Now that the fall is here, that means it is time for the nights of staying inside from the cool weather, get that warm beverage and watch some movies and TV shows.
Starting on Thursday, September 23, YouTube TV subscribers will be able to get a free five-day preview of Cinemax and HBO Max. The two services are available to be added on with a customer’s subscription to YouTube TV as well.
Both Cinemax and HBO will have their live channels available to stream on YouTube TV as well.
When it comes to the on-demand content from both Cinemax and HBO Max, that will all be done through the YouTube TV interface. However, this will not include all HBO Originals or any new theatrical releases on HBO Max, as those are only available through the HBO Max app and that will not be available for YouTube TV users to sign into during the free preview.
The other good news for YouTube TV subscribers is they will not have to cancel anything after the free preview is over. Both channels and services will simply vanish from availability on YouTube TV.
After the free preview is over, HBO Max costs an additional $14.99 a month and Cinemax costs an added $9.99 a month through YouTube TV. Both services can be subscribed for the same prices outside of YouTube TV, including Cinemax through Apple TV Channels in the Apple TV app for the same price per month.
YouTube TV costs $64.99 a month and is available to stream on the iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, Apple TV and Mac.
