How to get hbo max on samsung

This is not a "solution". I bought 3 Samsung TVs and multiple Samsung phones onthe past 5 years so that they could be compatible with each other. Not only have you removed the simple, "screen mirror" function, but none of the new streaming services, including HBO Max and Disney Plus work. I have to use my 12 year old TV with a Firestick to watch all of the new streaming services.  This should be a very simple software or firmware upgrade and now I'm being forced to get a new TV!? Guess what brand I will WILL not ever buy again?

If you can’t sign in through your TV, internet, or mobile provider.
