Credit to the previous poster - sorry the deal got unpublished!!

Managed to get this to work using VPN via Brazil. I couldn’t get it to work via Argentina for some reason (it would just hang on the payment screen). To obtain this deal:

  1. Log in to Brazil via your VPN (note - PIA seems to be blocked. I had success with Surfshark)
  2. Go to HBO Max website and subscribe to the standard plan
  3. Enter your payment details.
  4. Note, Brazil requires something called a CPF number - I generated one using this site - https://www.generatormix.com/random-cpf-generator

That should be all that you need. You will need a Smart DNS to view any content - easy if you have one of those lifetime subscriptions to get Getflix.

For Android users - you will need to side load the app
For iOS users - you will need a US iTunes account to download the app - here are some instructions (https://www.crn.com.au/news/how-to-download-us-apps-in-austr…) - I haven’t personally tried these instructions as I created a US iTunes account a few years ago.

Confirmed obtainable. Managed to install it onto my iPad!

      You can. You just need a US iTunes account if you are a iOS user or you can easily side load the app if you are an Android user.

        too hard basket for me. Maybe this should be mentioned in post to avoid confusion. I was 5 seconds away from subscribing before I thought about checking the App Store first.

          What do you mean? Nvidia Shield Pro is an Android Box for TV.

          Do you mean, can it be loaded onto android TV OS within the TV?

              @ssd01: What box do you have and I can find out.

              It should be fine to sideload the HBO Max APK onto any Android TV box.

              @ssd01: Yes. That's what WallybR said twice now. You can load any android APK file onto any android tv box, as long as the android APK version is compatible with the Android version on your android box, which most likely it will be.

        Has anyone tried casting from the HBO Max app on Android to a Chromecast?

        • alan737 on 03/04/2022 - 20:15

          not possible, as you have to be on VPN to watch a show on mobile, and with VPN you cannot cast.

    This worked for me, sort of. $68.05 from my VISA card. They took my money easily enough…

    But actual playback is: "Can’t Connect" - "We’re having issues connecting to HBO Max right now. Please try again."

    I did get it working once, but the streaming was poor quality despite using the fastest NordVPN connection to Brazil. I suppose that the Brazilian HBO servers are getting slammed with the sale right now. I'll try again another day.

      Not really, especially when it comes to pricing

    • chet on 02/04/2022 - 11:07
      +3

      Binge is HBO's partner in Australia, HBO Max shows here kinda get auctioned off between Binge and Stan. For example, Binge got And Just Like That, Peacemaker, the Snyder cut for Justice League and the Harry Potter special while Stan got Hacks, Minx, Station Eleven, Love Life, Made for Love and That Damn Michael Che.

    • WallybR on 02/04/2022 - 12:27

      Binge have less, cost more and offer zero 4k options as they are owned by Foxtel. Foxtel exclusively ensure they only offer 4k content to their Foxtel IQ customers who are on a contract. Not even Foxtel now offer 4k. In 2022 it's very poor decision making and the consumer loses. They'll change it eventually when they realise contract options and hardware are obsolete

      Bing is shit, expect 1080p for most and stereo sound only!! Stereo sound in 2022, what a joke.

  • Josh213 on 01/04/2022 - 22:34

    I currently pay through the US Play store at $20/month, but it works through Apple TV and Surfshark on the tv - would this account still work through Apple TV or is a DNS required over surfshark?

    • M00Cow on 01/04/2022 - 22:46

      It'll be the same. SurfShark is your VPN +DNS

  • Voi on 01/04/2022 - 22:45

    What VPN do you guys use on Android TV to access it? I tried few months ago with Nord VPN but it mostly wasn't working or was very slow. Works fine on the laptop though

  • the4thzodiac on 01/04/2022 - 23:25

    easy if you have one of those lifetime subscriptions to get Getflix.

        Shady staff decisions, discouraging people from sharing.

        This deal was great before, and great now.

    • miztadave on 02/04/2022 - 08:48

      Me same. Not sure why the $A worked out to be more than the 3499 pesos equivalent. The email stated the total charge would be this. It did contain the disclaimer "Additional taxes applicable in your country are not included in the gross amount, and will be reflected on your card statement" so maybe that's why.

      Can confirm streaming perfectly from US servers using SmarrDNS proxy.

      • julz15 on 02/04/2022 - 09:31

        Not sure either. Maybe the original price of $43 was unobtainable??

        • Lister55 on 02/04/2022 - 09:59

          I asked the same question in the forums, where the post has now moved to - link.

          Removed because price changed.. Argentina charges 65% online purchase tax.

          Now I'm wondering if that will effect my YouTube sub…

      I’m using TorGuard, as I got a mad deal years ago & they have an app available on Android without sideloading or messing around.

      • stockastics on 03/04/2022 - 10:22

        I want to use a smart DNS service my LG TV. Getflix seems to allow routing to servers in different countries which is beneficial to access content. I check TorGuard and NordVPN. Both have a smart DNS service but with servers located only in the US. I am unable to use VPN on TV.

        • blues99 on 03/04/2022 - 10:26

          you could consider a cheap android TV device to get around some of the LG TV OS restrictions.

            • blues99 on 03/04/2022 - 14:10

              @stockastics: Mine works but it takes some fiddling (block hard coded dns on chromecast via router and possibly force chromecast to use private dns - both relatively easy though)

      Smart DNS: send your devices requests via preferred country - so it appears your in that country. Only clicks are re-routed, not entire video traffic.

      Side load: an app isn’t available via GoolePlay, so you download it from another website & install in manually

  • jes on 02/04/2022 - 08:57

    • abs898 on 02/04/2022 - 09:55

      They offer smart DNS too included. I haven't been able to work it successfully on any of my devices though.

    • stockastics on 03/04/2022 - 10:23

      Surfshark only has dns servers for the US

    • blues99 on 03/04/2022 - 10:28

      i believe it depends on you exact setup - i eventually got mine working on chromecast with google tv using surfshark app (Houston server), plus blocking the hardcoded chromecast DNS serves on the router, and using private DNS (open dns) on the chromecast and router (not sure if these last steps are necessary) but without a smart dns provider anywhere

      • Bargains4days on 03/04/2022 - 14:17

        Interested on how you did it. I couldn't do it on my pfsense. Do you happen to have a guide on how you did it? Surfshark's instructions aren't the clearest.

        • blues99 on 03/04/2022 - 14:35

          Follow this for private dns (not Google dns) on chromecast
          https://www.reddit.com/r/MiBox/comments/nas04z/how_to_set_up…
          Use open dns over tls address "dns.opendns.com"

          Also block dns on your router using this
          Add an entry in the advanced routing by clicking the add button. Make sure the setup looks like this:
          Destination IP Address: 8.8.8.8
          Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.255
          Default gateway: The IP of Ur router (normally 192.168.1.1)
          Status: Enabled
          Please repeat the steps above for the destination IP 8.8.4.4

          Also you may need to add open dns as the default dns on your router but not sure this is needed.

          Hope helps

          Seems like a lot of effort still, every time you want to watch something (assuming it all works).

            Nord VPN is a pain these days always logging you out and re-directs to the webpage to log in.

    • ssd01 on 03/04/2022 - 00:12

      Chromecast and other googletv ones have embedded the DNS as google DNS, to overcome that In your router you need DNS hijack or you need to put static routes in your router for 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 to where u configure ur dns. DM if you need more details,, spend fair bit of time to get it going :)

      • blues99 on 03/04/2022 - 06:33
