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.
This Old House did a season in Detroit a few years ago:

My cable system has the show Flipping Vegas. It's a husband and wife team. The guy
is the jerk hollering about cost to the contractors and the wife's overspending on the upgrades.
Everything gets fixed just in time for the realtor to show up for the open house. The realtors look
like they are matured versions of Hooters girls.

+1 I watched that, for the salespeople they could probably sell an igloo to
Eskimo if the victims wife wasn't there. Another version of flip or flop, this
show was ok until the marriage failed. It showed how cheap the labor market out
there was.
