I just want to watch Agents of SHIELD S06 and S07. TVNZ had the earlier seasons, but not these two, and they are not on any NZ streaming service. D+ only has S01 in NZ. Had hoped they may appear with Star, but no.

Agents of shield S1-S7 :)

This has to be the best $3 upgrade ever.

You have to login to the web interface and set your parental control filter if you want to be able to watch the likes of Family Guy, Deadpool, etc else it remains hidden by default

Or when you first open the mobile app it will ask you to confirm your profile and set age restrictions for any other profile on your account.

I went straight into Star when it appeared with the Apple TV app and thought the content offering looked a bit small

Yay, I got 24 showing now. Went into web interface, and saw edit profile as a link.
Clicked link and set to R18.

Mine told me today that it looks like I am travelling and things might be different. So far watching the orville which is great.

Hmmm, no family guy or american dad showing, and I cant find where to tell it im over 18, its not asked me. Also still showing as $6.99 a month. Think its still a US account which is somewhat limiting, but I may not bother to get that changed since its cheaper.

edit 2: Found the setting on web and it only goes to tv14, so guess thats where the problem is.

My appleTV app asked me to confirm ok to view R18 and set profile and all is well.

I was surprised by the volume of content that is 4k HDR, seems Disney have done a proper job of launching additional content into a modern streaming platform. If only Neon would follow suit.....

Signed up through Google and still showing old content with no option to change profile(s). Are those with the new content paying directly or through another service?

As far as I can tell Star is not available in the US, because they have other streaming services already covering the content. So anyone using a DNS to access US Disney+ won’t see the ‘local’ R18 content.

I paid through Apple. It has edit profile on start page now (more then one profile doesn’t go straight in),but it was sort of hidden the first time. Through logging in on web page there was writing at bottom of page and a link was amongst the writing with something like edit profile.

I logged in through a web page to get this, as couldn’t see anything in iPhone applic.

Disney+ itself has lots of 4k, Atmos, etc. I haven't seen anything on Star yet with these.

That being said, it blows Neon out of the water - I'm still wanting something more than PCM Stereo 2.0 on Neon!
