Hey there:
Can you send me the instructions you used to install HBO on your Fire Stick?
I've tried it, but it's never worked. I wonder, though, if it's because I need
to delete HBO from my Amazon apps.
Thanks,Dave

So today is August 1. The HBO Now App on my Fire TV has disappeared, replaced
with an App Titled HBO, as Joe predicted. However, when I click on it, it still
opens HBOMax, with all of their extra content (which I have a right to access
via my HBO subscription on Xfinity).
Now, this is what I was told would happen when I side loaded HBO Max, that the
Max App itself would not not show on the Fire TV menu, but that I would still
be able to access the Max content, once I registered through my Cable
provider. So far, on day one, it does seem possible to bypass Amazon’s black
out on HBO Max. We shall see what happens as the month progresses.

Okay, so I'm going to take a stab at this based on this article:
https://help.hbonow.com/Answer/Detail/11, which is as clear as mud.
If you subscribe to HBO Max but use the HBO Now app, on August 1, your HBO Now
app will become HBO. At that point, you'll be tied down to basically only the
HBO stuff and not all the extras. To get all the extras, you'll have to use the
HBO Max app, which is what's not on Roku or Amazon.

I have a HBO Max subscription directly with HBO -- I got the annual
deal before launch. I can use those credentials to log into HBO Now
on my Roku TVs.
