Thanks for the post.

Thanks,

Same! I was in the middle of watching a show, but then I changed the input, (this was never a problem before because the Roku stays on even when you are on different inputs) and now I cannot watch ANY episodes of that show. I have not tried to watch other shows on my Roku, but disneyplus works on my laptop, so this is a Roku thing.

What Roku model do you have? Some of the older ones that are actually on the supported list (like my 3600X) have had that error - I literally had to factory reset it (which will mean that it's like it's fresh out of the box, you'll have to re-enter all your passwords and logins, including WiFi) and it's been working fine since with Disney+.

Hi, thanks for your post. I Have a Sharp TV with Roku. I moved to Japan. In the Roku web #Disney+ says “installed” but in the device it’s not visible. I tried factory reset and updated to latest OS as well. I’m unable to get Disney+ in my Roku in Japan. Can you advise me please? Thanks in advance

I'm almost certain that Disney+ is not supported on Roku devices in Japan. I'm not saying that Disney doesn't offer D+ there (I have no idea if they do or don't), but even if they do it might not be available on Roku devices. And that is not something that Roku controls. It is under the total control of the channel provider (Disney in this case).

I'm getting the error on a Roku TV.   The link says Roku TV's are supported.   This is not the issue.

I can't get Disney+ to show up on the home screen, next to Netflix and Prime etc. I went to the "channel store" but it didn't exist there!

When I do a standard ROKU search, like you would for a movie or TV show, and input Disney+, it shows up and when selected and input my password it works fine.

I'd like not having to do a search every time I want to log onto Disney+. How do I get the Disney + icon to show up on my home screen?

PS: It's very annoying that ROKU no longer have voice technical support. I also own AppleTV and Amazon FireStick and they both STILL have voice technical support. So ROKU's excuse about the coronavirus is bull when comparing to their competitors !!!.. Sig

What model Roku player do you have, and where are you located? Many older Roku players are not supported, and not all countries are available for D+. And both of these are completely under the control of Disney, not Roku. Disney offers a list of Roku models that are supported, but it's not accurate. FOr example, There are 5 different models called Roku 2, but only two of them are supported by Disney.
