TL;DR
Romania is one of HBO Max's strongest CEE markets (tied with Poland) — WBD prioritizes Romania for CEE distribution. Netflix RO, Disney+ (CEE launch 2022), Prime Video, and Apple TV+ all work. Local Voyo (CME Group) and Antena PLAY (Antena TV Group) extend national broadcasters into streaming with RO dramas / variety / sports. Spotify Romania is mid-priced. F1 TV varies by package. Missing: Hulu / BBC iPlayer (BritBox available paid) / Tving.

Tips
Romania's ISPs (Digi/RCS-RDS, Orange, Vodafone, Telekom) are excellent. Bucharest nodes have decent residential IP supply. Netflix Romania pricing is among the lowest in the EU, but signup requires local RON payment (Visa/Mastercard RO card or PayPal RO account). HBO Max CEE strictly segregates from Western Europe; Romanian originals (Hackerville, Tăcerea) are local highlights. Disney+ CEE includes the Star channel. RO residential IPs work well for unlocking CEE-exclusive content.
