I received a new version of Max today, so you might try updating your Roku to see if you have the latest version. I noticed the channel loads much faster than it used to, and I just watched a couple of shows without an issue. I was using an Ultra 4800.
For the Continue Watching, are you referring to the list on the Roku main screen or within the Max channel itself? The channel listed several movies that I had started but haven't finished yet. I have the one on the Roku main screen hidden, as I don't use it.
