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
You mean they charge and have ads too?
I won't go for this because there annoying ads on the regular channel or
repeats.


$4.99/month with commercials, $6.99 without.


Correct, I posted 7.00 but it is 6.99

Whatta bargin!


I didn't have the sound on but the TV on the stair climber at the gym was hawking Discovery+ constantly.

I usually turn it off but there was a show on about buying cheap, and I mean $5000, houses in Detroit, fixing them up and reselling them. I've seen chicken coops that were more livable than
some of them but after putting $60,000 in they figured they could move it for $80,000.

i don't know what neighborhoods they were in but I didn't see a mount for a Ma Deuce on the front porch to handle the traditional Detroit trick or treaters.

Sorry if I strayed to close to home repair. The guys were getting a lot of use out of sledge hammers and Sawzalls. Personally I would have went with 5 gallons of Citgo's finest and a fresh start.



Windows on a Detroit house are covered with plywood...and not because of MAGA hatters.
