Using HBO MAX

I subscribe to HBO on Direct TV.  It appears that I can't use MAX directly on my Samsung Smart TV.  Can I download the App to my phone and then cast the video to my TV?  I do this with some sport apps.

You should be able to use MAX on your Samsung TV. Choose to log in via a TV provider and be sure to choose DIRECTV. Then, login with your credentials (DIRECTV satellite email and password). This should work fine.

Why do you think you can’t use the smart tv app? I use the app on an Apple TV, I know most other streaming devices work fine too logging in with Directv credentials as outlined above.

Most likely you need to go to your TV's apps store to download the Max app then as stated log in with your DTV info.
