby Atmos supports up to 128 speakers and amplituner distributes sound to proper speakers to simulate the effect of playing sound in the specific point in the air, so it seems that it should work correctly on any of the setups, including the 7.1.4, unless HBO movies or site has any limitations that for example only 5.1 or 7.1 is possible, but 7.1.4 is not. Do you know something about it? How can I be sure that 7.1.4 will be working fine for HBO's movies?




My mom pays too much for cable what should I recommend to her? My mom pays too much for cable what should I recommend to her?
Question

My mom pays $150 a month for some Xfinity cable plan; I don’t pay for cable or streaming services but it kinda sounds like a rip off. She has a smart TV now, and I want to recommend her a cheaper streaming service that also has live TV. What channels does HBO Max offer? Is there anything like HBO max that also offers live channels so she doesn’t always have to sit there and pick out a show?? Please help!






Doctor Who removed from Max suddenly Doctor Who removed from Max suddenly
Question

Went to go watch the Season 7 finale at 8:30 am EST (I live in Taiwan, so that my PM) and all of a sudden its gone from any searches, my list, or continue watching. There is still a page on google to watch Dr Who on Max, but when I clicked it it says that the content is not available.

Anyone know what happened, and why so suddenly? A little frustrated bc this is my wife's first time watching the series, and it went missing, but also just confused.
