How do I access HBO Max content on a Sky+ HD box.....?

[Phomes]

There is  no reason why the HBO and Paramount+ content can't be accessed by a simple "search" function - as opposed to the cumbersome scrolling and poor layout of episodic content within. 

I get they want to encourage people towards Glass or Stream but it has the opposite effect of making me want to use a firestick and VPN like my GenZ kids keep telling me to do.

I agree. The 'Taste Of Hayu' and Disney+ Teaser content shows up in Search, so absolutely no reason why HBO Max content doesn't.

Have you tried the off-line search by disconnecting the Sky Plus from broadband?

Does anyone know if we can access HBO max on an iPad using the free Sky account?

I tried to create an account but only Amazon was listed as a provider so I couldn't go any further. Also the 6 digit code they were supposed to email when I just tried signing in never appeared in my inbox or junk.

Not if you're a Sky+HD subscriber, no.

I have Sky Q and have already activated it on TV.

OK, but you're in the Sky+ subforum and this thread was about how to view it using a Sky HD box, which works differently to Q.....

Thanks, I emailed Viewer Relations Team as you suggested.

They've just replied saying they replicated the problem and will look into resolving it.

In the meantime I am getting better at interpreting the hidden lines.

Here is the screenshot I emailed them, from '999 Murderer Calling'.

It's not available on Sky+ boxes as a channel only on Sky Q boxes and streaming 🙁 

HBO Max content is made available via the On Demand section on your Sky+ box.
