Just got an email saying my Amazon HBO sub has HBO Max now. Still can't use Roku.

After getting the email I excitedly opened the Prime app in my Roku and went to HBO. Greeted with a banner saying you have to use the HBO Max app for Max content. This is some bs. They are really bending over backwards to keep their content from being streamed on any device.

Does it work in Chromecast ? HBO Go used to work there.

If i remember the whole point was to have people use the max app. While Amazon has approved it roku hasn't. Soooo not surprising that it wouldn't work in that situation. Gonna have to wait on a roku deal if you want it on that tv.

Sucks that HBO Max isn't available on Roku yet. I have chromecast though and use it through that.

Well it's working. Raised by Wolves is some of the best shit ever. Would love the convenience of watching it like any other shows.

Damn. I just picked up a TCL series 6 for the bedroom and it uses Roku for its smart features. Guess I'm assed out.

Next time I refresh my Roku line, I'm going to try to build something custom Android like maybe Raspberry Pi has something. I never want to be held back by bullshit platforms again

Give me android or if possible Linux. Such fucking horseshit.

If Max is important to you, maybe get a cheap chromecast in the meantime?

It doesn't. I can cast my other device screen to Roku and play it on tv, but more often than not it's choppy. It's a work around.

In response to the get a chromecast comment I've been looking at the new ones with google tv and probably buy one, but blocking one of the most popular streaming devices is still bs.
