As a fellow Roku user.. I never figured out what the situation was on the HBO MAX thing.. I was an HBO Now subscriber.. HBO never quit working for me .. I'm guessing they migrated me to Max or something.. but I'd like to hear from you how it affected you in case I missed something.

It's the same thing with Twitch - for a long time you could still get Twitch on Roku, but it was unsupported. AFAIK you can still install it, but it doesn't work.

Twoku works alright, but it's not great. On those extremely rare occasions where I want to watch Twitch, let alone Twitch on my TV (hello Minecraft Clash of the Creators), I hook a laptop into the HDMI of the TV and run from there.

With only HBO Now as the app you only had access to HBO content, not the full range of the HBO Max content.

As far as I know something similar happened with Amazon. They didn't have MAX for a very long time.
