I just tried HBO Max on my LG Nano85 using my 4800, and it appears that HBO has borked up their channel, again. I started The Batman and the TV only indicated HDR, not Dolby Vision. I tried a different title, and still only HDR. Both titles gave me Atmos audio.
I then tried Disney+, and it streamed Dolby Vision without an issue. I also tried Vudu, and it too provided DV without a problem. Yep, HBO messed up their app... again.
atc98092 AntiqueLegend Warner media bought Discovery. They are in the works of combining HBO Max and Discovery+. But the HBO Max channel/app has been a mess across all platforms since it was released. Hopefully a new version will be released which will have Discovery also

Same issue here. I watched The Batman and only in HDR10 with Atmos. I did an Airplay via my phone to my Roku and it plays Vision and Atmos. HBOMax app not streaming Dolby Vision to Roku. Hope they fix it soon!!

Of course when you contact HBOMax they play the blame game. They said my Roku wasn't updated or my internet connection want good. Its never the provider that has issues its always the receiver

Yeah, they're full of it. It's their channel, not the Roku. If the other channels didn't have DV working, then you could probably blame the Roku OS. But when all the rest work, it's the channel.
