How HBO Max is different from HBO Go and HBO Now

HBO Max is entering the streaming wars. So how do you get it, exactly, and what's the difference between this and HBO's other services? HBO Max, which officially launched in the U.S. on Wednesday, is the new WarnerMedia streaming service, and it includes content from the company's library of movies and shows of which HBO programming is just a part. There's everything from The Big Bang Theory and Friends to films that aren't on the regular version of HBO, as well as original content that's exclusive to Max, including new Sesame Street and Looney Tunes shows (and, starting next year, the infamous Snyder cut of Justice League). There are confusingly now three separate services called HBO Go, HBO Now, and HBO Max. As HBO clarifies, HBO Go is the streaming service that comes with a subscription to HBO through a TV package. HBO Now, on the other hand, is an HBO streaming service that doesn't require a cable subscription. Then there's HBO Max, which includes everything you'd normally get with an HBO subscription, plus…

Editor's note: SEC Network lead anchor Dari Nowkhah, a Tulsa native and OU graduate, tells The Oklahoman why he loves sports. When I was 4, I didn’t watch cartoons in the morning. I watched replays of games on ESPN. Who wanted to listen to Smurfette when you could listen to Dick Enberg? I didn’t watch a single Star Wars movie until 10 years ago. I had no interest. In elementary school, when my friends would talk about Han Solo, Chewbacca and Luke Skywalker, I nodded my head like I knew what they were talking about. I had no clue. But I could tell you the starting quarterback for every Canadian Football League team. For some reason, I loved those BC Lions.

Get ready to watch (and hear) sports in an entirely different way

Watching live sports on TV without fans is like a ballpark frank without mustard. You need the cheers after a great play and the boos from the disappointed home fans. You need that obnoxious fan behind the visitor’s bench or the fan holding a clever sign. Fans are integral to watching sports. Or are they? As leagues look to return during the coronavirus pandemic, fans won’t be in attendance at least at the start, and that will be strange. But we’re living in strange times. How will sports look, sound and feel on TV in the U.S. when play resumes? A few clues can be found from baseball in South Korea and soccer in Germany.
