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.

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

What technical issues/deficiencies have you seen with Hulu?

[crooked-v]

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

[dwoozle]

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

Could this be a PR stunt then?
