It’s getting easier and easier to upgrade your TV without breaking the bank to enjoy smart TV. Numerous devices with integrated systems are capable of doing all the tasks of a Smart TV. One is to download applications in the purest style of mobile phones, among which you can install HBO Max for your Amazon Fire TV Stick.
This device lets you have the popular digital platform on any plasma TV. There are two ways to get your app on a Fire TV, which we will explain below. Indeed, it is not in the device store, but buying a Smart TV to download this app is unnecessary.
WHAT IS HBO MAX?
Before knowing how it is done, it is necessary to comment on what it offers. It is an HBO streaming content platform variant, offering premium channels and the company’s productions. It also serves as a means to broadcast some Warner productions instead of doing it in movie theaters. An example of this is Zack Snyder’s Justice League.
It is available in several countries, including Spain. As with Netflix, Disney +, or Amazon Prime Video, it has versions for all electronic devices, such as mobile phones, tablets, computers, and televisions.
HOW TO INSTALL HBO MAX ON YOUR AMAZON FIRE TV STICK FROM YOUR MOBILE
One of the disadvantages of the Fire TV Stick is that it does not have a Google Play Store to download Android TV apps but rather has its repository. Due to this, you will have to use an alternative app store from your mobile to transfer the file to the television. First, you can download the HBO Max app on APKMirror, which is completely safe and free. Once you have done that, you have to configure the following:
- Turn on your Fire TV Stick and head over to Settings.
- Enter the My Fire TV section.
- Select the Developer Options section.
- Turn on the ADB Debugging and Apps of Unknown Source options.
Once configured on the television and with the HBO Max app for Android TV downloaded, you must install another app to help you send that file from the mobile to the Fire TV Stick over Wi-Fi. To do this, you have to do the following:
- Download the Send Files to TV app on the terminal and Amazon Fire TV, each in its corresponding app store.
- Open the app on both devices. From the mobile, select the Send button, choose the APK file, and click on your television device that appears in the list.
- From the Fire TV Stick, tap the Receive button.
- With the APK in the device’s memory, download a file manager to install HBO Max. The File Explorer app is a good option for that.
- Open the app and look for the Download folder to find the file. Next, select the Install app, and you will have HBO Max working correctly.
Once you have done all this, all that remains is to log in with your account and enjoy all the series and movies offered by the streaming content platform.
- Download the Send Files to TV app for Android.
YOU CAN ALSO INSTALL HBO MAX FROM THE AMAZON FIRE TV STICK ITSELF
If you don’t want to mess with your mobile and TV simultaneously, there is a way to manage everything from the Fire TV Stick using a web browser on the device. Having made the configuration that we have previously raised to download apps from external sources, all you have to do is the following on the television:
- Enter the Fire TV Stick app store and download the Downloader app.
- Open the app and look for the Browser option in the left menu.
- When the browser opens, type Aptoide TV, an alternative store to Android TV.
- Enter the said store and click on Download Aptoide TV. An APK will be downloaded for you to install.
- After installing the app, go into it to search for HBO Max.
- Select the first option that appears in the results and click Install. You already have the app ready to use.
There is a third alternative that you can carry out from the Amazon website, entering My Account and the Contents and Devices option. It consists of changing the country configuration and your address to one from the United States. By doing this, you can download the HBO Max app and install it directly on the Fire TV Stick since it is available in that country. Although it is a valid method, we believe that it is not as intuitive as the ones we have planned, not to mention that it means constantly changing your address to make purchases on the web.
