But that’s not all. The three companies are also continuing discussions around advertisement revenue sharing once the streaming service’s future ad-supported version of HBO Max launches sometime in 2021.
One workaround for Roku owners that many have suggested is to sign up for HBO Max through Hulu. Unfortunately, despite your account showing that you have access to Max, you’ll only be able to stream content found in HBO Go or Now. After testing it out ourselves, it looks like you’ll need to wait for an HBO Max app to gain full access to everything offered by the new service.

HBO Max is Available Everywhere Else
Thankfully, HBO Max is available on almost every other major platform. If you’re looking to rewatch every episode of Friends or The Big Bang Theory while on the go, download the HBO Max app for Android from the Google Play Store or for iPhone and iPad from Apple’s App Store. Additionally, you can download the streaming service’s app onto your Android TV and Apple TV or cast content from your mobile devices to your Chromecast or AirPlay-compatible television.
As with Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, YouTube TV, and many other streaming services, HBO Max can also be found on other pieces of hardware found around your house. These devices include Sony’s PlayStation 4 and Microsoft’s Xbox One gaming consoles. The HBO Max app can be downloaded from the PlayStation Store or the Microsoft Store. Unfortunately, the service isn’t launching on the Nintendo Switch.
Last but certainly not least, HBO Max can be added to your Samsung smart TV. As long as your television is connected to the internet and is from 2016 or later, you should be able to stream your favorites from Warner Bros, Turner Classic Movies, Studio Ghibli, and others.
