Now TV adds Disney Plus

Now TV customers can now directly access the Disney Plus streaming service from their Now TV device.
With no further news on Virgin Media introducing the app on the V6 boxes this is an easy way for Virgin Media customers who have Now TV for Sky Atlantic to access the new streaming service.
Now TV Smart Stick and Smart Box owners will need to purchase Disney Plus (£5.99 per month or £49.99 per year) directly through Disney before signing into their account through their Now TV streamer’s Disney Plus app. You can take advantage of a free seven day trial if you want to try before you buy. Details at the Disney Plus website.
Note that a Disney Plus subscription is not included in any Now TV passes.
