What’s going on with Cinemax?

Starting last week (I think), Cinemax renumbered their On Demand link to a different channel number than Cinemax East (307 vs 306). All other premiums have their On Demand link sharing the first premium group’s channel number).

You wont ever be able to record them, as you can Stream them On Demand with the HBO Max app, or on the Hopper.

But Scott said they were working on allowing the other Fast Channels ( 90) to be recorded. That would be cool.
