Is Disney+ ready?

Hey Disney streaming team, itโ€™s not gonna crash on first day right? ๐Ÿ˜‰

How is their engineering team? I have seen big differences in quality of interfaces, stream quality w/ better bandwidth usage (smoother ramping up and down), and much better simple interface options (left and right to love frame by frame in Netflix and HBO, rewind and ff buttons only in Prime, etc.).

HBO uses bamtech. Which is owned by Disney

HBO streaming is terrible... i have a bad feeling about this..

Sounds expensive operationally too. 3rd party CDNs arenโ€™t going to really fly. Iโ€™m expecting a half assed user experience. But Iโ€™m signing up anyways.

Iโ€™d be very surprised if Disney messes this up. They care very much about protecting all aspects of their brand.

I didnโ€™t find many postings about being hired to Disney since they announced it. I am curious where the hell they are getting the engineers to work on their platform? Are they outsourcing this completely?

Disney+ will be using bamtech too. ESPN uses bamtech too.

Have you heard about hotstar?

You mean the service that's owned by Disney now? And which as as many monthly active users as the population of United States?

I hope itโ€™s not as shitty as HBO... If HBO also uses Bamtech.

We do not host or run HBO

How does the staffing situation look for Disney with Hulu, Disney+, ESPN+, HBO Max, etc?
