Hi @Carlm62

Welcome to the community.

The current available applications can be seen on the EE TV Packages page.

Is there any chance you will get the app on homescreen? Just swapped over from sky and annoyed can't seem to get disney plus on our TV anymore

@Helen2018 it’s going to be a case of waiting to see if it does become available.

I was told that all of the app I had with Sky would be available on the EE TV box. Does this mean there is no way of watching Disney+ on the TV?

I was told that all of the Apps I had with Sky would be available on the EE TV, are you unsaying there is no way to watch Disney+ on the TV?
And I also can’t find you tube or you tube kids, are these available

I'm afraid you were told incorrectly - there are many apps that Sky have on their boxes that aren't available on EE TV Boxes. If you choose the Apple TV option for EE TV then this does allow you to install any apps you want, but you then don't have the option to record TV.

So if you choose Disney+ as an app using Apple you can’t record Disney+ programmes or you can’t record any channels?……

@Coops138 you can’t record anything on the Apple TV box it’s just a box for viewing content.

Hi Philippa10 not sure if this is helpful but I got a free Disney+ freebee from the bank and I haven't got a smart TV. Managed to watch using an old Amazon Firestick (no subscription) until app appears on the EE TV box.

I think it would useful to point us to where people can vote / request this integration or even a roadmap of what is being worked on... it is the modern way and certainly ensures dev time is used on things your customers actually want. Just my tuppence.

I know that all customers to new EE TV will be relatively new customers, but with TV contract increases for next year already being announced coming out at £1.50 a month (https://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.php/2024/04/isp-bt-and-ee-introduce-new-uk-pricing-policy-for-customers.html) , it would be good to get further improvements to our services whether it be new apps on YouView, transition from YouView or new channels so that we feel that the increases are worthwhile.

I get that there has been big changes from the end of last year, but it would be good to keep this going.

Being a previous BT TV Customer (weerab1983 on BT forums) for many years I realise that EE won't release news to customers before it happens, and this can be frustrating

As a current BT TV and long term BT community user like @Weerab2024 , I wouldn’t waste your time or energy asking for additions to EE TV or explanations about functionality or design decisions, or trying to make recommendations for improvements.

Re: Disney+

Exactly, their communication strategy isn't going to change.

As it is with BT I think its a case you get what your given, but if anything does change it will come out of the blue lol

I was also told this..I asked the question specifically because I've been with sky over for 20 years and wanted exactly the same service. I was lied to and sold a product that isn't what I wanted.

Hi @Carlm62.
Welcome to the EE Community!

What exactly was it you were offered when you took out EE TV?

We've never advertised this as having Disney+ included, so did you explicitly ask what was featured?
Also where was it you initially placed your order?

@Peter_W @Kel51e @Weerab2024

Disney+ is available on the EETV AppleTV box, but not on the Box Pro and the Box Mini.

I think this can sometimes be too fine a distinction for the sales staff to make, leading to mis-selling of its availability 😢

Like YouTube before it, though, it’s not a matter I would sweat for months and years on end if I had it on other devices, or could add a £40 Roku or Firestick to my armoury.

Chris_B — Mon, 10 Mar 2025 18:31:29 GMT

@Kel51e You wanted exactly the same as Sky but from a different provider and obviously cheaper than sky. Where do I start with this.

Re: Disney+

Midnight_Voice — Mon, 10 Mar 2025 18:58:40 GMT

@Chris_B

You could ask @Kel51e for other examples of where he has got exactly the same thing from another supplier, and cheaper 😛
