So i just activasted my sony tv x90h via the site above shared by juzmafia and now finally really enjoying disney plus right on tv (no need cast from my iphone)

Spend 5 mins testing all the things here and for RM 18 per month I'm overwhelmed.

First i get all the tamil channels lol including those from Star India

There's also a Premium option and I can watch GAME OF THRONES!, Mare of Easttown, and so many tv series which i thought wasnt under Disney's stable.

There's also sports channel (My mum now watching French Open live) and lots of shows on EPL though no live ones for now.

QUality wise looks good and 4k is available for certain streams i believe.

Below is stream from Kingsman GOlden Circle only 1080p

This one is Wandavision at 4k with 5.1 surround

Attached Image

And this one is shot from EPL show (1080p)

Attached Image

My 2cts. I'm sold. expect stuff to be upgraded further and for RM 18 (way cheaper than my previous Astro RM 140), it meets 95 percent of my list. I hope they dont increase the price and continuing to upgrade the quality and stuff though to me right now its definitely watchable and I would not want to double the price just to get that 5-10% extra image quality.

Bro..how the hell you are getting all those live channels & GoT shows??!! 😅
Those are only available for Indian user. Are you using VPN to India?
*
nope. i dont use vpn.

earlier i tried to subscribe (my tablet and phones were wifi connected to local broadband). and keep getting error. my ip for sure is klang valley as i checked.

Then i switch to my phone line 4g (not using wifi) then was able to subscribe but still fail coz the visa takes long time to register or some nonsense.

Then i subscribed via the iphone app (still using phone line) and successful (they charge to my apple account which is tied to credit card).

THen i had problem activating on tv so i was streaming on my phone and using 4g line coz keep getting logging issues when i use my wifi.

Then saw the site activation (not the one my tv pointed to) so i followed it and activate on tv and voila it works and using my home broadband network which is for sure klang valley IP.

The app in my android tv dont know why keeps pointing to india registration site link tv.hotstar.com but using the malaysia activation link works as well.

So far activated on 2 tvs, my x90h sony and my Hisense a7400f. Currently both streaming live (one is French Open live tennis and the other game of thrones). Resolution is only FHD but ZERO artifacts and full nudity lol.

oh and it does not default in any other language but english so not sure why some of you getting malay etc.

How on earth did you manage to get the India stream?

Even if I try to use VPN on my phone or browser, the Indian login page ask for an Indian phone number to login; so I can't connect through a VPN and login there like I would do for netflix.

Plus, the most of the Tamil programmes are the current ones, which you can actually still get from Astro on Demand of Astro Go. Damn annoying!

I have no idea. When i download the app via google play on my android TVs and try to log in they point me to the India site activation channel. Which then prompts me my an indian phone number to activate the code. Instead i use the malaysian activate channel but the same code. Seems they are tied to the same.

Anyway i dont think theres censorship. WAtching deadpool 2 - full of foul language , limbs, blood, head cut off etc.

Maybe its the ISP is using but they call me before to set VPN and i told them no. Just stick to malaysia.

About how he gets access to the Indian version without using any VPN service, I still suspect his subscription is tied to his Apple ID account.

"Then i subscribed via the iphone app (still using phone line) and successful (they charge to my apple account which is tied to credit card)."

Noted since he said he installed Disney+Hotstar for Android TV app on his Sony X90H Android TV, I need to confirm how he installed it using the same Google account. There are two possible ways via online (not sideload installation using the USB media):
(1) Direct from Google Play Store app in the Android TV device
(2) Remotely install the Android TV app into your Android TV device from Google Play Store website https://play.google.com/store/apps

In the above options, it doesn't matter his Google account is set to which country region as long as he uses the same Google account on any Android mobile and Android TV device. Just need to know if using the remote website install approach, which app package id version he installed into his Android TV device. On the Sony Bravia Android TV version 9 and above, you can go to the Settings > Apps and open the app entry to check the package id shown below its app name.

If you want to use the Android TV app version for your Android TV device, you still need to link it with your subscription by the following ways:
(1) via https://www.hotstar.com/activate (website approach once your subscription has been activated), or;
(2) from your app installed on which mobile device you have (iPhone/iPad/Android phone) to register a 4-character PIN code shown on the TV device and the app has an active subscription.

