Installed the Disney+ app on my Amazon Fire TV (1st Gen) today and logged in with a fresh account - no problems here at all.

Can someone confirm if there is a 'disney junior' linear channel that can be streamed....or is everything simply SVOD?

Seems to be all VOD. Can't spot any live 24/7 feeds.

I think the same. Also not all the Disney Jr content may be available. In the US Sofia the first and Sheriff Callie aren't yet available as other providers (Netflix and Hulu) have the rights.

Noticing a bit hitching while watching avatar in 4k. Not sure if its the app or the ps4 pro struggling with 4k

Zepanda66: Anyone else finding the audio a tad quiet across all content? On netflix I usually have the sound bar set to 7 or 8 but on disney+ I'm needing to bump it up to 10.

Same here. Bumping up the volume by an extra 5 on my LG tv.

The Sony and surround setup in the lounge was fine, but the apple TV and Sony in the bedroom in definitely quieter than Netflix, which in turn is quieter than YouTube :)

Here's hoping the Disney+ app on Nvidia Shield supports Dolby Atmos audio on the 2017 model.

Amazon works but Netflix doesn't. I understand the new 2019 version supports Atmos on Netflix but, sadly, not the 2017 version.

Disney+ working well on the Shield. No Dolby Atmos (outputting 5.1 DD+) but this post suggests it's coming soon.

Only stereo on my lg c8 oled. Works fine thru Apple TV 4K though. Seems like this is a common issue according to reddit

Would love to know how ISPs are handling the increase in traffic tonight with the launch.

Negligible I'd expect.

Apple TV no problem, Sony tv no problem but roku 3 got screwed.

I had the roku linked to uk so Disney not available I rezoned it for us content but now disney and prime won’t load. I’m suspecting it’s a region lock thing but can’t get the apps to load.

Guess this may be the push I need to shelve the roku and replace with a newer box or upgrade the tv in the back room.

Enjoying the silver surfer series.

Edit - watched mandolorian, visually great but thought it quite slow to get going.

clinty: Have installed the app on my Sony Android TV via the Play store and currently watching Avengers :)

It's not really an afternoon off if I'm upgrading my work laptop - is it? ;)

Is HDR available? or maybe not on the trial version .

I tried a few different scenarios last night. My TV (Sony XF90) didn't go into HDR mode when playing through the built-in Chromecast or native app.

But it played in Dolby Vision through the Xbox One app so I stuck with that.

Installed on ATV4K last night hooked to a Sony OLED (A8F) and confirmed that Dolby Vision is working for titles that support it. I only have a 5.1 audio setup so haven't tried Atmos but I read somewhere yesterday that it can be hit or miss depending on your equipment. I watched half of a Geoff Goldblum show and the trailer for the Mandalorian and a bit pf Rogue One, all looked superb. I'll start watching the mandalorian properly later in the week.

I noted on my Samsung KS8000 2016 model the Disney plus App on occasion lost Audio sync when initially spinning up a program this was random and I'm running a hardwired connection.

They still have some teething issues to sortout i'm sure.

Other than that the picture was great in 4K and with HDR active.
