They're clearly trying to stay relevant. Good for them.

Anyone ever manage to get this casting to a Roku?
There's supposed to be multiple ways to do it...
https://nerdschalk.com/how-to-get-hbo-m ... rror-cast/
None of which are working for me. I was doing it from my phone, and the closest I got was the "Through Google Home" method. I hit the "power on" button in the app, and the Roku Ultra says, "Thinking" for 1.5 seconds, then nothing. Nothing else on the phone would even recognize there was a Roku out there waiting for a screen mirror.
Is it possible to cast from a PC? I'm on my laptop, I launch an HBOMax vid, and the roku casting options are there, but greyed out as "Source Not Supported."
WHy the fuck is this so difficult. It's already bullshit that I need to take my hard-wired-to-the-network Roku and connect it to a wifi router, so the devices will be "on the same network."

Well, I figured out this particular laptop doesn't support screen casting in the hardware, because of no reason I can figure out. It's not an old machine. Windows 10 is telling me it isn't supported on this hardware, and maybe update my wifi or graphics card. I guess a 100MB wireless connection isn't fast enough to stream spongebob.
The phone is still a boggle at this time. Tried 3 different ways, none of them are working.

No, and I cannot fathom why it wouldn't be available there.

It's not on Roku or one other platform cuz they couldn't agree to terms.
It's not me, it's someone else.

That is monumentally stupid.
Does HBO really think they're in a position of power here? Roku is a big deal and nobody is switching because they "need" HBO Max.

It's been 3+ months now. I figured they would have gotten their shit together by then.
If I wasn't splitting the cost of it, I would have cancelled HBO Max over this issue, by now.

Tried casting to Roku from my much newer/faster gaming PC.
"Hardware not supported."
They seem to be purposely making this hard to do/impossible.
Back in the 90s I transmitted from PC to TV with a set of RF transmitters/receivers. It's so nice that we're trying to get away from that functionality now that it's technically so much easier.

Many TVs now come with Roku, AppleTV, the Amazon one, or their own proprietary software installed. Also, most people don't know how to cast to their TV or don't want to.
The pay channels need to pull their heads out of their asses and realize they have better make themselves available on every conceivable device before more pay channels keep hitting and the inevitable reckoning comes.

I'm a technical guy, and this shit is still stymieing me. I'm sure it's possible, but it shouldn't be this difficult. As I said, I can't even get HBOMax streaming from my android phone, yet.

Of the devices you can get, I found the Chromecast to be the absolute worst. Roku is the absolute best and it's not a close race.

I say "streaming from my android phone" but what I meant was casting from my andriod phone to my roku. I can indeed stream HBOMax ON my android phone. Getting it to the TV is the part that is a boggle.

Chromecast will do that. I've probably got one lying around if you want it. It's 1080p, though, not 4k.
It solves the problem Gordon has.

Apple devices stream directly to most smart devices, nothing else needed...
I say that sadly because you know I hate Apple, but got to give credit where it's due.

Perfect timing.
My kids are amped to see WW84, and they have no idea they'll be watching it at home on Christmas.