Since he has a subscription already tied to his Apple ID account, it is simply a matter of registering the PIN code in the Disney+Hotstar app from any of his iPad/Phone devices to link any TV device. In his case, he did it for his Sony X90H and LG Smart TV device.

About his statement below, it doesn't matter as you can see in my above X90H Android TV screenshot...

The app in my android tv dont know why keeps pointing to india registration site link tv.hotstar.com but using the malaysia activation link works as well.

Another thing(s) to confirm:
(1) has he changed his region settings on his TV devices?
(2) has he installed Disney+Hotstar for his Astro package reason?
(3) has his Apple ID account set to any specific region?

NOTE: If he opens the https://www.hotstar.com/activate link, it will redirect to https://www.hotstar.com/my/subscribe/sign-i...ribe%2Factivate URL if it detects any Malaysian IP address (since he doesn't use any VPN).

If you haven't subscribed, the activation page will show this only:

Also note that on the Sony Bravia Android TV settings, there is no region setting; just the datetime and location (for the ads personalization purpose) for the TV settings. In the Accounts settings, it is just to add and remove a Google account. No region setting is available to any Google account entry.

terryfu, please confirm.

Interesting. No one subscribed via their Apple account? My apple account is definitely malaysian region and its linked to a Malaysian CC.

For the TVs, I have to load up google play and sign in with my google account. App was downloaded direct from Play store. The activate redirects me to Malaysian page and exactly i got ur screen shot that points to tv.hotstar.com

That has always been what appeared on my Disney + app on my TVs when I enter

Interestingly my account profile shows my Phone number but country code (which is likely +91 for India country)

For reference my Youtube (before i sign in) will show Malaysian recommended videos.

Thank you. By the time you reply, I have added some extra info to my post already to emphasize extra info. Yeah, I suspect it is now tied to your Apple ID account.

The Disney+Hotstar app on your Apple devices is installed from the Apple Store for the Malaysian region, right?
*
Yup that’s correct.

Is there anyone else who subscribed this way?

I only installed in my iPhone.

Last night was bingeing on mighty ducks tv series on my tv (direct and not mirror cast). Interestingly everytime the episode finish, I would get a prompt I was not subscrived to premium services and I press back button and voila back at menu and click on the next episode. No problem then.

If you open the app on your iphone, india content or malaysia content?

Better dont sign out hahaha. Later you lose the india content

If i using my mobile line is Malaysian content.

When using home wifi, its India content. I'm still wondering why coz when I check my IP on this, it points to Klang Valley. So am wondering what other location detection it uses.

The TV activation did not signed out. Even when I off and on it still points back to activated India content smile.gif

If it is an Indian content, it should have a Sports channel entry from the side menu list. As terryfu have said, he is able to see a live sports streaming

"Currently both streaming live (one is French Open live tennis and the other game of thrones)."

Yes got sports entry and had french open live. Plenty of cricket channels though, and the EPL end of season shows are all commented by Indian nationals smile.gif

Points me to Indian site) on my tv.

Then when I log in to the phone it says have to subscribe again even though they charge my Apple account liao 🤦‍♂️

Really poor back end programming 😅

Was also abit upset on not able to watch Cruella or even the upcoming Black widow. Seems that all hotstar will only get access to this movies 3 months later. Even the India site will not screen same day as in cinema unlike the western countries. Right now i can see trailers for Raya which is releasing soon but 3 months after its theatrical release.

So those plans under hotstar whether will be 3 months late always (and must subscribed to premium some more).

This is a question I’ve been asking as well. Why share profits when can go direct.

Unless :
1. They feel our market requires some STAR channels.
2. Infrastructure investment?
3. Country barriers. (Should not be since Netflix can come in)
3. Business politics

Can’t brain corporate choices sometimes.

Symptom of our country. No competitive advantage and cant compete globally.

Thats why nowadays content is king (not infrastructure or worse distribution service as this is so easily copyable). Why amazon prime, netflix all wanna acquire content companies. Only thing astro can do is provide local content but market is so small. Hence India can still do because of bollywood industry and China will be same as well. Not sure how big is other ASEAN markets.

Anyway i already discon astro since Feb. Ask me to give back the box tapi never come and collect. Save 1800 every year. was waiting for disney+ only and hopefully come with the Fox Sports but looks like have to wait a bit longer.

Market size is not truly the issue. Korea is doing pretty well nowadays. It depends on how you want to market it and how much the government wants to control it.

Yeah that and probably so much other factors as well.
