HBO max free trial not able to watch on Roku devices

I signed up for the hbo max free trial but I can not log in to watch anything. How am I supposed to watch and use the free trial if I can’t log in?

Re: HBO max free trial not able to watch on Roku devices

Hello! @Jessicaxmccrory,

A friendly welcome from the Roku Community!

We appreciate you reaching out to us. We're pleased to assist.

We recommend performing the below steps to see if you can resolve the issue:

1. Remove the channel from the Roku device

2. Power cycle the Roku device by disconnecting it from the power cable and reconnecting the device to power.

3. Re-add the channel back to the Roku device

Let's see how it goes.

Thanks,

Arjiemar

Re: HBO max free trial not able to watch on Roku devices

I’m having the same issue but with MAX.  When I try to remove the channel there is no option to remove. When I view the subscription in the manage subscription section it shows I have a subscription till Feb but when I go back to the channel it wants me to log in to my MAX account which I don’t have, add a provider or buy a subscription. Contacted MAX who says ROKU needs to fix and ROKU has no support for my Roku 2 so I’m SOL.   I’m done with Roku. My Firestick is sooooo much better.

The name "Roku 2" was used on devices introduced from 2011 to 2015, so anything relatively modern is likely to be sooooo much better. 

Banned but back. Because why not?
