Smart TV support is spotty all-around. Each streaming service has to develop an app that is compatible with each smart TV's operating system (same for cable boxes). Because of this, services are slower to come and update on many smart TV's compared to much popular streaming devices. Plus, devices like Roku and FireTV generally have faster hardware overall compared to smart TVs, cable boxes, etc.
If it's the same ad free content and even remotely close to the US price in Canada then I'm in! Here's hopingWhile not confirmed, believed/speculated that Disney+ will be rolled out in Canada shortly after US debut

They did mention that captain marvel would be in 4K on the webcast so my guess is the picture quality will vary by product for what’s available at 4K versus 1080p etc.
It's not a sound system if it lacks Dolby Atmos? Atmos is cool and all, but unless you've got a room well set up for it, it's not adding much. Even my current 7.1 is too much for my room, and before I drop money on Atmos, I'd want to shell out way more on accoustic treatments.
I think purchasing BAM will make this different, i hope anyways.
I might be totally wrong here (someone please come shoot me down if so) but I thought I had read somewhere a while back, that the software/app was being built (or purchased from...?) another company, at least to begin with. Can someone refresh my memory on that?
They win this by playing a numbers game. Every extra country they launch in is close to pure profit once they've got the first few in place.
Big chunks of Movies Anwhere is Disney, and that works great. BAMTech is rock solid, and that's what Disney is building this service on. It'll be fine.
It really finishes off the submersive experience when there are effects coming from the ceiling as well as the front and rear of the room. Pretty much all new 4K Blurays come with Dolby Atmos. The Netflix shows that have it are noticeably better. I can use my receiver to decode and force the effects through the Atmos speakers, but it doesn't sound as good. We finished our basement from scratch last year so it was easy for me to set-up the room the way I wanted it.
We have a media room with a 4K TV and 5.1 surround... But I do most of my casual TV viewing in the main living room where I just run the TV without the sound system and control it using my phone or voice commands
This is why I recently bought a TCL Roku TV. The Smart TV operating system is Roku, so it has a lot more versatility. This was a big selling point for me.
That was all I wanted them to address as well. Obviously I will buy all of the MCU films/Pixar/Disney Animated ones on 4K UHD when they realase but would be nice to know that some of the other movies that are not worth a buy will be available to stream in 4K with ATMOS.
But it’s been streamable for years already...
I say 2 years to get to $10.99.
