(HBO) Max subscription - HDR? Dolby Atmos?

Hello Elcastillodecampbell, we're here to help you with your sound inquiry with Max.

AT&T customers will continue to have access to 4K and 2 consecutive streams in their grandfathered plans until a date yet to be determined. Eligible AT&T customers are not currently in the Max AD-Free or Max Ultimate Ad-Free plan they are in a grandfathered version.

Customers will still have access to their original HBO Max plan feature for a minimum of six months following the launch of Max.

Let us know if this helps. Reach back out to us if you have any other questions.

Jeff, AT&T Community Specialist

This is not true. Support keeps posting this in public, but in PM they clearly say "The Ad-free plan that you have doesn't come with 4K channels"

ok, thanks for the info.  I hope that somehow this gets worked out so that I can still make use of this perk and perhaps pay additional to upgrade to the better stream,  Its a nice perk to have from AT&T right now, and I enjoy the programming.  

Ultimately though, I will want 4K/HDR/Atmos content, and I won't be content with a basic offering.  At that point this becomes a 'perk' that is of no value to me.  I would be willing to 'kick in' additional cost to have the better stream.  

I hope this won't force me into walking away from this and re-subscribing just to make it work out for my situation, I have to say that right now it feels like this might be the case.  

I feel the same way. Other providers such as TMobile offer complementary Netflix Basic with the ability to pay extra for the 4K level. This seems like a significant oversight.
