HBO PP

Can anyone tell me why my HBO APP says Get Access on Sky.

I had thought that I downloaded the app and it would automatically show up.

Thank you

@Suziwong+tong Have you activated your basic with ads free subscriptions through your sky hardware?

Downloaded onto what?

A Max app on a non-Sky device cannot know about the Sky subscription unless the same account credentials are used.

Hi, I may not have explained myself.

We got HBO max free on 26March along with Disney +.

Once I have activated HBO, we tried to watch TNT cycle yesterday and it tells me to get access via Sky but yet I can watch other things.

Any Ideas please

A TNT Sports subscription is required to watch most sport via HBO Max.

The 'free' subscription you get with Sky only gives access to Entertainment content (with ads).

We get the lowest possible tier 'free'. On HBO not even 'Premium' has Sports content.

See above.
