Does anybody know how to determine when a Disney+ annual subscription expires? I had been on the $7.99 ad-free monthly plan. On November 8, I switched to the annual plan to lock in the $79.99 ad-free price before the cost goes up in December. I was charged $36.13 as a "prorated fee for the...

Better a disclaimer than to censor it outright.

All the President's Men was actually initially rated R specifically because of all the f-bombs. But the movie came out less than two years after Nixon's resignation and Warner Bros. successfully argued that the movie should be accessible to schoolchildren because it had educational value for...

Commercial-free Hulu is $11.99/month and Disney+ is $6.99/month so it's not really a savings if you don't want ESPN.

Agreed.

I wish there was a bundle with just Disney+ and Hulu, without having to pay for ESPN's streaming service too.

The Hollywood Reporter has a good, in-depth look at the creative problems plaguing Disney+'s original content. Apparently Disney+ was originally pitched to the creative talent as being targeted to a wide age range, everything from G all the way to the edgiest boundaries of PG-13. Then, when...

The difference is that broadcast TV and cable TV are linear experiences with fixed timeslots. Streaming doesn't have those constraints. I don't mind the autoplay feature, and I don't even mind it being the default. But there should be a toggle to turn it off in preferences.

I am, thanks! It's an injury I've been dealing with since July. The pain comes and goes. I was really tensed up that day, for whatever reason, which always makes the pain much worse. The upside is that I tried a show I wouldn't have otherwise tried, and ended up really enjoying. Finished the...

I was in a lot of pain tonight, so I didn't want to watch anything I really cared about. I ended up trying "High School Musical: The Musical: The Series" and to my surprise, I got sucked in. Never seen the original High School Musicals, but this show is more fun than expected.

After my free year is up, this is probably going to be one of those services I subscribe to for a month or two a couple times a year. Lots of great catalog content, but the pace of rollout for original content isn't anywhere near as fast as Netflix or Prime Video or Hulu.

What's Coming to Disney+ in 2020: The big news in that video for me is that "WandaVision" has apparently been moved up from 2021 to this year.

Just registered, having taken advantage of the one year free offer for new LG OLED TV purchases. I'm going to bed, so I haven't had a chance to dig into the service itself yet. But my first complaint is that there's no option to associate devices with your account using an activation code on a...

About five years after Return of the Jedi.

I'm going to wait until after Thanksgiving to subscribe, when I'm ready to start my pre-Rise of Skywalker rewatch of all the films, since I never bought the prequels on Blu-Ray. I'll probably build in enough time to sandwich the first season of "The Mandalorian" in between Return of the Jedi and...

"A Disney spokesperson confirmed that the ad is part of a revised licensing deal with Starz that was made in order to have certain titles available on Disney+ at launch. Customers will see a box prompting them to sign up for Starz, but there aren’t any ads within the actual Disney+ or ESPN+...

The Verizon statement says "new and existing 4G LTE and 5G unlimited wireless customers" but only says "new Fios Home Internet and 5G Home Internet customers." So I read that to mean that if you're an existing Verizon Unlimited customer, you're all set. But you have to be a new Verizon FIOS...

Agreed.

I'm on the 4 GB Verizon Wireless plan, and am an existing Verizon FIOS customer. I send those bastards hundreds each month, but no included Disney+ for me...

I don't know about the other services, but Netflix bills for any taxes/fees required by state and local governments as a separate, additional cost on the monthly invoice. There are still a relatively small number of jurisdictions that tax streaming subscription services; most of the states that...

I don't like making long-term commitments to things, so I'll inevitably end up paying far more month-to-month.

The show is about a high school production of "High School Musical" so, as Travis mentioned, the clumsy repetitiveness of the title is part of the joke. The trailer was about selling the service to today's kids and families, so I'm not surprised that they focused on the current heavy hitters...

Give me a bundle with the following and I'd drop cable tomorrow: Hulu + Live TV: $40 No Streaming Commercials: Add $4 Enhanced Cloud DVR: Add $15 Disney+: Add $6.99 ============================= Total: $65.99/mo I'm currently paying $54.99/mo for the "Action & Entertainment" package on FiOS...

There was an interview lately with Bob Iger where he basically said the 21st Century Fox acquisition was about two things: Obtaining a majority stake in Hulu, and acquiring 20th Century Fox's film library for streaming deployment. Everything else -- the Marvel characters Fox owned, the motion...

Sony owns the film rights to Spider-Man cold, and licenses the character to Marvel for Disney movies that feature him, so I would say there's very little chance that Spider-Man: Homecoming shows up on Disney+. The situation is more complicated with the Hulk; the film production rights for the...

That's what's so interesting about this: There's a reason no other streaming service has had a lineup like this before; none of the content providers have wanted to cannibalize their other revenue streams like this. Yes, Disney gets presumably a ton of subscribers at $7/month for at least part...
