Streaming content
DisneyLife will automatically adjust to give you the highest definition possible. Keep in mind a few things can affect the quality of the display of movies and TV shows streamed: your device, your location, the bandwidth available through and/or speed of your internet connection.
For the live TV channels, the images may appear a bit pixelated at first, but they will adjust on their own a few seconds after streaming starts. Live TV channels will stream in SD.
Watching in HD
DisneyLife offers HD streaming for most titles. HD availability is subject to your internet service and device capabilities.
Default playback settings on mobile networks exclude HD content.
Please check with your manufacturer or owner's manual if you're unsure if your device supports HD.
