Yes, you do have to uninstall HBO Now first.
I followed the directions at this site:

Hey there:
Can you send me the instructions you used to install HBO on your Fire Stick?
I've tried it, but it's never worked. I wonder, though, if it's because I need
to delete HBO from my Amazon apps.
Thanks,Dave

So today is August 1. The HBO Now App on my Fire TV has disappeared,
replaced with an App Titled HBO, as Joe predicted. However, when I click on
it, it still opens HBOMax, with all of their extra content (which I have a
right to access via my HBO subscription on Xfinity).

I'm glad the downloading worked for you. I've tried to install HBO Max onto
my Fire Stick three times and come up empty each time.
Oh, well.

I agree the chaos is annoying. However, as of this writing I am able to
stream everything through my very cheap Amazon Fire stick. Despite
conversation here, still not sure if my “side loading” (that is the term I
needed to know) of HBOMax will continue to work after 7/31. If not, I

And as far as I can tell, as of August 1, HBO subscribers on cable/satellite
providers that don't have an HBO Max deal will lose their ability to stream HBO
-- they won't be able to sign in to the HBO Max app, and I've seen no
indication that the rebranded HBO app will allow TV provider logins.
Okay, so I'm going to take a stab at this based on this article:
https://help.hbonow.com/Answer/Detail/11, which is as clear as mud.
If you subscribe to HBO Max but use the HBO Now app, on August 1, your HBO
Now app will become HBO. At that point, you'll be tied down to basically
only the HBO stuf
I have a HBO Max subscription directly with HBO -- I got the annual
deal before launch. I can use those credentials to log into HBO Now
on my Roku TVs.

I noticed that, but the original instructions I got seemed to suggest that
we would still be able to access the Max content even without going through
the HBO Now App, but not sure how to do that.
