No. Hulu is US only as far as I know. Even if they launched it here it would have to be a different lineup to the US. The same way as prime video & netflix have different products between Ireland and the US. For example anything RTE, BBC or Sky have most likely wouldn't be available on the Irish & UK version

I thought there was a free trial period with Disney +, just looking at it now and it wants a payment upfront.
Im not sure I need another streaming service but I probably don't need Netflix, prime or 99% of the TV channels I have

Apologies if this has been asked before, the search function is beyond awful on Touch.

Does anyone know if there's a workaround to install Disney+ on a Philips smart TV? They're not officially compatible for reasons completely unknown to me. I've moved home to my folks for the duration of the current lockdown and raging I can't watch it. Don't really want to go down the road of having to buy a Chromecast/Firestick etc.

Thanks!

Has anyone managed to buy disney+ from another country using a vpn? Can be done with netflix but don't think it can be done with disney+. So far I have been unable to do it.

Anything new and decent for adults beside the Manadalorian?
Obviously Mando is for kids as well but even something like that?

Not a huge amount....maybe the right stuff?
I have heard it is fairly decent.

I personally love gravity falls it's a kids show but very funny.

I would think a lot of the more adult stuff will go to their new star service which you get as part of Disney plus from Feb.

At the time of the announcement that there was confusion about Ireland and the U.K. getting the STAR section because the Disney suits kept referring to Continental Europe.

So is Ireland definitely getting STAR?

And do we know what content is affected by Sky’s broadcast rights?

No it’s not clear, Disney investor presentation mentioned “continental Europe” and showed a map missing U.K. and Ireland but a separate Fact Sheet mentioned U.K. getting a (substantial) price increase which would be difficult to sell without the inclusion of Star. There has been no definitive clarification from Disney either way but some media sources have apparently been told by Disney directly that Star will indeed launch in the U.K. and if it launches there it will almost certainly launch here too.

As for rights issues, the affected content is 20th Century Studios films, for which Sky has the first run pay window - no idea how long for. Most of the other stuff mooted for Star is airing on the Disney-owned Fox U.K. channel here. Sky will be losing its pay tv window on Walt Disney Pictures stuff in the new year but Disney+ already has all of that anyway.

Has anyone ever tried signing up to Disney+ Hotstar from India? It's it any good. Only €16.70 for a year

Yes. I bought 12 months last year through the UK saving an extra 10 euros compared to the euro price. I also bought a couple of months from USA at the time of launch

You haven't tried argentina or India then, they cheaper but impossible to bypass.

Gravity Falls
Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse (seriously, it's hilarious, also the Mickey Mouse series in the same style)
Agents of SHIELD (it does take about half the first season to get going, but it is worth sticking with if you are in to the marvel stuff at all)
Agent Carter (also if you like Marvel stuff)
Avengers Earths Mightiest Heroes (this is its own thing, not connected to the MCU)
Ducktales (the new one is actually very good)
Star Vs Forces of Evil (storyline gets very good after first season)
Amphibia
The Owl House

Plenty of stuff on National Geographic as well. Currently watching The science of stupid with Richard Hammond. It's basically you've been framed with scientific explanations of what went wrong.

Thank you.

So Sky only affect movies? The TV series will be unaffected? That is good.

I’m very surprised that none of the U.K. media outlets have looked into this. The Radio Times had an article with zero doubt that U.K. was getting the full content.

We don’t really know what the “full content” is. It may and is likely to differ from country to country. Without knowing that it’s impossible to say that anything particular is “missing” due to rights issues.

As an example of what we **might** see, Fox U.K. is today showing such programmes as Bones, NCIS, and Family Guy. (Actually, that’s their full schedule for today. Really!)

will the Manadalorian ever be released on dvd??

Isn’t that all they ever show?

If there is money to be made then Disney will do it. I'd hazard a guess that they would licence it out to other TV companies first.

I did forget American Dad!

And they do show other things...sometimes....

Anyway, this should remove any ambiguity as to whether Star is launching in the UK (and presumably here) next month. And yes Family Guy is on it.

Got an email this morning as well with the same announcement so certainly looks like we're getting it

How much was it when you got it (24), have it in my wishlist & would most likely still buy for when wifi goes down etc

mrcheez

Not sure if asked already, but is the price going up from €6.99 / month?

I pay by Three credit so not sure what happens in that situation, unless it's automatically increased in next monthly payment

My answer was going to be $4.99 but I checked my email to see exactly when I bought them.

I paid $9.99 each for 6 seasons.

I must have been high or something. How I don’t know.

DeadWeight

Definitely gonna keep disney plus now!

Clareman

This is a brilliant addition, I've been looking at my subscriptions, Netflix is about to get the heave-ho and Disney was touch and go to get renewed (got the yearly sub) but with this I think I'll keep it.

RocketRaccoon

What happens to the yearly sub when this launches next month? I assume there will be no raise in price until renewal time.
