HBO - it's changed#1

I was wondering if anyone here has more information than what I see has happened. I used to check the five HBO channels for something to watch. If I couldn't  find anything there, I'd check HBO movies on demand. There were always plenty of good films to choose from.

Now, since Time Warner is Spectrum, HBO is no longer listing good films and when I check their On Demand, the layout of the screen is just like Netflix, and I hardly ever have heard of anything they show.

Does anyone know what happened here? I don't see any reason to keep HBO if this is the new HBO. It's so disappointing, since HBO used to air the finest of tv and films I've ever seen on tv.

Just checked and I don't see anything wrong. They still have some of tv's finest shows and movies.

Who said they still have them? Then where are they hiding them?

It sounds like their actual selection hasn't changed but rather the layout on the screen has changed. I don't think Time Warner's merge with Spectrum has anything to do with HBO's selection, which I always found a bit lackluster compared to other choices outside their original programming.

yes, I could be having trouble with the format. It used to be easier just to peruse the list of movies on demand. I had always heard of every single one of them and had a had a hard time selecting one among the other good ones. It's different now.

I find more on demand choices on the HBO Go app   than going through my cable provider  (Optimum).  I can access  HBO Go on my Rokou or Playstation.
