On the one hand, of course launch day of a big service is going to have problems; they always do. On the other hand, Disney owns Hulu. Why is this a launch day of anything other than the cosmetic parts of the frontend and a new empty copy of some databases? What is there to break that's not already well-established?

Pretty sure it's not built on top of Hulu. They bought a majority in BAMTech way before getting Hulu.

  Hulu is dogshit technically, I would hope that Disney+ doesn’t hit a line of Hulu code.

    What technical issues/deficiencies have you seen with Hulu?

      On Apple TV I run into constant "cannot be played" errors that go away after hitting the menu button and reslecting the same item.

      Forgotten positions in videos, forgotten ad load histories, terrible app UX, app hanging, buffering delays when scrubbing.

    I use Hulu basically every day- absolutely on par with netflix from all of my experiences.

Could this be a PR stunt then?
