What devices support HBO Max? Take a look at the list of distributors

HBO Max is the new streaming service from Warner Media, which will arrive soon to cater to the audience amid the COVID-19 pandemic. It is set to launch on May 27, 2020, on multiple devices including some of the best Apple and Android tech. According to reports, executives are expecting a rise in the usage with the help of an existing base of HBO subscribers, which is about 34 million in the United States.

Reportedly, AT&T has been attempting to encourage customers to shift their base to HBO Max, which will be priced equal to a standard HBO plan’s cost, i.e. $14.99 per month. The latest streaming service will include popular shows like Friends and The Big Bang Theory, besides various original series and films.

However, getting access to HBO Max is dependent on the customer’s existing relationship with the company through which they will access the new service. The complications will arrive if one pays for HBO through a cable operator, which does not have an HBO Max agreement with AT&T. But we have mentioned everything one needs to know about the new HBO Max.

If one has not yet subscribed to HBO, they can sign up for HBO Max directly through the official website i.e. HBOMax.com. As per reports, the company is offering discounted rates for entirely new customers where they have to pay $11.99 per month, which is the preorder promotion amount and will expire soon.

Moreover, those who are not interested in direct-to-customer options can sigh-up through different television service providers including Altice, Charter, AT&T, Cox Contour, DirecTV, Hulu, Optimum, Spectrum Suddenlink, Verizon Fios, and YouTube TV, to name a few. So, HBO Max will be visible as add-ons on the customer’s mobile interface and television.
