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...

  • Max launch, FAQ, Info & Details.
    Does anyone know for how long the legacy HBO Max app/web service will be still available. I'm talking about https://play.hbomax.com/. Source: 11 months ago
  • green bar flashing on and off in full screen video?
    So it definitely happens on the HBO Max app from the play store, but does NOT happen when I stream from play.hbomax.com in fullscreen...weird stuff...but also I don't remember ever seeing anything about a 480p limit from streaming apps, and the HBO Max app is definitely higher resolution than that, it looks exactly the same from the app to the website...thanks for the tip though, I guess I'll just use the websites... Source: about 1 year ago
  • How can I watch this show?
    Or are you accessing from some xfinity-specific HBO site and not https://play.hbomax.com/ ? Source: about 1 year ago
  • HBO Max, I have some questions.
    They no longer have a free trial directly but you can still get a free trial through Amazon or Hulu. You can also watch some free episodes by going directly to https://play.hbomax.com. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Why you have the option for just HBO without max for the same price for max?
    I can't access HBO Now, https://www.hbonow.com shows a "404 Not Found" error and https://play.hbonow.com shows some random HTML. Source: over 1 year ago

  • 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: 10 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: 12 months ago
  • Star+ and Disney+ combo: 4 simultaneous screens each or in total?
    Each. You can compare plans by scrolling down here. Source: 12 months 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: 12 months 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
