Disney+ in SA

If I could get this to work on my Apple TV. That would be great. Hmmm… might look into it this evening.

It's best to get the Disney / Hulu / ESPN bundle IMO if you're going to get Disney. A friend does it via iTunes and it's pretty easy to set up.

Can you get that bundle on the Disney+ service?

You might have to do it through Hulu. I had hulu long before Disney was a thing so I just signed up for the bundle.
 
...I see however buying itunes/play gift cards from amazon might get your account flagged and or closed.
 
Out of all the transactions for my us/other accounts this is the one FNB complains about. I had like 5 fraud smses and had to phone it through as normal. Perhaps I should go global 1 card...

note: this was for the one time payment method verification.

So now I've finished disney+ do I wait for disney+2.0?

Post the mandelorian, loki and the bad batch (barely finished it) there isn't much to watch imho. Canned d+ in favor of appletv (see, foundation) and audible subs.

That is about it, BritBox much the same, pity they don't have a Android TV app, that I could try on my UK domiciled LIT box, to see if that would make it better. But yeah ...

Sadly, and the only pbs german show I was looking for isn't even on pbs. I had to comb the seven seas for for it. (The Same Sky)
 
These are the issues I have found with South African launch if you are an existing Disney US subscriber.

1. You need to download the South African Disney plus app to access Star and subscribe to the South African version. You cannot use your existing subscription. It does mobile authentication not username and password.

BTw the Apple TV app doesn’t even allow you to register as when you enter your mobile number it says something went wrong so it only works on mobile devices haven’t tested android TV

2. If you want to continue using the US app and have an existing subscription you still need a vpn to access it. You cannot use your US login details on the South African app

This is very disappointing. South African login does not work on the Roku Disney + app either so you need to use smartdns/vpn to retain access

They’ll have to fix that somewhere down the line. Visitors from overseas are going to expect to be able to use their service.

I'm sure they will fix it. I use the US version and then I change my location to Australia I receive a message that they can see I'm traveling and they allow my to see the Australian content.

It could be more difficult to do it for South Africa, but I think will solve it.
