This is what I need as well. I love the content but I hate how there is no native TV app.
Like others, by resetting my PS5 I was able to download the app.
Not any more. I think Cyberpunk came with a month free when you sub up, but they ended up killing free trials due to them putting out big movie releases onto the service.
Sorry that was a typo on my part. I meant to say not, not now. But no still no LG support, I believe it's still only on Samsung TVs.
I'm interested in this too. It's definitely the smoothest on the Apple TV. I had tried on the PS4 Pro and wow it is janky
No worries.
But yeah, it's annoying. I know it's on the PS4 Pro (don't have a PS5 yet), but I don't know if there are HDR issues on the Pro in regards to HBOMax like there is with Disney+.
This is what I'd ultimately prefer, but in the meantime, this works just fine for me. It means my PS4 doesn't need to be hooked up if I want to watch 4K/HDR content on my good TV.
That said, I'm not holding my breath for the LG app. We never even got the older HBO apps on LG sets.
I am sorry to report that, due to the 2021 WB movie release plan, HBO Max no longer offers a trial sub.

Just curious, but did you watch HBOMax on your PS4 (I'm guessing you had a Pro?) before you got a PS5? How did the HDR/4K look?
Just watched Mulan the other night on Disney+ via my LG CX and it looked beautiful. But I know Disney+ has issues on the Pro with HDR for some reason. Did you find the same with HBOMax?
Not the person you quoted but HBOMax currently doesn't support HDR & 4K. That'll come when Wonder Woman is released.
Ahh, ok. Thank you. Hopefully it releases with no issues for the Pro, as that's the only way for me to watch the app right now.
About damn time (I was just using my Smart TV before) and yeah, would have been pretty bad if they didn't have it for WW84 launch next week.
Sorry I should've also shared that I think it'll be delayed for consoles.
These are the listed devices that they'll support for 4K HDR when it launches:
- Apple TV 4K
- Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K, Fire TV Cube and 4K Fire TV Edition smart TVs
- Google Chromecast Ultra and "supported" Android TV devices
- The AT&T TV streaming box (which runs Android TV)
Good thing I didn't pull the trigger on that Chromecast TV then. I didn't have any means of watching HBO Max since the PS4 Pro is boxed up and being given to family, and my TCL doesn't have the app.
I have been streaming hbomax through airplay to my lg oled (webos still lacks an hbomax app) and it's been working pretty well as far as I can tell. Perhaps the quality is slightly degraded but nothing too noticeable.
Nice to see that it's native on PS5 now

Of course. smh Looks like I won't be watching Wonder Woman for awhile.
But even for PS5? I don't have one, but I can see a lot of people in this thread being unhappy if what you say is true.
It's on the way and so is a BBC sounds app. No timetable though. I asked the iPlayer team.
Now that Sony bought Crunchyroll I assume VRV is never coming to PS5 in an attempt to strongarm Sentai.
Just in time for Wonder Woman. And Matrix 4. And Dune. And Space Jam 2. And while I'm there, the new Looney Tunes.
4k, HDR & Dolby Atmos Finally Coming to HBO Max | HD Report (hd-report.com)
Don't know if it's active yet, but if not, soon.
I'm sure HBO/Warner Media was finally motivated enough with WW84 premier closing in. Imagine not having the largest install base as an option for your potential subscriber.
