What's new on Disney+ UK for February 2021 - news discussion

Any idea if this star part of Disney plus will have 4k content at all?
 
Any existing subscribers won't have to pay the new price until August. Which means I wouldn't have to pay the increased price until next year as I paid for the discounted annual sub at the beginning.
 
I’m guessing the Star “channel” is different from Starz?
 
Any idea if this star part of Disney plus will have 4k content at all?

Yup , gonna be interesting to see if we might get UHD DV on the star content .
 
Hopefully they will give a better idea of what content the UK is go to get. The trailers have only shown the dire later Die Hard sequels and TV shows.

I don’t know how much content is tied up to SKY but I hope American Horror Story, Aliens, Planet of the Apes, Titanic etc all come to the service sooner rather than later.

Im also preying the PS5 app gets updated at the same time to actually support 4K HDR but not holding my breath there
 
Will be interesting to also see what happens with The X-Files, given that's been a mainstay on Amazon Prime UK for a long while.
 
Feels like Disney are going after Amazon Prime with this

I think it’s a great line up of films. Some 90’s classics that I haven’t seen for years. Good to see Disney are finally making the more mature content available and their Fox catalogue.
 
I have been in contact with Disney + about the PS5 not playing content in 4K HDR and all they said was that at the moment it doesn't no word on when they will update the app.I am considering not renewing my subscription as I watch most content on my 4K projector but without a 4K HDR it doesnt seem like it worth another years subscription..Does anyone know of another way to get 4K content to play through my projector without getting an Amazon Firestick or similar device as my Sony 4K Bluray player doesnt have the Disney + app....
 
Happy the complete series of Family Guy is on there.

No Bob's Burgers for the UK though, but in the Australian list? :(

From my findings, it’s not a Disney issue. The app is capable of outputting in 4K HDR but they use Dolby Vision for that which the PS5 doesn’t support so they then just downscale it
 
Nothing really jumping out at me in that initial list of Star shows and films.

I signed up for Disney+ last year when it was £49.99. I then cancelled right away to avoid auto renewal. I want to subscribe again for another year before the price goes up, but I can't find a way to do it?
 
I signed up last month in anticipation of a price rise and the Star content. The main D+ hasn't really appealed to me only really watched WandaVision so far, that list of shows and movies coming to Star, now that has me excited. Loads of old classing 80s and 90s movies I haven't seen in years and a chance to revisit some old shows I haven't seen in a while. Certainly a much more compelling proposition.

With the likes of Bachelor Party on there we can assume mature content is no longer an issue and hopefully new originals destined for Hulu also end up on Star in the UK.
