Disney Plus

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

As in recommend Disney +

Seems to be OK, HD streaming you don't have to pay extra for. The layout is good, and the content is OK especially if you have kids at home. Worth trying the free trial anyway.

Major downside is no mature content, which seems to be housed on Hulu in the states.

Disney plus is dreadful, I got at as a like Star Wars.

Out of all the streaming platforms it has by far the worst content and least diverse. It’s all just kid movies. They spent all this money on content when they brought fox but refuse to show it as it’s not family friendly. Just locked it up in the old Disney vault so you can’t watch it anywhere else

Also they have ruined the Simpsons by changing the aspect ratio and trying to stretch the early seasons to 16:9

Personally I don’t like Marvel but unless you are a Star Wars or Marvel fan do not bother

 

[Papa Juggs]

Doesn’t Netflix do this?

Yes of course.

The states version of this comes with Hulu and ESPN (though you pay extra for it.)

Have enjoyed it so far

Beginning of the end of Hulu original programming. Once critical darlings like The Handmaid's Tale end their run I suspect.

They claim that they are going to increase investment in Hulu. Just got no plans to make it international

anyone else experience streaming issues where the video stops but the audio continues?

I think Hulu will become where Disney put "adult" content from the vault. In practice part of Disney+ for a dollar or two extra but different branding. Comcast is selling their minority share and starting their own streaming service.

Not.....yet

Yeah I agree that’s the plan but there are no plans to expand Hulu out of the USA

 

[OhhhhhCyril]

Outside of getting it for Star Wars, can anyone recommend getting this ?

It'll take a while for all the Fox and Hulu overseas rights deals to expire.

The marvel shows starting up soon.

If you have kids it's a no brainer.

Same with Disney as they had a lot of content tied up. There were things people expected like Family Guy and American dad that aren’t on a streaming platform here at all

So far so good, the smart tv app works like a breeze. Quite reasonable pricing too I’d say compared to other options.

Tried watching some Simpsons this evening and I must say the full widescreen took some getting used to.

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Signed up for a 7 day trial.

I want to take off auto renew but it said it can't be done through the app I have to go to the Disney website and to go my account details and turn off auto renew.

So I jumped on my PC,put in my log in details but it was prompting me to sign up again when I already have what's going on there?
