Disney Plus is a streaming service that is part of the Disney Media and Entertainment Distribution. It’s an exclusive platform for Disney new releases, as well as Disney’s subsidiaries’ exclusives. Disney Plus is a major competitor for streaming platforms such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, and HBO Max.
In spite of the fact that Disney Plus is so popular, even such a giant has disadvantages. One such problem is the difficulty of installing Disney Plus on Smart TVs (except Samsung and LG). If you’re a Sharp Smart TV user, you have to look for other ways to watch this streaming service.
In this article, we are going to help you deal with this.
How to watch Disney plus directly on Sharp Smart TV
Disney Plus can still be installed directly, but only on one Sharp TV model. Its name is Sharp Aquos 4K. This is possible because this Smart TV is running Android OS. So, if you own this TV, you can easily download Disney Plus from the Google Play store. To do so:
- Open Google Play store on your Smart TV;
- Tap on the Search bar and find Disney Plus;
- Install it by clicking the Install button.
But, still, this app is on the beta testing program. So, a better way is to simply opt for streaming devices and connect them to your Sharp Smart TV.
