I am in the Channel Islands and although I have HBO Max included in my subscription it will not work through my Sky Stream device. It appears to be an issue with my Guernsey postcode. I want this resolved as I am paying for a service and to have all my apps in one place. What do I do?

Hi @Hill4 and welcome to the forum. The problem is actually with HBO and not Sky. I live in Jersey and like you had issues registering with HBO Max. If I remember correctly in my case when I scanned the QR code on my TV I couldn't register using my mobile as it gave a message about HBO not being available at my location. I resolved this by setting up a VPN on my mobile (it's also useful when travelling and using public Wi-Fi).
I had a similar problem with Disney + as well but both are now working without any issues.
If my post (or any other) has solved your issue please mark as an "Answer" as it helps others identify the solution
