  • Edit #1 - Some users are reporting additional charges/taxes to their cards which are not quoted at checkout. I signed up a while back on a monthly plan and haven’t had any additional charges/taxes. It may be worth trying some other Latin-American countries via VPN for a price comparison.

  • Edit #2 - As reported by another user, it turns out there is now a 65% Tax On Online Purchases in Argentina as per this website reports - https://davescomputertips.com/argentina-imposes-65-tax-on-on…
    I have connected to a number of other Latin-American countries via VPN for a price comparison but they all work out approx. $69 AUD for the year.
    Apologies if the deal is not as good as I originally thought, it was posted with the best intentions.
    1 month = $7.94 AUD approx.
    12 months = $69.20 AUD approx.

The above gets you compatibility with all devices, use 3 devices at a once, High definition and 4K, Up to 30 downloads, 5 user profiles

1) Use a VPN to connect to an Argentinian server (I used Windscribe with no issues)

2) Open an incognito browser window.

3) If page is displayed in Spanish, change language to English at the bottom of the page next to the following text :

Política de Privacidad - Términos de Uso -  Información -  **Español (Latinoamericano)**

4) Create Account

5) Verify account email

6) Enter payment details, I suggest paying with a card that has no foreign exchange fees - (I used Macquarie Debit with no issues)

7) Enjoy!

Library content will depend on VPN used when watching, I use a smart DNS (DNS4ME) to view USA library, it doesn't matter which region was used to sign up.

    Most of the HBO content is on Binge anyway I think, could be wrong though.

      HBO Max offers 4K streaming, Binge does not, that's probably the biggest selling point of this deal to many.

            @Ilikecars: It's a business practice that successive conservative governments have supported, endorsed and encouraged.

            But yes.. it's not business practice anyone should rationally get behind.

      Yes, but it's Binge… aka Streamotion aka Foxtel aka News Corp aka Murdoch.

      Hard pass. I'd rather pay for HBO Max at full price than give Murdoch a single cent.

      HBO Max has so much more content than Binge and if you set the region to the US, sometimes Warner/DC movies are launched in 4k on streaming at the same time they are released on cinemas.

      • philsw on 01/04/2022 - 19:34

        • OrderedChaos on 01/04/2022 - 18:27

          I'm using Surfshark and it works perfectly if viewing using the HBO app. The HBO website is a PITA. It doesn't work. All sorts of random issues.

          I have the HBO app running on Google TV. HBO is on the Whitelist so it and a few others are redirected via the VPN. The rest of the apps bypass the VPN.

          Viewing performance via Surfshark is perfect. No issues with lag or lowered resolution. The HBO app is pretty darn sluggish tho. Seems like it's an HBO thing.

      Using a smart DNS, you will also need to create an Apple ID based in the US then you can download the HBO Max app. I use DNS4Me.net they have loads of setup guides on there - https://dns4me.net/Guides/

      • hen dawg on 01/04/2022 - 16:38

        Are DNS4ME pretty reliable with the USA Netflix? Seem like many services struggle for it to keep working. They're website doesn't really even metion Neflix

          The website is pretty basic but I find their service very good in general. It’s 2 Aussie guys that run it and they’re pretty active on WP - https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/9xl16jy9

          I still think you can get a weeks free trial so see what you think.

      1. Download an app like Sudo on iPhone to get a US virtual number. Then create US Apple ID using same number.

      2. Login on Apple TV as a secondary account using above Apple ID.

      3. Download HBO Max app using that ID.

      4. Set up DNS on Apple TV

      5. Grab popcorn

      • Chippy47 on 01/04/2022 - 14:44

        Also, you can setup within the iTunes app on Windows 10 and you don't need to a payment method and you can use your own personal number just set your address to US.

      • Klang on 01/04/2022 - 14:58

      You wouldn't download a car.

      Though in all seriousness. These companies are making it awfully hard. Not to mention annoying. That some people are resorting to just pirating it all.

            @Pricebeat: These streaming platforms offer an unparalleled convenience factor which is why I'm contemplating getting this. At ~$40 it's pretty good value to be able to open an app and see if there's anything you want to chill out to. Plus it also lets you play something you may not have thought of. That's the issue with downloading versus streaming..downloading, you know what you are looking for. I think I'm just convincing myself to buy this subscription tbh lol

                @Pricebeat:

                An anecdotal viewpoint at best.

                then take some time to download

                Considering NBN is how most are connected these days, "time" is really not an issue. I can download a full movie in the time it takes me to make a coffee or some popcorn.

                Then when you are done and start watching after plugging in all your devices

                What are "all" these devices you speak of? It's either a flash drive, hard drive or possibly being streamed directly to your TV via Plex (or something similar).

                you decide you don’t like it

                Most people who download are likely doing so with the intent to watch something specifically.

                Of all the things you've just mentioned in defence of a subscription, this one takes the cake:

                you decide you don’t like it

                So, you've just paid for a subscription for content that you don't like… Happy days, huh?

                it takes maybe 5 minutes for me to change my mind and decide to watch something else. If I did that with downloading, I would end up procrastinating and not watching anything

                  In the meantime I can checkout a few shows and if I already know what I want to watch, then I am already a few minutes into watching it. Not worrying about whether the quality, subtitles or the audio would match.

                  What are "all" these devices you speak of? It's either a flash drive, hard drive or possibly being streamed directly to your TV via Plex (or something similar).

                  Those are the devices that I am talking about.

                  Most people who download are likely doing so with the intent to watch something specifically.

                  Having intent to watch something and actually liking it to finish it all are two different things.

                  So, you've just paid for a subscription for content that you don't like… Happy days, huh?

                  I didn’t say I don’t like every single show on something that I paid. Please feel free to remind if I did.

                  Not everyone is as frequently fickle as you appear to be.

                  Not if you are downloading, it would be limiting and time wasting if you choose to do so every five minutes.
