There is a new streaming service in town for more countries. The HBO Max was launched in the US last year. Now, it has been announced to go global soon.

The streaming platform will be available in these countries:
| Anguilla, Antigua, Argentina, Aruba, B.V.I., Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Cayman Islands, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Curacao, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Grenada, Guatemala, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, Mexico, Montserrat, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent, Suriname, Trinidad & Tobago, Turks and Caicos, Uruguay and Venezuela. |
“We are thrilled for the launch of HBO Max in Latin America and the Caribbean, which is the first step in bringing WarnerMedia’s Direct-to-Consumer service to consumers outside of the U.S., and around the world,” said Johannes Larcher, Head of HBO Max International. “By combining HBO with the very best of WarnerMedia’s series and film catalog, as well as locally produced content from master-storytellers in Latin America, HBO Max will offer fans in the region an unforgettable and enriching entertainment experience.”
Following the arrival of HBO Max in Latin America and the Caribbean, the HBO-branded streaming services in Europe (the Nordics, Spain, Central Europe, and Portugal) are scheduled to be upgraded to HBO Max later this year.

Unreleased HBO GO VR app for Daydream available on Play Store
Virtual reality content has sprouted out of every media orifice. 360-degree cameras have come into use between indie filmmakers, journalistic outlets and the entertainment titans.
Unfortunately, most of what you’ll see on the HBO GO VR app, available on the Google Play Store to be used on the Daydream VR platform, is not 360-degree content.
Yes, if you use HBO GO, you can get HBO GO VR. If you don’t have HBO GO, you can download the app and get a month to try it out for free. You’ll be able to view rectangular content like Game of Thrones, Westworld, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.
The big deal about this being an “unreleased” app is that it’s basically a beta test — expect bugs to hang around.

Google bundles $25 Chromecast 2015 and $69 Chromecast Ultra with 3 months of HBO Now
Turning your dumb old TV set into a relatively smart one you can wirelessly control using a connected mobile device or PC is already extremely easy and crazy cheap, courtesy of digital media dongles from Google, Amazon or Roku.
But for a limited time, two of the most popular such streaming products are available at even lower prices than usual, with some very attractive additional video on demand service also thrown in for free.
Discounted to $25 across several third-party retailers, the second-generation Chromecast is now $10 off list direct from the US Google Store as well, three months of HBO Now included. It’s almost like they are paying you to get this ageless, simple, versatile and powerful little HDMI content streamer, since normally, just the first HBO Now month would be free of charge.
The next two typically cost $15 each, letting you enjoy all the John Oliver, Westworld, Veep and Game of Thrones you can handle. Plus, new movies every week.
The special Black Friday offer is good for $69 Chromecast Ultra purchases too, and while the non-Ultra variant’s $25 deal expires Monday, November 28, you get nearly an entire extra month to sign up for a free 90-day HBO Now subscription. Only new members allowed.
