FAQS
What is HBO Max?
HBO Max is a new streaming service from WarnerMedia that brings together all of your favorite shows and movies from the award-winning HBO, Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment brands, plus new content for fans to enjoy. You can access all of this through one app—the same way you do now with HBO NOW. The difference is that now your favorite shows are in one place so there’s no need to subscribe to multiple apps just to watch your favorite programming on all devices (and still having to pay for each individual app).
How do I use the HBO Max app on my SmartCast?
If you’re already an eligible member of HBO Go/NOW, then chances are good that getting started with the new service will be as easy as downloading it onto your device! As long as you have an active subscription account linked with your device, simply follow these steps:
1. Go to the App Store on your SmartCast and select “Get” 2. Once downloaded, sign in by entering the same credentials used for HBO Go/NOW 3. Open up HBO Max to start watching!
