Shortly after the streaming service HBO Max was rebranded to Max, a standalone app was released. As a result, the dedicated HBO Max buttons on smart TV remotes have become useless. informs 9to5google portal.
It is noted that there are programmed buttons on the remotes of some smart TVs that start the HBO Max application. However, due to rebranding, the service abandoned the old app and created a new app. As a result, when users press the service button instead of the application, they see a program that does not work and a message that you need to download another program.
Users can no longer reconfigure the button for a new app or remove the old one. It is not reported whether the Max service plans to somehow rectify the situation. It is possible for console manufacturers to independently reassign the button to turn on Max in the next update.
