CNN Max is likely to evolve over time. Among the features the company will try out are ways of alerting Max viewers to breaking news while they are watching something else on the service, whether it be an HBO series, a Turner Classic Movies selection or an old episode of Food Network’s “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.”

The enshittification of our world continues unabated.

    What you don’t get to do, which you could do back when TV was just TV and you happened to catch it on, or you could do when it is added to a streaming service, is discover something you didn’t know existed.

      That’s fair. I’ve discovered some neat old films on Max by just browsing around.

      There are some decent discovery services you can use with your torrent software.

      I use Ombi which my plex users can log into with their Plex id, discover new/old/etc content and then send an automated request to my Radarr/Sonarr software.

      Each users permissions can be configured as to the quality/language/etc of the content as well as which types they can request to automatically download and which require my approval first
