Roku did not force the change, HBO did. The old app no longer works, because they rebranded themselves as MAX. The fact the channel was removed was all due to what HBO controls, not Roku. You have to wait for HBO to approve MAX for your locale. Roku cannot alter the settings the channel provider has for channel availability.
And no, there's no way to restore the old app. Even if you could, HBO would again force its removal the first time you went to use it. When they made the change to MAX, each time I started the app on my Android devices it told me to install the new app and the old one did not work.
Except that the HBO Max app still works in Europe where HBO has not yet rebranded and rolled out the new app. I live in Europe and want the keep using the old HBO Max app on my Roku, but Roku switched it without asking. Surely Roku would be aware that people outside of the US use Roku.
