Yes SG D+, dont know about Star Content since I do not have DH. I also don't know the difference between SG D+ vs Australia D+ or US D+. Because it is PC streaming, I doubt I will use this often.

Disney+ Singapore or Disney+ Australia have Star channel included while Disney+ US doesn't have Star. They only have bundle Disney+ which include Hulu and ESPN.

If you are using the app, make sure it is the latest app version.
Or next is to clear the cache of the app.

App latest from Google Play. I've already clear cache and data. Even restart my phone but still not available. Reason i ask is because i saw you show screenshot of deadpool and logan movies. Disney+ Canada and Australia though have Star channel doesn't have those two movies. That's why i try to go into Disney+ SG.

Actually our Malaysia D+H got Deadpool 1 and 2, as well as Logan. Just that I have found the following:
- do not have English subtitles
- playback speed is sped up (like 1.05x) no idea why
- shortened runtime due to suspected censorship

I only have Disney+ app.. not with hotstar. A bit of waste if i subscribe our disney hostar just to watch these movies only. Just want to make sure if Disney+ Singapore have those two movies or not.

May I know is your account is D+ US?
If it is so, it might be related to content filter of the account.
US account have a max up to TV14, so you will not be able to access it due to the type of the account.
If you get an account with Star built in, no issue.
Mine is D+ AU, so my content filter can go up to 18.

I use VPN to enter other country Disney+. Like i said i can use Disney+ AUS or Disney+ CAD where both have Star channel. But both done have Deadpool and Logan which i interested to watch.

If we use VPN mean the library contents also changed right? Mine is Disney+ US. Bought long time ago. Subscribe with RM though... not in USD.

You can check the content ratings settings in your account. If it shows TV-14 at the last one, means you have US account and thus even if you VPN to Singapore you will have a lot of content hidden from you due to the US ratings.

You need the account to be in other countries in order for the ratings to show numbers so that you get full content from SG.

Guys I have activated my Astro number for D+H, got the sms and verified. I have the movies pack.

Yet when I go into D+H app, it still requires me to subscribe. Any ideas how to go about it?

It seems to me that they just take the existing video copy of movies that is meant to be shown on TV channels like Fox Movies?

As you mentioned playback speed sped up, it seems to me that the movie is being speed up from 24fps into 25fps from their end (There's nothing we can do about it).
fps = frames per second
You can Google more about "PAL speedup" if you interested to know why TV broadcasters do that to 24fps content. Do note that PAL speedup is only used for 24fps content.
It is where the 24fps content is being sped up by exactly 4% to matches the PAL TV standard frame rate of 25fps, and also you'll realise the audio pitch is slightly higher than the original as a result of the speedup.
That also explains part of the reason why the movie runtime is shorter than original. Another reason, may be due to some scenes have been cut/censored.

I don't know why didn't they use the original 24fps copy of the movie to put it on Disney+ Hotstar....
Instead, they use back the already sped-up 25fps version of the movie and let Disney+ Hotstar viewers watch that version instead hmm.gif hmm.gif

And as of why no English subtitles... Because Fox Movies channels don't even offer English subtitles to viewers? hmm.gif

The 4 number code is from the app installed on your Unifi Plus Box..

Take Netflix as an example. They have several plans ranges from RM17 till RM55 per month, difference among them is mostly on streaming quality and overall user experience.

I wonder why Disney don't take this approach? Instead, they seems to "duplicate" themselves by literally making 2 versions of Disney+ in the market, and then re-brand it into Disney+ Hotstar for third world countries countries like Malaysia, which has a below average grade of user experience compared to Disney+ hmm.gif
Let's say Malaysia has Disney+ and if you can afford RM40-45 per month to have all the great features like Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, better UI, more device compatibility and so on, well... Why not?

Yet the "unique selling point" of Disney+ Hotstar is, it has local vernacular content where Disney+ doesn't have.. I was like, huh?  :confused:  :confused:

Haha indonesia malaysia upcoming to philippines thailand will remain under hotstar banner which is located in India hahahaha

Singapore and upcoming to Taiwan will remain under Disney + US umbrella

Sad but true we will never be an first world nation huehuehue shakehead.gif shakehead.gif

The sound quality is really bad on iOS and Android phones. Max, already sometimes can hear, sometimes can't. Netflix is a lot better for sure.

For show, Marvel and Disney ones okay. The rest hmm netflix has more shows for sure.

Hi bro.
PM me personally.
It seems you got issue due to localisation of Disney+ service.
US account don’t have the R rated content, so you will not see it no matter what region you are connected whether to AU or CA to due to US account only supports max PG13 contents only.
I have changed my account localisation from AU to SG, now I can see maximum R21 content where previously only maximum 18 content only AU account like FX The Strain.

Disney+ SG R21
