How Many Devices Can Stream HBO Max?

By now, you've probably heard that HBO Max is launching on April 16. With the new service, fans of Game of Thrones and Westworld can watch episodes right after they air on TV. But how many devices can I stream HBO Max at once? Can I watch it on my computer and my phone at the same time? What about my tablet? Well, let's find out!

Is HBO Max the Same As HBO Now?

HBO Max is a brand new streaming service that will be available in 2024. It's not the same as HBO Now, which has been around since April 2015 and offers access to HBO’s original content (think Game of Thrones) as well as cable TV shows like Sex and the City, Entourage, Westworld and more.

HBO Now offers a free 7-day trial to new members who want to try it out before committing; after the trial ends you'll need to sign up for HBO Now through Apple or Amazon Prime Video (or whatever platform you prefer).

Who Has Access to HBO Max on Launch Day?

HBO Max is available on the following devices:

  • Chromecast
  • Apple TV
  • Amazon Fire TV
  • Roku
  • Samsung Smart TV
  • Xbox One (if you've got an HBO Max subscription, you'll be able to access it via your cable or satellite provider)
  • PlayStation 4 (if you've got an HBO Max subscription, you'll be able to access it via your cable or satellite provider)

Some of these apps are free. Others require an additional payment. You may also need a subscription from your cable or satellite provider in order to use these services. If you have any questions about whether your device will work with HBO Max, check with the manufacturer of that specific device.

How Can I Stream HBO Max?

HBO Max is available to stream on a variety of devices. Here's how you can watch:

  • If you have a TV that supports streaming services, you can use it to watch HBO Max. This includes any device that connects directly to your TV, such as the Roku or Apple TV.
  • If you prefer to watch shows on mobile, then HBO Max will also be available on smartphones and tablets with iOS or Android operating systems.
  • If you're looking for something more simple and easy to use than a full-sized computer screen, then consider using YouTube or Netflix instead of browsing through all those videos online in your browser window! The Chromecast dongle can help too by making sure that everything looks good while showing off some cool animations from time to time too!

How Do I Get a Free Trial for HBO Max?

To get started with a free trial, all you have to do is sign up for one. You'll need to provide basic personal information like your name and email address, but we promise it's not too much. HBO will then send you an activation code via email that you'll enter on the HBO Max website or app (depending on whether you're watching on mobile or at home).

Once activated, you can watch in HD on up to three devices at a time (e.g., your smartphone, tablet, and computer). If you've never subscribed before or if it's been long since your last subscription than 30 days ago, then there won't be any additional costs beyond the $5 per month that HBO Max charges after the first month ends (and even then only if this is going to be your main streaming service).

What to Watch on HBO Max

HBO Max has a lot of content, but it is not as good as HBO Now.

HBO Max offers some of the best shows on TV, like Game of Thrones and Westworld. It also has tons of movies and original programming from streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video. But that's not all! You can also watch movies from major studios in HD quality without commercials or interruptions!

How to Download Movies and Shows from HBO Max

You can download movies and shows from HBO Max on your phone, computer, or tablet. If you're only interested in downloading the content to one device (for example, an Apple TV), then you can use the steps below for whichever device you prefer. Just make sure that it's not a streaming service: if it is, go here instead!

On iOS Devices : Go to Settings > General > Restrictions > Enable Restrictions. Enter a passcode twice and then disable restrictions when prompted so that you can continue using HBO Max as normal. Then go back into Settings > General > Restrictions and turn off In-App Purchase under Allowed Content.

On Android Devices : Go to Settings > Apps & Notifications > App Permissions and tap on HBO Max; toggle Allow Access To External Storage with the switch so that it's green (on).

The New Streaming Service Allows Three Concurrent Streams.

HBO Max allows you to stream on up to three devices at the same time. That means, however, that streaming HBO Max on all three platforms is not possible. You can only stream Master of None on Netflix at any one time—not simultaneously with Game of Thrones on HBO Max and Westworld on Hulu.

There are several ways that you can stream your favorite shows from the new streaming service:

TV - You must have an internet connection because it's over-the-top (OTT) content and not cable TV. All you need is an Android TV device like Chromecast or Apple TV which lets you watch movies, shows and videos through your television using apps like YouTube or Netflix.

Computer - If there's no Wi-Fi network around where you live then consider buying an Ethernet cable so as to connect directly into your router using Ethernet ports instead of Wi-Fi signals which are more prone than ever before due to various forms of interference such as radio waves being emitted by cell phones nearby while they're trying hard not only survive but also prosper within their own environment without having a negative impact upon anyone else nearby who might be adversely affected by this type.

Conclusion

If you’re a cord-cutter looking for your next streaming service, HBO Max may be the one to try. The newly launched service offers a wide variety of content, including some original shows and movies that are exclusive to HBO Max subscribers. It allows three concurrent streams per account, so if you want to watch on multiple devices at once, this is the service for you!
