Here’s a list of some of the technical issues with the Discovery+
streaming service. I’m a couple of weeks into my free 6 month
trial and so far I’m not impressed at all. I’ve experienced many
of these issues, on different devices, including smart TV’s and
Fire sticks.

I consider myself technologically savvy, but that doesn’t mean that -
even though I can - I want to go through all the cache clears, app
reinstalls, router resets, etc. suggested as *possible* fixes.

Worst part is when it’s not even me that’s watching, like when it crashes
while SWMBO is watching. I have to drop what I’m doing and fix it for her.

Based on my experience so far, there’s no way I’d pay for this service.


I'm not a heavy uses but for the few months I've had it, no problem. I
use my Fire TV to access it. I signed up for the commercial free, worth
the few bucks a month to avoid them


My son subscribes to every streaming service that I've heard of and he
shares his logins with us. We watch exclusively through Roku devices and
haven't had issues with any of the streaming services.
