Published on December 4, 2021
HBO Max is one of the most popular streaming platforms nowadays, offering quite a few top-rated WarnerMedia movies and awesome series. It supports many smart TVs, including the Sony Smart TVs and other Android TVs. As we all know, it's really easy to install a native app on a smart TV now, so let's see how to sign up, download, and install HBO Max on Sony Smart TV in a few simple steps.
Which Sony Smart TVs Are Supported by HBO Max?
HBO Max offers support for Android TV-enabled Smart TVs (Google TV or Android TV), such as Sony Smart TVs with Android OS 5 or later, as per the streaming service's website. Android TVs have been included as part of Sony's TV line-up since 2015, and Google TVs were introduced in 2021.
You can find out whether your Sony Smart TV runs on Android OS by looking at its homepage - Android TVs have a Gear icon and the clock displayed in the upper-right corner of the home screen, and Google TVs have your Google account icon in the same spot. LCD/LED type Sony Smart TVs are not included on this list. You can also see what OS your Sony TV has by going to your model support page, as it is listed under the Operating System field on the model Specifications page.
We recommend you check to see if there are any available software updates before installing the app by going to your TV's Settings section.
