Can I Cast or AirPlay Max on Sharp TV
Yes. If you prefer not to get an additional app on your Sharp TV, you can cast or AirPlay the MAX titles to the TV from your Smartphone.

To do so, you need to enable the AirPlay feature on your Roku TV.
After making the necessary arrangements, connect your Smartphone and TV to the same WiFi network. Open the Max app and sign in to your account.
