Two months in Disney+ still has major problems in South Africa

[neoassasin]

I had major issues in the beginning but all seems good at the moment. I'm using the app on an LG CX TV and in the beginning I couldn't paly 4K. Now 4K works and I don't really have the issue with buffering. My only gripe is the subtitles as mentioned, the LG app has no trailers and the app also doesn't show the quality of the content before watching.

Disney Hotstar, shall be now named Disney hotshct...
Service delivery were/and is still abysmal... Now I wonder how much Disney paid the influenzas to promote the terrible app, prior to launch?
I'd say, leave the Disney streaming for a year, to sort itself out, if it is not fixed by then, then it will be never fixed.

AppleTV, no buffering on a 50Mbps line, but the app never saves what I've watched.

Thing is, Netflix was early into the game, so had much time to iron out these bugs...

They were early as in 1997 early.
The companies that fought against streaming and tried everything to prevent it from happening.
And only after that, did they decide to join the game late.

They didn't start offering streaming until 2007. Prior to that they did everything via post.

Opposite experience for me. Started off really well on my LGTV and in the last few weeks it’s all gone for a ball of crap.

They really need to sort this out.

4k Miibox?

Do they offer 4k? I thought it was max 1080p and maybe HDR?

UI does suck though as well as content discovery.

Emby/Jellybean much better

Netflix, Youtube 4k no issues on MiBox

Disney on the same box. 1080 only. No 4k. Irks me....

Quick q from someone who has never bothered with multi channel audio over stereo - is it still a thing? Genuinely curious. Maybe I should try it one day.

Yeah it's a thing I mean there is even Atmos and DTS X

And then people buy sound bars, but all the speakers are in one place?

People also buy AVRs, you also get multi speaker soundbars

So you are going to replace a crap tv with another crap one. You must be really intelligent.

The buffering drives me crazy. I dont have the same issue on Netflix.

to be fair you could be on a farm and be connected via a 2G network and Netflix will still work. All these companies should stop harassing Netflix and get the fundamentals with the servers, app and customer support right before they launch these half-baked apps, no use having the content if it's going to be a bigger hassle than pirating.

Seems the solution is to use the US version of the app and change your geo location to Australia so you can get the star content.

Won't work, as the app signs in with your phone not your email address

The US version use your email address.

doesnt matter how good there servers are , connectivity etc is.If you have crap developers making crap buggy apps its never going to work.Bring it back to the USA

At the very least the iPad app is finally fullscreen, it doesn't have the status bar at the top anymore.

We get buffering too. At first I thought it was our connection, but it does not buffer like this in Netflix or Prime.

Totally the same for us. 50Meg connection, so there should be no issues.

Cancelled and went with the high seas, instantantly notice the quality if far superior.

Haven't cancelled my annual sub, but do the same. I can't believe they forced me to do this. LPlex is so much better as an interface (and quality) even when I am not home.

Yeah but the SA version doesn't
