Re: Disney Plus not working

Hi @BrokenDisney

Thanks for posting here in the Community.

If you are removing a subscription channel billed to your Roku account, you must cancel the subscription before you see the Remove channel option. For help identifying this type of subscription channel, read the detailed article about How do I remove channels from my Roku streaming device?

 

Let us know how it goes!


All the best,
Irene

Re: Disney Plus not working

So I'll respond to my own question. I checked and Disney is now an add-on to Hulu which I already have, and only two bucks and change until the next billing; and so I thought, "what the heck, I'll try it" and signed up for Disney Plus. Apparently the buffering issue has been corrected by either Hulu or Roku because it no longer buffers for me.

My connection is 12 MBS on a good day; more like 8-10 average. I'll repost if anything changes.

Re: Disney Plus not working on Roku

I see on other threads they are starting to roll a bunch of TVs back to 10.0. So they are admitting without stating it that 10.5 is a rotten piece of firmware. Hopefully we all get rolled back and that will definitely fix it for me. Hopefully for others as well

Re: Need help with Disney Plus error code 42

Same problem here. TCL Roku TV. Removed and re-added the Disney Plus app, did a system restart, no luck. Disney Plus app gives Error 42 before reaching login screen. All other streaming apps working great.
