There is no doubt that “The Dragon’s House” was one of the most anticipated series of the year. The “Game of Thrones” prequel arrived on HBO Max this Sunday, August 21 in the United States (in Spain available the next morning) and the desire to see it was so great that the HBO Max app has fallen in that country for many subscribers.
The incident occurred around 9pm on the east coast (3am in Spain), when the first episode premiered. Some users turned to social networks to warn that the chapter was available on the platform a few minutes before the scheduled premiere, and from there, a good number of viewers began to report problems with access to viewing the episode. Because of this, the @HBOMaxHelp customer service Twitter account saw an increase in mentions seeking support.
According to some users, while trying to access the episode, titled “The Heirs of the Dragon”, an error message appeared that said “Title not available”, while others blocked the app several times while trying to play the chapter. In a release via Deadline, HBO Max confirmed that, in fact, the access problems on Sunday evening were due to the increase in traffic on the streaming service due to the highly anticipated premiere, clarifying that the incidence was limited and linked to the use of the Fire TV streaming device.
“‘The House of the Dragon’ was successfully viewed by millions of HBO Max subscribers tonight. We are aware that a small percentage of users attempting to connect via Fire TV devices are experiencing issues and are addressing the issues for affected users. “.
The problem was fixed and the episode was finally enjoyed by HBO Max viewers. In Spain, despite the enormous anticipation surrounding the episode, no reproduction problems have been reported for nowOf course, we have to keep in mind that in our country the premiere was at 9 in the morning, so we will have to see how the app behaves during the early evening.
