Cancelled +, wasn't worth it in end

I think it's worth paying for a month every six months or so. You can blitz whatever new shows they release & catch up on new movies added.

There isn't a single movie on Disney Plus that I haven't seen before but it was nice to watch all the Star Wars movies in 4K HDR. I'm now ready to watch the last star wars film in the cinema.

I've cancelled my subscription after two months

Netflix I understand because there's enough good stuff there as well as enough new stuff to make it a permanent keep

Amazon Prime though I haven't seen much on it at all worth seeing never mind a keeper[/QUOTE]

It's grand when you get it for free from Eir.

The launch date has moved a week to the 24th march

Anyone know if the 4 concurrent screens will work like Netflix and you can share out?

In the US version you can have 7 profiles on the account with 4 screens allowed to be used at the same time

Do they all have to be at same location is question?

No. 4 screens at the same time. Remember lots of people will be using phones or tablets while on the go.

deal with sky seems to be happening

Doesn't cut it for my. Lots of content on Disney Plus is in HDR. Sky Q still has no HDR capability. I still pay separately for Netflix bec Sky Q boxes can't handle HDR

You do know that you can use Netflix independently of sky if you subscribe to them that way right? Depending on packages you can save by taking Netflix from sky and then just use it on other devices.
I'm assuming this Disney deal will be structured along the same lines, a slight saving to take it in a bundle from sky.

You need the 4 screen pack for HDR on Netflix



I'm cancelling sky Q. Costing 107 per month / 1284 per year for everything except sports. I can get Netflix, Prime Video. Disney plus, Hulu, & HBO all for less than half what I pay Sky.. All HD at no extra cost. All Multi room at no extra cost & most have 4K HDR. Free to air satellite can give me all the BBCs, ITVs, Irish channels & many more free of charge. It's definitely time to cut the cord with Sky

As well as being cheaper than Sky, you can pick and mix those subs on a month to month basis depending on what you want to watch, easy way to save a few more bob every month

That's exactly what I plan. There are lots more aps too. Showtime, AMC, Britbox, Cinemax, TCM, Starz, Crackle, TNT, Tubi, ABC, Fox NOW, Apple TV, & HBO max is launching shortly. Get 2 or 3 apps per month on top of Netflix & Prime video. Chop & change the 2 or 3 apps every month or two.. There is a bigger & better world out there at a fraction the price of sky.

Disney+ in Ireland & the UK is likely not to get The Simpsons on it because of it's current deals with RTÉ, Sky & Channel 4.

Yeah you are right there idcg. There are some other issues too which relate to content being provided elsewhere whilst not offered on Disney+.

The Spectacular Spiderman which belongs to Marvel Studios is shown on a linear kids channel called Pop Max in the UK. There is a listing for the show on Pop Max's official website. I am not sure what is to happen with that show. Although I would assume here that The Spectacular Spiderman would not be shown on Disney+ until the company that owns Pop Max either puts a halt to their transmission deal or let their current contract run out for the show in it's entirety with prior agreement from Disney in future.

Sky have some TV channels like Fox UK, various channels from National Geographic & Disney and BT Sport ESPN available on it's EPG.

Some of Fox's shows also have a linear free to air broadcast deal with ITV in the UK. Family Guy, American Dad, The Cleveland Show & Bob Burgers are currently shown on ITV2. This free to air deal with ITV was done when Rupert Murdoch was the owner of both Sky & Fox a few years before he had officially sold Sky over to Comcast since last year along with most of his Fox assets to Disney. The previous free to air deal for these animated shows from Fox was made with BBC Two & BBC Three before BBC Three became an online service on BBC iPlayer & Youtube for other countries worldwide including here in Ireland. A separate Pay TV deal for those animated shows is currently in place with Fox UK. That separate deal for the shows still remains unchanged to the present day.

TV shows like Marvel's Agent's of Shield is also shown on RTÉ2 in Ireland & on Channel 4 in the UK. A lot of the Marvel Studios movies have been shown on RTÉ2; more recently they had shown Doctor Strange & Guardians of The Galaxy Vol.2 on Saturday nights for the past fortnight. The Sky Cinema Channels, Sky Store, Sky Go & ITV have access to those movies in the UK.

At a guess; I would say that this would mean that Disney+ would be very much a watered down service in Ireland & the UK when compared to what is offered in the U.S. & in other countries that are to get it as a subscription.

Might watch the 90s Spiderman on this when it comes out over here. Good show if I remember.

X-Men was ... Alright :pac:

No sub for me if the older Simpsons episodes are missing.

Shame about The Simpsons. It was always going to be something that would be a very good reason to sub. Go back and watch any episode when you want.
Knocks points off Disney+ now.

That won't just be an issue for Ireland and the UK i would imagine Disney should be OK with a most of the own stuff and knowing when deals end around the world however they only took over Fox late last year and Fox would have had long term deals with TV companies around the world that Disney have no control over when those deals end.

The 59.99 gives you four users, I thought I’d read you can have more than that. Does anyone here know how many they are planning to let users have in Ireland or is that four it?

Every Disney Plus account can stream to four devices simultaneously and can create seven user profiles for different members of the household. Each account can pick an avatar of a Disney, Pixar, Marvel or Star Wars characters, with more than 200 avatars available

Above is Disney USA so no difference for here. The only confirmed difference seems to be to no Simpsons in Ireland
