If I use chromecast and cast to the tv from my smart phone app, I've noticed there's a bit of a lag. Would I be better off getting a Fire stick?

+1 for Fire Stick. We have several around the house. Highly recommended.

They are amazing, plug into your HDMI port in the TV and power. Then connect to your wifi and boom your 'dumb' TV becomes a smart TV. Runs all sorts of apps: Netflix, Crave, Prime, Disney +, Spotify, Plex, apple TV.
So I see airplay doesn’t work from iPad to fire stick without a work around.

What about Apple Music? I know it’s compatible, but can I control song selection from my iPad/iPhone? Or would I use the fire stick interface? Or is it an app?

Fire stick video quality is great, and if all you want is access to streaming services it's the best option. If you also want a chromecast though and don't want to switch inputs all the time then a Shield TV is great, but you'll probably want to wait for a sale as they're pricier. The Shield TV also opens up a lot of other options, with a Plex server, game streaming, and VPN app support, which lets you get stuff like American Netflix and Hulu working if you're feeling adventurous

Is anyone using their PS4 to access Disney+?


Our Apple TV is old A/F, so we can't use it.


Apparently you can access Disney+ on PS4, but I would like to know how it is.

The only time I had issues on my PS4 was on launch day but that was their servers. Smooth sailing since.

Do they have the Hulu + Disney + ESPN bundle for $13 in Canada?
Or are all of you just paying for Disney+ by itself?

I didn't think Hulu even worked in Canada.

But it is only $90CAD/year, which isn't that much compared to other services.

No issues either. Unless my kids are streaming from two other devices at the same time. I bumped my internet up, which should take place later this week or early next. I had a slooooow connection.

I see Last Jedi on Disney+ now but the opening crawl is in French but the audio is English. WTF? Anyone else seeing this. Force Awakens is still all English.

I had the same issue when I watched A New Hope on Disney+. Empire and Return of the Jedi didn’t have any issue.

Yes, but just think, you're learning a foreign language.

I have a dumb question and I am not sure if it has been addressed already. Netflix has options for different users. Amazon Prime doesn't have that feature, does Disney+?

I watched Coco and the signs were in French. I would expect them to be in Spanish but that was weird.
