Disney+ new streaming announced officially

[Zirconia]

First full film last night and no buffering issues but 4k and it is a bit off with the throttling. Watched a few of the shorter programs now and all good with no buffering, it is on an Apple TV on BT network.

Yeah I get some bandwidth-restriction-style picture downgrade on occasion on the steams - fairly obviously so as I'm using an OLED which makes anything less than a good picture look pretty dreadful.

This is on a 350Mbps connection (that is rock solid - usually speed tests around 380Mbps) so must be throttling on Disney's end.

Disney have already said they are. I was expecting it and picked on Incredibles 2 last night. It is a 2K DI but down on what I expected, a sniffer looking at the router throughput says 10mb/s or so. Apple still running their 4k at 26+ last I checked.

Might leave it till they up the rates still to dig into the others.

Most probably a stupid question. Can you download from Disney+ onto a USB and watch it on a TV that has no internet connection? So my kids can watch stuff when we are in the middle of nowhere.

The missus loves Disney crap and finally succumbed and subscribed the other day.

Ideal for us; keeps us apart while we’re stuck in the house as I’ll just walk out the room as soon as any singing starts.

She watched The Lion King yesterday, and is currently watching some other rubbish called Moanu or something.

I’ll probably watch the Cars films at some point and maybe some of the old Herbies.

Not used it myself.

Not a stick but an option?

You cant download onto a USB as that would allow people to share stuff allover the world.

You can download for offline watching but you need a connection and the app in the first place.

Ok, Star Wars people. The Clone Wars, on Disney+ there's a 2007 animated film and an animated series from 2008 to now. Does the series follow on from the film, or are they separate/different things?

I think it fits in between Ep 2 "Attack of the Clones" and Ep 3 "Revenge of the Sith"

Watch the clone wars film before the series. And yes, set between Ep2 and 3.

There was another clone wars cartoon that was on Cartoon Network in 2003 and I was hoping that this would be on Disney + but it isn’t.

And neither is One if Our Dinosaurs is Missing. Which I am bitter about.

Wreak it Ralph breaks the Internet appeared yesterday, so I guess more content is being drip-fed onto the app to prevent binging on the free trial, couldn't see a section for recenty added though, it would be handy just to check what's 'new' (even if it is old new!)

I found this last month or so, unofficial, there is a FAQ to say who they are if provenance is required (based in the UK I think)

Pretty certain Ralph breaks the internet was on there from the start

I’m hoping that as this service has Nat Geo content that all the Car SOS series will be available at some point.
Would be nice to get the new ones too.

We had a good search for it, couldn't find it, doesn't mean it wasn't there though

Download onto your phone and plug the phone into the TV. Works great with Netflix and Amazon Prime, but can’t see why Disney+ would be any different.
