If you have Apple TV HD or 4K model (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT200008) you can download the HBO Max app. Go thru the same sign in process you did for your HBO Max on iPad and you should be able to watch it on your television. Apple TV 3rd gen and older models don't offer the HBO Max app in the App Store for those devices is my understanding so you can't watch HBO Max on older Apple TV models.
