Amazon Prime Day 2020: Non-Roku TV Deals You Can Stream HBO Max On

For all the HBO Max watchers out there, you know the service doesn’t have a Roku app yet and you can’t watch unless you have a Roku workaround. Luckily, Amazon Prime Day 2020 has some great deals on non-Roku TVs and streaming devices with access to the HBO streaming service. First off, however, you’ll want to make sure you are a Prime member, as the deals are only available to subscribers of Amazon’s service. Don’t worry, there are still great deals year-round with Amazon Prime, including free two-day shipping on orders.

Roku users have voiced their concerns with the fact that they are unable to stream HBO Max with their Roku devices, leaving them with limited options. According to Screen Rant, the only TVs that support the HBO Max app are Samsung smart TVs. Additionally, it is important to note that this only applies to the 2016 and newer models. However, the HBO Max app is available to download on PlayStation and Xbox stores, which means that subscribers who have one of these consoles could stream the service on any TV compatible with them. Furthermore, Google Chromecast users can also cast the HBO Max app, and would be able to stream on any compatible TV as well.

It’s important to keep in mind that Prime Day is not just one day this year. While there were Prime Day deals on Tuesday, the deals will carry on through Wednesday. Keep an eye out for deals that might be a good fit for you, and check out the below deals in the meantime!
