Disney+ Restores 4K Streams After Court Ruling
3 Aug
Summary
- Disney+ is restoring 4K streaming in Europe after a court ruling.
- HDR support is still unavailable in affected European countries.
- Subscribers can seek partial refunds for lost 4K and HDR features.
Following a recent court decision, Disney+ has commenced the restoration of 4K Ultra HD streaming for its subscribers across several European countries. This action comes after the streaming service was compelled to disable 4K and HDR features in regions including Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Romania, and Sweden.
While 4K support is gradually returning, the company acknowledges that HDR is still unavailable and is working to bring it back as soon as possible. Disney+ has stated that the adoption of an alternative technology enabled the restoration of 4K UHD. However, this may affect availability on certain devices, and the company is focused on expanding device compatibility.
Direct subscribers in affected countries who find the loss of features unsatisfactory can request a partial refund for their current billing cycle by contacting Disney+ customer service. Those who subscribed through third-party platforms will need to reach out to those respective providers. The streaming service is also offering a cheaper plan for users who wish to downgrade due to the feature limitations.
