@Brucemeister5 they did that just to prevent it auto-deploying early - it gave them the ability to manually push the button at the time they wanted.
The apps were pushed live just before midnight, as planned. It's showing as 87MB installed on my Android device - even smaller than the discovery+ app.

We can only access TNT Sports via the HBO Max app on our Pro box even though we have the full works tv package. We need to contact BT/EE for access to all of the other stuff. I checked the NOW app and The Pitt is available which is something we planned to watch.
Re: What does the move to HBO Max for streaming TNT Sport actually mean in practice?
It's recommended that you continue to watch it in the Now TV app, whereallthe same content is still available at the same quality. If you really do want to use the HBO Max app for it, then you can request that it's added to your HBO Max profile by contacting Now TV - they control the subscription, and we cannot do this for you. They're currently only offering this service via online chat, from this screen here (live chat is only available during helpdesk hours):

@Brucemeister5 if you're saying that the channels from the TV Guide don't work, then check for software updates from the YouView menu to ensure your TV Box has the latest policy applied.
Re: What does the move to HBO Max for streaming TNT Sport actually mean in practice?
Thanks @DarrenDev . That’s fine. We will probably only watch ‘other stuff’ on the Pro box. Just as long as I can watch sport on my iPad as a second screen when necessary.
Re: What does the move to HBO Max for streaming TNT Sport actually mean in practice?
TV channels from the guide are fine. I was just checking access to the HBO app. It appears to have used the login from the Discovery+ app which uses my email address rather than my partner’s who is the account holder.
Re: What does the move to HBO Max for streaming TNT Sport actually mean in practice?
That's correct @Brucemeister5 - on first launch, the HBO Max app will attempt to use whatever account is logged into the discovery+ app. It's a one-time activity, only on the TV Box Pro and Edge.
