I have a Samsung series 6 55" smart UHD LED TV. I am also a DirecTV HBO subscriber. The smart hub app immediately switched to HBO now when clicking on it. It won't allow me access.

I already have HBO Max working and activated on my smartphone.

Will Samsung fix this issue?

With mine it pulled up HBO Max but there wS no sound on any of the movies or tv shows at all. And my internet is working perfectly.

I was able to fix this issue by:

 

  • Going into the lists of apps that lets you delete and move apps
  • Deleting what looked like the HBO Max app, but I think was still a leftover/old version of HBO now (purely speculation).
  • Reinstalling the HBO Max app

 

Then when I opened the app it worked as expected.

HBO Max is the only option when i add hbo max it adds hbonow. I guess i could watch it wirh the browser but that would be a pain.

I have a 55" QLED and a 65" QLED, and I have the same issue on both. I thought maybe the HBO Max login would just work but no luck
