Does anyone know why Disney Plus watch list on Roku 3 is limited to 30 shows?!  I'm trying it out for the first time and my max watchlist is 30, but if I login on my computer the watch list is more than the 30 displayed on Roku.

You would need to ask Disney about that. They provide the channel/app for the various devices. It's possible it's a memory size limitation of your Roku, especially since you have such an old player. The newest Roku 3 is now 9 years old and only has 512MB of operating memory. The latest players have 1-2GB of memory.

Good point.  The Roku 3 is still a great unit but maybe time to upgrade. If I run into the same issue, I'll contact Disney.  There have been minor issues with a few other apps so maybe an upgrade will help. Thanks for your response. I'll follow up once new device is hooked up and running.

I looked at Disney+ on my Ultra, but of course none of the profiles we have contain more than a few entries in the watchlist. Also, my daughter's package isn't the version with ads, so that might alter what is available as well. 

I did find a three year old thread on Reddit that mentions a 30 item limit even then. The Disney+ help page for watchlists does not mention any limit, which doesn't surprise me. One thing the Reddit thread mentioned was building separate profiles and storing other watchlist items in those profiles. For example, they made a Movies profiles and a TV Show profile, so they could have 60 watchlist items accessible.

The Roku 3 was a fantastic player in its day. But it is drastically outgunned by the modern players.

Your suggestion of creating seperate profiles has worked so thanks for that advice. It seems anything new with Roku models I was looking at  -streaming stick and Ultra (2022)- have issues.  Streaming stik HDCP errors and the Ultra major sound issues and the rechargeable remote dying quickly.

I have the latest Stick, mostly only used when I travel. I've never encountered any HDCP errors with any hotel TV. I have several versions of the Ultra (4640, 4670 and 4800). No sound issues with any of them (two connected to an AVR, the other directly to the TV). The only rechargeable remote I have is the one with the Stick, and It goes 3-4 trips without recharging, sometimes sitting in my suitcase for a month or more between trips. So no battery life issues with it (or any other remote for that matter).

i just checked the Disney+ app on my Roku Express 4K+ and I currently have 32 items in my watchlist. I have the plan with ads (actually I have the Disney+ addon for the Hulu plan with ads) and i only have one profile.

Update with Disney +. I installed the 4K streaming stick. No issues on the installation. I now can add more than 30 shows on a profile. It is also quicker going from 64 mbps on the Roku3 to 249 mbps on the stick.  There is a different picture quality so I'll have to play with it for awhile to see some settings adjustments.
