Disney Says 10 Million Signed up for Streaming in One Day

While Dish/Direct TV lose millions of customers every year..

Satellite TV will never be able to offer these prices.


The first-day results exceeded expectations of Wall Street analysts, many of whom predicted that it would take until the end of the year for Disney+ to reach 10 million sign-ups. Disney Chairman and Chief Executive Bob Iger has made Disney+ the company’s top priority over the last year, and much of his legacy rests on its success.

However, at just $6.99 per month, Disney+ is an exceptional deal for cord-cutters, and an even better deal for Verizon customers, many of whom are eligible for a free year. Disney is also offering streaming bundles that include Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ for the low price of $12.99/month.

    NEWS FLASH:...........Hulu is boosting the monthly base price of its Live TV streaming service. The company said in a press release it will increase the price of Hulu+ Live TV from $44.99 to $54.99 starting Dec. 18. You still have to pay for internet access so for many users the cost of satellite TV would be highly competitive.


    Been on sling for 2 years and never an increase. Still under $30/month. That and a few APKS and there is nothing I can't watch.

    APKS?


    What I like about the firestick over other streaming devices is how easy it is to load different applications. An APK (android packing kit) is a glorified way of saying an application that finds streams built on
    a platform that's compatible with Android. Someone is streaming something somewhere for just about everything. An APK is an application that packages a way to find streams on content you are looking for. It's a gui that scans the www and finds the show or movie you want, lists the streams and quality of the streams and you pick one and it will play. Granted some streams have better quality than others but most decent apk's have good streams. To me it's another ala carte' service you can download to find more content. Very similar to Youtube - the main difference being there are full length movies and shows. It won't find live content, but if it's been aired, or it's on DVD, then it's available. Imagine a version of Pandora for TV and Movies.
