It's available now. I just signed up for HBO and Cinemax through the mydish account.
Dish is listed as a provider on HBO Max now, but I got an error.
"{"message":"Unsupported authenticatorCode dish","type":"Error","status":400,"code":0}"
EDIT: It let me through to the Dish sign in screen. After sign in I got this error:
Can’t Verify Your Subscription
Access to HBO Max is not currently available with your provider. Until then, you can keep streaming on HBO NOW.

Yeah just read elsewhere 10 day Free preview of HBO and Cinemax will be Aug 6 - 15.
I already get HBO through Prime, will cancel that and go back with Dish for convenience and of course save $3. per month.
Tried logging into the Ap on Roku. Can't verify identity. I tried several times still can't login.
Maybe I'll try a little later.
Maybe I'll try a little later.
Working here, too.
Maybe time to change this thread's title to just "HBO Back on DISH".
I am in on HBO Max, and it let me link my old HBO Max account to my DISH account and automatically canceled direct payments to HBO Max on its own. Sweet!
It linked my old account too. I didn't have an active subscription. Cancelled in May.
Wow! I have to try that because I'm currently making direct payments to HBO MAX as well. Did you sign into HBO MAX as normal then go to accounts?
For those looking for the $12 a month for a year special go to https://my.dish.com/hbomax-offer and click on Order HBO. 
I went to play.hbomax.com/login on a browser I have not logged into HBO Max with before, then clicked on Login. Then Clicked Login with my Provider, clicked Dish. It asked me to set up an account. I told it my name and used the same email address I was using before for HBO Max.For those looking for the $12 a month for a year special go to https://my.dish.com/hbomax-offer and click on Order HBO.
It asked me if I wanted to merge accounts and I said yes, it sent me an email to verify I wanted this change, put the code from the email on the website and it combined them and told me I would no longer be billed direct from HBO Max.
Very cool!
Here's something interesting I guess because Dish maybe doesn't have have the bandwidth for HBO Signature or Family on satellite, so they'll be streamed instead.
I much prefer HBO Max over Netflix but it's all up to individual taste. The only Netflix Originals I care about now are The Crown, Stranger Things and to a lesser extent, Dead To Me. I just get Netflix for a month when a new season of those come out and then I'll check out any of their recent limited series that look good at the same time.
