What are you streaming it through? And what do you think of it?

I downloaded the Android app on my phone. 

I'll use Chromecast for the family room and get the D+ app for TV in the bedroom.

 

I like the selection. Tons of Mickey cartoons, new and old. Old movies, like Bed knobs and Broomsticks. New Marvels movies, including Endgame. I'm excited to watch The Mandalorian tonight. Mupppets! Some older, cool movies like the Sandlot. 

 

The app was slow this morning to show everything but it seems to be loading now.

Days is done? Whoa...

I will be getting Disney Plus once I'm home from work,   I'll be using it off a browser and also the Xbox One.      I'll give an update once I get a chance to play with it. 

For those who have not already watched....  Disney has a 3 hour trailer showing all of their shows/movies available on day one.

I am amazed at how big the back catalogue is. Some, great, great old live action movies and Disney films.

Welcome to Disney+, where nothing can possib-lie go wrong. Uh, possibly go wrong. That's the first thing that's ever gone wrong.

 

 

EDIT: I hope they fix this egregious error quickly.

Alrighty I bought the yearly subscription,   tried it out on three different devices. 

On Xbox one it runs flawlessly , menus load quickly and everything was snappy.      Same with my Windows 10 computer using Chrome.

On my Linux machine using Firefox it wouldn't play the videos.    

Overall everything is very easy to use (my  7  year old figured it out quickly) , the interface is slick and basic and the video/audio quality seems good to me.  

It's been a bit choppy so far casting from my Andriod. I would blame overworked servers and doubt it will be an ongoing issue. 

well it's day one, of course things won't go smoothly

Mine is streaming smoothly with a mediocre internet speed with MTS.   

I don't believe however it is streaming at 4k.... I don't see anywhere that you can force it to stream at a higher resolution.  Looks 720p to me.....

Mine had been flawless so far from my Pixel to the Chromecast dongle on my TV. So much content, hard to decide where to begin, even. I'm here mostly for the Marvel content but I'm sure there'll be other stuff (Disney flicks, Simpsons) that well get use out of...

New true crime docuseries on Netflix.  The devil next door.  About the guy arrested in the 80’s accused of being Nazi war criminal Ivan the terrible.

Oh? He's been there a long time. Anything to it or are they just moving on?

Part of Bell Media purge.

I wonder who else will be effected if there's a purge

Poor Gord...he's an absolute beauty of a guy. But...high salary = first to go. Such a shame...they'll go with a young kid who's making pennies on the dollar.

On hiatus. Not officially cancelled. Releasing the actors from their contracts mean they can hire them back for cheaper $$$. They expect half will sign new deals & they'll bring in new actors for the rest.  Soaps are dying off. Only a couple left.
