HBO and MAX Go through HDMI

[RichStevenson]

Ok, I Googled around about this, but came up empty.

I was excited to see these two apps since I travel and just purchased the HD dock for my Bionic. I was going to connect the dock to the TV in the hotel room. Well for some reason, they programmed the app to detect the HDMI connection and throw a message saying to disconnect it and play the movie again. Why they do that I don't really understand. From what I've read their original apps didn't have the limitation.
NetFlix doesn't have this limitation. It plays through the HDMI.

So question is, has anyone found a way to bypass this HDMI check? Probably a stretch, but figured I'd ask anyway.

Thanks

I was wondering if you ever got an answer to this?

Some apps are programed not to play through HDMI. I believe HBO is one of those apps.
