Thus, The Disney+ application is already compatible with UHD content through the Movistar Plus+ 4K decoder. Since April of last year, customers of the Spanish operator’s platform could access Disney+ directly through the Movistar set-top box, but without offering 4K content.
In October of last year, as reported by MundoPlus, the Disney+ application for the Movistar decoder received an update in which it began to show UHD content as available, but it was an error since the movies and beings in 4K did not play at that resolution. Up to now.

On the other hand, we want to remind you that you can use a virtual decoder to access all the test channels that Movistar Plus+ broadcasts to check different details, or prepare the launch of a new channel on its grid.
The blue operator usually has these test channels for a few months to see that everything works as it should before making the official launch. For example, they recently launched two new Eurosport test channels, probably due to the proximity of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, which will be held between February 2 and 20.
