In the IPTV thread, it looks like we are paying more for the "premium"

Indonesia - Rp 199,000 per year - approx RM56/year
India - Rs 1,499 year - approx RM89/year

Malaysia RM54.9/3 months = RM18.3/month - RM219/year

I wished they had similar subscription plan like netflix instead of trying to segregrate them into different market using different app

Ayam very sad and angry because Malaysia ALWAYS gets the shortest end of the stick.

In the U.S.:
- Disney+ with Premier Access
- Hulu (can be bundled with Disney+)
- ESPN+

In Australia:
- Disney+ with Premier Access
- Star (which is basically Hulu but for international market, not to be confused with Hotstar which is totally different)

For Malaysia?
- Disney+ WITHOUT Premier Access
- Hotstar (which we all know by now, is hugely inferior compared to even India's own Hotstar, let alone Star in other countries

To rub it in our sad faces, here's Singapork:
- Disney+ with Premier Access
- Star
- Hotstar as a standalone service (WTF)

I don't really mind that much if we don't get Star (sedarlah kita 3rd world country), but why the fuck is Premier Access excluded from our Disney+ la??
You can try VPN to US, or Australia, or to Singapore D+ website, you should be able to see Cruella being made available in Premier Access. Ours xde.

That means when Black Widow comes out July 9th, these countries can stream the movie immediately, while us Msians will have to wait between 45 days to 90 days before the movie gets trickled down to the standard Disney+.

Fuck this shit.

Exactly my feels
Worst part is we're paying a lot more compared to India and Indonesia offering the same Hotstar crap
$$$ goes to Astro?

QUOTE(ChAOoz @ Jun 3 2021, 11:31 AM)
This sucks man. Not a good offering from Disney.

Can't they just do something like Netflix which made similar plan available globally ?

Would prefer to have the pure offering of Disney+ in US which is, Premier Access + Hulu + Espn rather than the hotstar alternative
*
Why Singapore can have the standable Disney+ but we can't?
The only reason i can think of is Astro's involvement in this

Sorry, that was my US Disney+. Subscribe since the beginning but never knew about the extra content. I thought it was 100% the same everywhere. 🤭

From 10 minutes of browsing, I think Disney+ with Star really can challenge Netflix.

About premiere access. Yes, with an extra 29.90 USD per movie.

May I know which VPN are you using?

Thanks for the tips but I'm having issue accessing Disney+ using WARP
It keeps detecting my location saying service unavailable hence unable to create account
Maybe I'll need to use another VPN

Google Playstore on my phone didnt switch to US version even after switching to my spare google account with US billing address
Had to install them manually via browser - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...&hl=en_US&gl=US

During setup must have a Google US account logged in.
Then the app will work.
And in order for the US account fully works, you must activate the payment by inputting a debit/credit card that is compatible (BigPay) and VPN to US must be turned on.

Do not use WARP because WARP only goes to SG server.
Maybe can use Hotspot Shield which is free.

ok after several tries of clearing cache and app data for google play store and disney plus, it's finally working already notworthy.gif
i was wondering should i subscribe one year or one month first...i was wondering if subsequent payment via bigpay is still possible hmm.gif

Should be no issue at all.
As long your card is in Google Pay system, it will work as usual.

thanks for the heads up
meanwhile, for those who are trying to get US address, make sure u choose states that doesn't impose tax on digital goods eg, Florida or Georgia

I noticed another thing about WARP... It only works with my home wifi network.

Just now I was outside and waiting while my dad is getting his vaccine, I used LTE and WARP.... Doesn't work. Terpaksa pakai VPN to Canada which works
*
WARP is wonky for me
Still haven't manage to subscribe
Might have to get a proper paid VPN first

What error are you getting?

I'm getting error code 4
Subsequent trial resulted in google pay telling me payment cannot be completed

Anyway, i decided to borrow a friend's NordVPN to try
When connected to SG server, I'm greeted with an option to subscribe at $7.99/month or $79.99/year - doesn't seem right tho hmm.gif
Then i tried again after clearing cache, subscribing through app is not allowed anymore for SG server

I think for your case, maybe need to find another Android phone to solve it.
I am afraid it got issues after detecting so many attempts and it just stops.

Thank you so much!
Finally subscribed to one year D+ using the method outlined by jimmychangas here - https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=find...t&pid=101213789

Managed to pay in MYR hence no need to contact customer support to enable full catalogue as it was enabled by default

I tried again few minutes ago using the same step - use US google account to download Disney+, create new D+ account/login new D+ account
Still manage to get the $6.99/$69.99 checkout page

the smart TV app support here in Malaysia is still a bit lackluster but i guess let's give them sometime, i'm sure they'll improve it once their clientele increases.
*
App support for game consoles is also missing for hotstar but no issue with D+

Well the amount of subscribers in India and Indonesia (both high population country) not sufficient to push for better app support? I don't see how the inclusion of Malaysian subscribers would push them to do better at app support.

Now they removed the banner on D+H app and remove the tweet just minutes ago.
So anyone who defend Disney and Astro decision to launch D+H in MY, padan muka.
This is the price you pay for a subpar service.

Thailand - 799 THB per year - approx RM105/year

3 months equal to Indonesia a year subscription there. Same content?

If you're taking about Disney+ original series with the Star Wars and Marvel's franchises, then it should be the same
The local/asian content might be different tho

so far works great la, but Singapore gateway needs more testing cause got stuttering. If VPN to Canada no problem.

Any good VPN for SG D+?
D+ seems to be quite active when it comes to blocking VPN compared to Netflix
I've been using NordVPN to access Australia D+ (not all server, have to try different server/IP)
Keepsolid VPN Unlimited has a dedicated server for D+ which works all the time but it's based in US without Star content

D+ have to jaga their local partners (eg, Astro in Malaysia) due to profit sharing, whereas Netflix don't care that much since 100% of the money goes back to them
