I've watched about 4 movies in 4K so far on an Oled LG and the picture quality was superb. I've noticed the volume is a lot lower than Netflix though?

Yeah I've noticed that about the volume on my tablet and ps4

Seems quite low

Unearthly · 29-03-2020 8:18am

I use the firestick, and no issues. Picture and sound top class

Watch the Mandalorian on a regular 1080p TV and then watch it on a 4k one, it actually looks far better on the 1080p one.

The original trilogy though is meant to look amazing, people are saying the Plus version is the best version now.

It's all down to local hardware setups though, it's virtually impossible to compare unless everyone is on the same set up. HDR looks better on mine, particularly noticeable with the new Alladin movie, it looks great. Different TVs handle and process 4k, HD and HDR all differently.

When watching Netflix I'm not bothered with HDR, I'm happy enough to watch it via the app on Sky, the HDR picture can look worse, like you experience with the Mandalorian.

The opening theme for Miles of Tomorrowland is bangin.

They said they dropped the bandwidth to avoid congestion by at least 25%, so I'd say the 4k got hit harder than the HD.

The 1080 looks worse too than it did originally, looks more compressed.

How many epsidoes of this are available to watch now? I can only get 3

He's saying he has no cast icon at all. As in he can't cast in any quality whatsoever. Zero quality. Because he can't cast! Same as myself.

Anyone know why this is the case? I read here and there people are getting it to work with Chromecast. I have the original Chromecast, is that why it's not working for me and a few others?

The Nal · 30-03-2020 11:23am

Ooh thats for the reminder to cancel. Free trial up tomorrow.

The Mandalorian staggered release is nonsense from Disney. Staggering episodes that were released 4 months ago is just asking for piracy.

S.M.B. · 30-03-2020 11:40am

Surely if you were going to pirate them you'd have pirated them four months ago?

When people finish the third episode and the 4th isn't available yet on Disney+ but is via a torrent that takes 3 minutes to download........

Buttros · 30-03-2020 11:49am

I was a little annoyed when I heard it was weekly but now I dont mind the weekly drop of the episodes. Something to look forward to at the weekend. Not as if I have any sport to watch. Great show so far.

kerplun k · 30-03-2020 12:03pm

Anyone know if Handy Manny will be added?

Having problems with D+. Nothing will play all day. Logged in ok. Movie selected and it starts to load but then nothing. I was asked to confirm activation earlier which I did. I switched off and on wifi but no difference. Any suggestions? Netflix is working fine.

I get a message that its about to expire. My card is out next January so I'd imagine computer just sees that the card is out before next payment is due and doesnt take in to account that the next payment is a year away . They should really set it to just remind you when its in to the final month.

jelutong · 01-04-2020 6:10pm

If I subscribe using Google Play can I also watch it on an iPad?

Porthallian · 01-04-2020 6:13pm

If someone signs up in another country, can you log into their account here? Or would a VPN be needed?

My buddy in NYC was able to login into my account (free trial version) and we're gonna get a joint account.
But might be safer buying mine here.

- He wanted to buy it there with some ESPN package.

Should be fine. My sister lives in the UK and she bought it but i'm able to watch in Ireland with no issues.

The Sky Q app is atrocious. Lots of random errors during playback, random crashes and random logouts

splashthecash · 03-04-2020 9:56am

What is everyone's general take on Disney+ after the first week or so? I've used it a couple of times and the kids certainly have used it - there is quite a few things I'd start watching for a few mins for nostaglia. Some of the national geographic stuff is very good

ILikeBoats · 03-04-2020 10:05am

Using it mostly through firestick. The little one loves it and the huge variety of content. It does black out quite often - the screen will just go black but sound will remain. Easy fix to just come out of the show and then resume it, still annoying though

Streams fine no crashing or buffering issues and not had any logouts
Been using it every day since March 24th

harr · 03-04-2020 10:29am

No issues on sky Q here , in fact for me it’s probably the more stable of the devices I am watching it on.

Some very good stuff on it and brilliant for kids. The big thing for Disney will be sustaining additional quality material at a decent pace. If by the end of the first year there isn't much new stuff on it I'd imagine a lot will start to cancel.

charlietheminxx · 03-04-2020 10:38am

It's been working perfectly for me with my LG smart tv. The only issue I've found is the low sound.... so when you go from Disney + to Netflix the volume is blasting!

A lot of kids will endless rewatch quality movies and shows so that might now be as big an issue as it would for older audiences

All grand kids give it 10/10.

Some good stuff but the content is way to limited.

Probably keep it for a month or two and get rid.

Seems to be just mine so.. it’s been a complete disaster for me. Luckily the ATV app is a lot more stable for me

princemuzzy · 03-04-2020 2:30pm

ill keep it purely because of the movies are timeless and we will watch over and over and the planned tv releases are interesting

however the staggered release of the Mandalorian is stupid with piracy been so rife if people are willing to pay for the product just ****ing give it to them.

fryup · 03-04-2020 10:43pm

so for me to get disney+ i need to download it on to my smart tv and pay and away i go ?

They are doing it because people *are* willing to pay for the product, and they don’t want those only interested in the Mandalorian to sign up, binge watch and cancel before seven days are out.

iguana · 04-04-2020 10:18am

I am so insanely disappointed that it only has the 1st season of Ducktales. I logged on this morning to see if the new season 3 episodes would be added or if I'd have to wait until tomorrow. Only to discover that it doesn't even have season 2! That's nonsense! Anticipation of new Ducktales episodes was one of the few highlights left in my life!!!!!!

If you haven't watched the Ducktales reboot it really is excellent.

lee_baby_simms · 04-04-2020 10:47am

I take it that the 4K/UHD streams are not available in the same way Netflix have recently throttled their service?

I'm using chromecast too with zero issues. It's a lot easier to trust that an android or iPhone app will work with a chromecast as opposed to being reliant on your TV manufacturers stand alone app.

I can't get Chromecast to work. No casting option appears on the app, and it's appearing for all other apps. it's one of the very first Chromecast models.

And your phone is on WiFi not data? (only ask because I did this myself before)

Chromecast symbol is there for mine (android), on 1st and 2nd gen.
