Disney Plus with ads (aka Disney Plus Basic) is Disney’s response to a couple of trends with the best streaming services. First, streamers need to find a way to make more money off their platforms to turn a profit and appease shareholders, but they also need to provide more affordable options to entice subscribers as inflation hits everyone’s wallet. But when Disney Plus with ads went live, users noticed a glaring problem — it didn’t work with Roku.
Now that problem is officially solved. Roku has announced that it's streaming devices and smart TVs now support Disney Plus Basic, ending months where one of the best streaming services and one of the best streaming device manufacturers simply didn’t get along.
