Done With Netflix? Try These 7 Cheaper Alternatives
The monthly cost of a Disney+ subscription is less than even basic Netflix, and you can cut it down even further with an annual plan. That said, Disney+ doesn't have the vast, dynamic content library of a Netflix or Hulu, so it may not be a great option for a single-service home. If you want more content, bundle Disney+ with Hulu and ESPN+. You'll pay $13.99 a month for...

  • Isn't it False Advertising to have pull content on the ondisneyplus Disney website?
    That seems like the only place to officially browse the full Disney plus catalog that doesn't require you to log in (I didn't have my password remembered on this computer). I would assume that this is the site that new subscribers would browser before purchasing a subscription. Going directly to disneyplus.com only allows you to see select entries without logging in or buying a plan. Source: 11 months ago
  • Signed up for Disney+ trial through verizon but can't access hulu
    Thanks so much for replying! I logged into disneyplus.com and got this. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Star+ and Disney+ combo: 4 simultaneous screens each or in total?
    Each. You can compare plans by scrolling down here. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Vivaldi and Passwords
    I've imported the passwords from Firefox, and found that for some sites ( Reddit ) it was able to auto fill in the passwords. However other sites ( disneyplus.com ) it didn't put in the username/password. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Turkish Disney+ subscription canceled suddenly in the middle of the billing cycle
    You did use the play store? Or via disneyplus.com, cause via disneyplus.com it doesnt work. Only via play store. Source: about 1 year ago

  • New to Roku after finally cutting the cable cord, 2 questions.
    "Question 2: I bought two Roku Ultras" - You activate both Rokus on the same account on roku.com. I've had a Roku Ultra for some time and recently bought a Roku Express 4K for the guest bedroom for visiting relatives. When I activated the new Roku on my account it automatically duplicated all my apps on to the new one. But test each app, a few required me to log in on the new Roku. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Any fellow coders out there familiar with ripping encrypted HLS streams? I've found a site that is using every protection in the book to prevent stream ripping and would love to chat
    Can something similar be done on roku.com? I tried following your steps for this video https://therokuchannel.roku.com/watch/67ca18fb4816521db4f188855569c21e but I noticed the type is not hls but mp4. There was a file that started with index instead of ending with index but much more complex then the sample video used in the example above. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Just got this 50” roku sharp tv and tried setting up last night only to be met with this message everytime i try to click a channel. It’s saying there’s an “excellent” internet and wifi connection and yet nothing works on it. i have tried everything in the book including 2 factory resets i’m lost
    Did you reset the device & re-set it up on roku.com to be 'owned' by you? Source: over 1 year ago
  • No Search Bar?
    Certain features will be missing in unsupported countries. You can see our list of supported countries by navigating to roku.com and trying the county selector option at the bottom right hand of the page. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Unauthorized Roku charges through my Paypal account.
    Easier said than done with an elderly parent, but have your mom go to roku.com, reset her password, and give you the password. Then you should be able to go in and remove any payment method (presumably your PayPal), cancel any subscriptions, etc. Source: over 1 year ago
