Any reason why the the Mandalorian only has 2 episodes?

Is it a restriction on the trial version?

As much content that is on it, It really is as good as I was expecting after spending the day mostly browsing to see what is there. Saying that there is enough to keep young kids happy and entertained over the coming weeks for sure.

I know people are seting up 'families' here but are there any restrictions on users accessing content using 4 different devices on different IP addresses? Will that be monitored?

You can have four different IP addresses. If only allowed one then you couldn't watch it on a moblie device or take it on holidays. Not only can you have different ip addresses but they can be from different countries too

7 day trial period perhaps.

I've just been sent a 7 day trial period.. I'll have a look..but tbh...I have the marvel series on Blu-ray... I've already seen Mando.... Pixar movies I could act out now ...so maybe national geographic might be worth the look

Because Disney either don't care, or are tonedeaf to the reality of the situation, IMO. This show has been out and available on the high seas for a good 4 months by now. There can't be many Star Wars fans in the UK and Ireland who have faithfully waited this long to watch The Mandalorian on D+, and are now going to watch it weekly according to Disney's schedule.

Sure there will be casual or new fans in the D+ subscribers who will watch those first 2 episodes and tune in from then on, but IMO Disney should have put up all 8 episodes for launch today.

They are offering a 7 Day free trial: https://www.disneyplus.com/
Of course that free trial only went up today, after the €59.99 offer expired.

It's on disney US right now if you have VPN or smart DNS. Many VPN companies offer a 7 day trial. Or you can wait for July

Is it just Sky Q boxes that have the Disney+ app integrated? I have it but my sister can’t find it on her box - think hers is a HD one... i dunno...

They have a Samsung TV but not sure how old... Maybe 3yrs max... Do Samsung have the app avail to download?

I prefer weekly shows. Binge watching some shows removes the anticipation and enjoyment. Looking foreword to watching The Mandalorian weekly

So my LG TV does support the app - first frustration, and then I follows its recommendation to use another streaming device option and try my chrome cast - IT DOESNT WORK WITH CRHOMECAST!?! Ffs...

Only sky Q. You are better off not using it through sky Q because they can't broadcast in as good quality. Sky Q does not have HDR. One of the biggest selling points about the Disney Plus is that a large selection of the movies are in HDR

I agree in general with shows, but just feel differently about The Mandalorian considering the cat is out of the bag this 4 months.

The online discussion and fandom around shows like Lost, Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones as each episode aired, that was a big part of the enjoyment of those shows and their successful runs. Binge watching does not lend itself to that at all, as not all viewers are watching the same episode within 24-48 hours of airing. With the weekly airings, there's far more time and space to let events breath, and really get into discussion and theories.

Anyway, I've gone wildly off topic now. Cheers for chiming in with your own views.

I used be a serial downloader of media, whether it's TV as it airs in America, movies as they find their way online or newly released albums. With all the modern streaming platforms now available and the amount of content out there I've pretty much stopped entirely. I always said I would too.

Big Star Wars fan but have waited for this. I'm sure there is a very large portion of the general public who isn't going out of their way to get their hands on media before it comes available.

Same mostly. If it’s available to me within reason then I’ll get it legitimately and am subscribed to near all of them at this stage. The only show left that I still download hooky is Billions as I’m not allowed put a dish on the house.

It should work with a Chromecast.

Any sign of Panasonic adding this to their smart TVs?

channelsurfer2

I downloaded it and signed up for the free trial. Not much on it for me that I can't get from "other sources". I will stick to Netflix.

Getting past everybodies technical difficulties and the 'I'm better than everybody because I have a VPN' posts, it was really nice to open the app today with my 2 year old Son and introduce him to all of these classics from my childhood and further. It's grand streaming online and using put locker and the likes, but it's a better feeling having it all there and being surprised by what you see. Day One, worth the sixty quid already

There is SO MUCH stuff on this. I don't really know where to start.

Love the content on this so far.
I watched a lot of the Pixar shorts.
I love gravity falls as well!
Retro wise I love the xmen cartoon too.

Seems a bit odd only putting up the first two mandalorian eps
