Channel Issues & Questions

I have HBO Max via my cable provider, but cannot access it on my Roku. Luckily I still had my old Google Chromecast in a drawer so I got it out & plugged it in to cast HBO Max via the HBO Max App on my phone or tablet. It works. Supposedly you can mirror your screen using the Roku stick but that didn't work so right now Google Chromecast it is.

Screen mirroring to a Roku works in two ways. One is a Windows 10 laptop, and the other is using an Android device (phone or tablet). A Windows 10 desktop might also work if the PC has a wireless adapter. You cannot screen mirror any iOS device at this time. There was talk about Roku supporting Air Play 2, but nothing has happened yet.

You still have to have the HBO Max app to watch the additional content offered. As we know, it's not currently offered by Roku.

You can also connect a computer to your roku tv and use the hbomax website via a browser.  ridiculous that hbo and roku haven't worked this out yet tho.

You can't just create a new account. It asks you to sign in to your provider. Once you do, you're in your existing account.

Hope you realized by now that you can only access HBO content doing this but not HBO Max content.
