How to Watch HBO GO on Apple TV/AirPlay 2-TV

HBO GO is a highly popular digital streaming service in the United States. Lately, it was discontinued and replaced by HBO Max in 2020 after it collaborated with Warner Media. Hence, you need to rely on HBO Max to stream HBO content from the US. But, HBO GO is still available in a few Asian territories like Singapore. So, to access HBO GO outside of Asia, you need to use a VPN. And if you want a big-screen experience with HBO GO, you can opt for the AirPlay feature from your iPhone, iPad, and Mac to stream it on an AirPlay-2-supported Smart TV.
