Can't get HBOMax via DirectTV on my TV

HBOMax is included on my DirectTV/AT&T plan,

 

I can get HBOMax on my PC (Edge browser) by signing in with my AT&T login/pwd.

 

But I can't get HBOMax my TV via DirecTV. 

 

All the AT&T instructions reference the "HBOMax" App, but my DirectTV has NO such app.

 

(Instructions also say you can launch HBOMax via Channels 190 or 500, but those channels are not available.)

 

Is it possible to watch HBOMax via DirectTV? 

 

My Sony Android TV is running version 8.0.

But I didn't ask a "device" question. Yes, I know I can get get HBO Max on my TV (Android 8.0), for the usual subscription fee of $14.99/month.

 

Not what I want. 

 

My question is about viewing HBO Max on DirectTV. Not on my PC, which I can do: on my TV via DirecTV.

 

Per the info on the AT&T site, I should be able to. But there is no HBOMax App on DirectTV, though the info says there ought to be.

No, there is no HBOMax app available to Amazon Fire devices.  If you look at the list provided in Post#2 above, Amazon Fire (TV/Tablets) is NOT listed as compatible.

Time Warner Media (owners of HBOMax) have not come to an agreement with Amazon to provide access to HBOMax.

wow, fits a 2020 weirdness. what happened to we need to get all our agreements finalized before the roll out of our great product. thank you management for not doing and thinking. i just got HBO MAX for free through my att account as long as a joined their auto pay program. hope and pray the agreements come later so i can watch in my living room as apposed a handheld smartphone today.
