Re: Disney Plus with Ads not on ROKU

Jump to solution

This is the fault of Disney+. We adjusted our own hulu+live bundle to with ads so we could get more live channels on hulu for around the same price. Well, now we cannot even use Disney+ and cannot roll-back to our old price without paying even more. This will hurt Disney in the long run as ppl will find alternative ways to watch their greedy mouse-made **bleep** if they don't resolve this issue soon & quit being so greedy. It will just like the 2000's all over again, before Netflix started. Just-sayin.

I have 3 roku devices and one fire stick. The fire stick works great and the roku won't let me watch disney plus with ads because roku is being greedy,  costing me more money each month.  I will be sure to let everyone I know NOT to buy a roku because they care nothing about their customers.

@Clnc you have no idea if it's Roku or Disney that is why Disney+ with ads is not on Roku platforms. Based on the greed I've seen from Disney in other areas, I'm just as likely to blame them as Roku.

Then why can I watch my disney plus with ads on my fire stick? Roku was a big part of SVB and must be doing a money grab wherever they can.

Again, you have no idea why it's on one platform but not another. In the end, Disney is the one controlling that. Yes, Roku might be making exceptional demands. But again, based on what Disney has been doing recently with other areas of their operations, I'm much more inclined to point my finger at Disney, not Roku.

It's not exclusively one or the other, both are businesses with their ads agreement each.

They have to come to an agreement and let customers subscribe to whatever they want on their TV units.

In my opinion, ROKU is in fault, since it's ONLY on their system where clients can't apply a subscription. So, ROKU is the one leaving their customers without a solution.

ROKU should let temporary access, until the situation is resolved, which is a matter of sponsors. Maybe ROKU takes a smaller percentage or both take a smaller cut, but customers shouldn't be forced to pay more or buy additional equipment.

I concur, it's not a black and white issue. But because we have no idea what the negotiations are covering, you can't say for certain it's Roku. Perhaps Disney decided to give Google and Amazon a super deal and is trying to recover some of that lost revenue from Roku. And perhaps Roku is being unreasonable in their revenue sharing demands. The point is we have no idea who's at "fault". I look at Disney's actions over the past several years and I see a very greedy corporation, so I'm not willing to give them the benefit of the doubt here.

Roku is holding companies hostage... it's surprising you give Roku the benefit of the doubt but not others.....
