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.

There is tons of good content but very little new material. I expect they will drag out the new content as much as possible. I subscribed for 2 months & cancelled in January. I'll wait a few months & pay for another month or two. There are so many services now. I have apple tv plus for a month right now

To be honest, I'd only be subscribing for new content. If there's a Disney/Fox/Marvel/Pixar movie I love, then chances are I already own it on Blu-ray.
Maybe they'll offer some interesting older stuff that hasn't been available elsewhere already and I'll bite, but something tells me that's unlikely.

While it might be nice to see the original Star Wars movies in 4k HDR, I don't think I could watch anything other than the despecialised versions of it at this stage, especially considering how they continue to alter the movies here and there, whenever it suits them.
