Why is Disney+ Plus not available in the Philippines on Roku?

That's exactly my dilemma. I also contacted Disney+ support about this and awaiting for their response. I have Roku Premiere btw. I suggest you do the same so they can expedite the process. The only reason I bought Roku is to watch Disney+

I also purchased my roku device just for disney+ alone. but to my surprise disney+ channel is not downloadable on roku's channel store 😞 

Hello seanray7 @markee23

Thanks for reaching out here in the Community!

Channel availability on the Roku platform is determined by each channel provider themselves. Channels are only available in the locations where they choose to publish their channel (app). We don't currently market or sell devices directly in your region, so many channels/services may not currently be available. However, others such as YouTube and Netflix work in many locations.

For more information, you'd want to contact any specific channel/service provider to inquire further about whether they offer their channel/service on the Roku platform in your region. We appreciate your contact, and we are always looking to expand our presence.

Regards,
Karla

I actually see Disney Plus but when I try to log in, it's asking for an email address instead of the cellphone number I used to sign up. Can this be updated by Roku?

Same dilemma here. Please let me know if you hear anything from Disney+. Thank you. 

Got this reply from Disney+. Looks like it will take a long time before it will be available in Roku.

Thank you for writing to Disney+.

With regard to your query, we would like to let you known that we continuously review our device list to make it more exhaustive. While we do not have Roku in our roadmap at this point, we will pass on your concerns to the relevant team.

Meanwhile, your support and patience is highly appreciated.

Same here no Disney+ but the remote has Disney+ button 🙂 Roku is already being sold locally here in Philippines. I hope we get this channel soon.

Same! I bought the Roku Ultra because of Disney+. It doesn't have a search button either, so I don't understand. It's kind of unfair that the choices we have are limited when it comes to major streaming platforms.

Hi,

Disney+ is already available here in the Philippines but I cannot find it in the channel store. Also, there is no 'Search Channel' option. I have noticed as well that there is no 'Bass Bosst' option. Another issue I encountered was when I press and hold the microphone button on the remote control, the screen just brings me to the Streaming Channels tab. Are there limitations on the Roku features here in the Philippines?

Thanks!
