It is (and should be) the majority's norm.
The fact that you are in denial doesn't mean that OP stated 'his norm'. 60FPS is not a bonus nowadays, but the lower minimum. Once I registered also through my iPhone, it sent the confirmation email and now my A TV, computer, and iPhone are all allowed to watch. It's a fact about the state of gaming for a few years now.
That immediately caused all the other devices to work properly - I believe it used that as a confirmation that it was me logging in - for some reason just signing up with the Apple TV alone wasn't enough to confirm my subscriptions (I never received any registration confirmations when I tried to sign up on A TV, even though it did let me watch the free trial for about a day). (I did use an email that is registered with my iTunes account, so it knows that it's me, but it's just not the same one that I use to sign into iTunes). Cablevision doesnt say whether itll be offering HBO Now on day one, but it seems like a possibility. When I downloaded the app to my iPhone, it did prompt me to register and I entered a completely different email and password than my iTunes account. Theres a good chance HBO Now will be bundled with internet packages. With unlimited access to thousands of hours of entertainment, we've got something for everyone in your family. My Apple TV login actually stopped letting me have access after a day of the HBO trial (probably because I hadn't confirmed my email yet) so technically I was disconnected from that when I tried this solution as well - that could've made the difference. HBO Max is a premium streaming app that combines all of HBO with even more must-see TV series, blockbuster movies, and exclusive Max Originals. Gary, did you make sure to turn off the auto subscription in iTunes before doing this? You may also need to sign out of Apple TV.
