HBO max not working on roku Express

I'm subbed to hbo max on my roku Express and it never worked well before but now it's not working at all. If I try to play anything other then a trailer the video will load for a minute then take me back to the previous screen. I tried restarting, and uninstalling and reinstalling the app (which I had to unsubscribe to hbo max in order to do because roku wouldn't give me the option if I'm subscribed) and its still doing the same thing. Super frustrating considering how expensive hbo max is. I'm not allowed to email roku about this apparently but I did contact hbo max. Has anyone else experienced this that might be able to help? Thank you

Re: HBO max not working on roku Express

@Acidexrain-

After removing a channel, best practice is to clear the Roku's memory by restarting it  before reinstalling the channel.   Did you do this?  Without the restart you may not get a clean reinstall. 

Restart via Settings > System > System restart (for Roku TVs: Settings > System > Power > System restart)

Re: HBO max not working on roku Express

Hi yes I restarted my roku through settings after uninstalling hbo and reinstalled it. I also tried leaving it unplugging it for a while before reinstalling.
