    Wouldn’t necessarily mean there’s an Android TV app. The TV Play Store is very sparse.

    Can't believe the mods don't block it to be honest. Streaming links, vpn and geo-blocking workarounds etc all banned on boards. This is just as "illegal". Well, not illegal but against terms and conditions etc which boards doesnt like facilitating.

    Some mods must partake in it themselves so they turn a blind eye to it.

    The current Disney life app is on Android TV, so Disney + will sure have an Android TV app too

    If you join now do they debit you now and the clock starts ticking (assume not) or will the debit occur 24/3?

    Disney+ supports LG TVs from 2016 or later with WebOS 3.0 and up.

    From reading that I'm unlikely to be able to get the service without an additional purchase.

    TV is 2013 Samsung
    Mobile phones/ipads are a few years old (well one phone was a birthday gift last year ...but it's cheap as chips Motorola) - all working fine so upgrade isn't necessary (unless the need for Disney+ somehow outweighs the need to carry on life as normal)

    Fire stick, cheap and works perfect for all these apps, you tv just need a hdmi port

    I have a brand new smart LG and still have a fire stick installed

    Just to the users in my family the account is setup but there is literally nothing to do when you login . I would like to have the profiles setup somewhat before sending info as my personal info is there. If you can drop me a pm with your mobile number and I get a WhatsApp group setup .

    You wont be able to login and access account until March 24th

    Reminder the max number of devices you can stream same time is 4 devices so make sure your family plan is no more than 4 persons

    Yes you can create max 7 different profiles on a account but only 4 devices can stream same time meaning 4 persons max same time can stream and each person never use on more than 1 device

    Disney also are looking at stopping sharing of username and password if you not aware about this
    Disney have the technology to monitor this
    They are monitoring its use and may ban accounts at any stage if they see it been abused
    At the moment they not applied any bans but that may change

    Yep I am aware of how many accounts . Thanks for the other info I was aware of it but good that everyone knows . I suppose we all know and we just have to roll the dice with and see what happens .

    They aren't going to ban anyone, if they do implement stricter account sharing measures (doubtful in the first couple of years) they will probably give fair warning - like what Spotify does.

    I haven't seen anything about them actively stopping account sharing. This article from late 2019 (https://www.theverge.com/2019/11/12/20960332/disney-plus-password-sharing-streaming-accounts) makes no mention of them actively looking to stop people, just that they obviously know it will happen and could jump in.
    I mentioned

    Yes Disney are fully aware sharing is done and for now will tolerate its use for now but if they feel it will affect their business they have the technology in place right now to spot sharing outside of normal family sharing situations.

    It's in the Disney terms and conditions that you will agree not share your account information with others
    Under passwords and Security

    Same with Netflix, HBO Max etc - I wouldn't worry about it, they won't enforce when they are trying to get users onto the platform.

    And there we are. Moderators happy with this, but mention a torrent and the blue lights start flashing.

    Yep and I'm pretty sure most mods on boards know how stupid some of the rules are, not much you or any of the others can do about it.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.
