I have seen or heard nothing about that from Max BUT Netflix is dropping support for all, older NON-4k Apple tvs in July. I would imagine most streamers will eventually follow suit.
I went back and checked why I did not do the BF deal...it waw $59.99 WITH ads. The present deal is the one had until I let it run out in Feb '24. I did call to see if I could get the same deal and was told No. It was just a lucky "thought" that came into mind to check it out.
If anyone is interested, P+ is offering the Essential (+Showtime and no ads) 1/2 off for 1 year ($59.99), as good or better than their Black Friday deal, which I passed on. I jumped on this one.
I agree with the Directv consolidation. Just have the support forum, and Cutting Edge under it. Also, you could easily just have one Rabbit Ears forum.
