There new streaming platform which replaces HBO Max has finally landed in several countries, including Europe. Max brings together content from Discovery, Warner Bros., Cartoon Network and DC Universe, as well as sporting events like the Paris 2024 Olympic Games or Roland Garros.
As was the case with HBO Max, the new service supports multiple devices, so we can access it not only through mobile phones, tablets and computers, but also from Android TVs. The problem? That the HBO Max app has become unusable, but the solution is very simple.
Now you need a new app
The new Max platform is already active and allows you to view all its content on smartphones, tablets, computers, televisions, streaming players, decoders and game consoles. Even from Amazon’s Fire TV, which previously didn’t have an app for HBO Max.
If you were a subscriber to HBO Max, you have automatic access to Max without losing your profiles, view your history and billing information. However, if you tried to access Max from the HBO Max app that you had until now on your Android TV, you will have found that it is not possible.
Because? Well, because Warner Bros. Discovery has decided to launch the new Max app (free) for Android TV devices with Android TV OS 5.1 or later. This includes smart TVs with Android TV built-in and Chromecast with Google TV.
To install it, simply open the official Google Play app store on your Smart TV, it is not possible to install Max from another location. In Google Play, search for “Max” and when you find it, select Install.
Once installed, you can access it with the same credentials (username and password) that you had on HBO Max. From there, whenever you want to update it, all you have to do is highlight the Max app, press and hold the Select button and choose See the details > Update.
If the Max app isn’t available on your TV, the solution is to use a Chromecast, compatible streaming player, or HDMI cable to connect your computer, phone, or tablet to your TV.
