Samsung SmartTV automatically made the app available. I did not sign up for the service, but can get a "Free Trial" right now, no problem.

Ditto on the Roku! :mickey: All our TVs are Samsung: 2 years old to about 12 years old (3 of them in total). The built in on our Samsung Smart TVs are unreliable and/or slow and clumsy. Roku is fast, has its own remote and even our ancient 3 year old Roku HDMI "stick" plays Disney+ without any issues. I highly recommend Roku. So please consider this if you still want to have Disney+ despite Samsung TV issues - it is a relatively cheap and a very reliable option. :thumbsup:

Yes! It was on my newer Samsung TV when I sat down to watch The Imagineering Story on Friday night. However, it's not available on my older (like 4 years) Samsung TV.

Or the Amazon fire stick. We have one for all the TVs in our home. On Black Friday, you should be able to get any of the mentioned streaming sticks for a price that makes it worth it to keep the service.

A Roku is an option we discussed. We may even still have our old one somewhere. I don't think we're far enough away from being supremely irritated to look at other solutions yet, because we really haven't seriously discussed any. I'm sure down the road, maybe in a year or two, we'll re-consider trying to make it work. Even though we were all excited to check it out, so far, no one in the house is lamenting that we don't have access to it. Not to mention, re-signing up now would make the fact that we lost out on that pre-purchase price that we were refunded a little more in our face. I think it was an incredibly short sighted decision not to support the previous (I refuse to call it old, because it's not) Samsung TV OS. Which also makes me not ready to figure out how to jump back on board. And, that's it right there - WE have to figure it out! It doesn't just work with our TV like every other streaming service that exists. Ah well. Honestly, in the big scheme of things, this is a tiny problem. It was frustrating, but that's it. Our TV will probably croak within a year - even though it is not that old - and viola! Access to Disney+.
