Disney + and new equipment

I have recently been receiving a message on my TV when I try to access Disney + that I need new equipment that will be shipped to me at no cost.  If I decline, it won't let me access Disney + and I go to another TV in the house and watch Disney +.  Out of the 4 TV's I am down to one that I can still access Disney + without getting the message.  Has anyone else been getting this?  I checked my devises on my account and they say I have the latest.

Greetings, @user_f21bd9! I hope your week has been treating you well. Thanks so much for taking a moment out of your busy day to leave a post on our community forum. I'm sorry to hear you're having issues with your equipment, but you have definitely come to the right place for assistance.

 

It's entirely possible that your equipment may be outdated, but if you were able to access Disney Plus at some point on your devices, only to find that access replaced by the error message you reported, there may be an issue with your account or equipment settings. Are you seeing this message on devices that used to be able to access Disney Plus in your home?

I just tried to go to Disney+ for the first time in many months (possibly over a year), and am getting the same message.  I got new cable boxes within the last year.  Help!  I want to watch Get Back on my TV.

I just started having this issue too. Have had equipment for only 2 weeks and just started getting this error message.

@user_a329bc  I got a message that I needed new equipment-even though  Netflix , Prime Video, Hulu, and HBO/Max worked with no issues.

4 other boxes in my house  allowed Disney +. It turned out I had a first generation X1 box which technically wasn't obsolete yet.  I replaced it and now get everything.

I discovered that my old cable boxes are not compatible with Disney +.  I ordered the new boxes (free of charge) and am now not having any problems accessing it.  I am surprised that the folks at Xfinity was unaware of this problem.

@user_f21bd9​ Hello - thanks! So did you order the box using that on screen process?

That is a great question @user_42d488! If you are automatically prompted to do that "upgrade", yes you can do this from the on screen process.

If you would like assistance though, I will be more than happy to help out! 

If you decide to have me assist, will you please send our team a direct message with your full name and full address? Our team can most definitely take a further look at this issue.

Disney plus I already have a paid subscription. Now when I go to my Disney+ on my streaming it kicks me out. So I figured out how to sign in on comcast. However the remote does not function how it does for Netflix Hulu Amazon. I keep having to get a new password every time I switch to Disney. I can't just get a listing of all the movies after I watch one. I find I need to start all over again.

What the heck am I doing wrong? It doesn't recognize me!
