Breaking Hotstar X - a major upgraded experience of Disney+ Hotstar

[Odinson98]

Hotstar X sounds like Streaming hub, hope after new upgrade version they will streaming 20th century studios/Hulu original movies without 2 months delay.

Hotstar x sounds like a p**n site

Still better than Disney +, Hotstar remains bigger and Popular brand and they will never Remove Hotstar/X from Hotstar version in India.

Most Hotstar Originals are unbearable to watch. You won't find any casual fans talking about Hotstar Originals like they do with OTT's originals. They are desperate enough to bring TV shows hours before broadcast to gain customers. They even got Big Boss of their own. Only thing that make customers wanna buy a subscription is IPL (gone), BCCI, Premier League, F1 Race etc. Second factor is International shows like Game of Thrones, House of the Dragons, Marvel shows etc. If Disney+ shows leaves. They are doomed. They have even started compensating for IPL with Korean shows. I think Anime will be next.

Their bread and butter was sports. With most important property gone. They will try to offer unique offerings to attract customers. I am happy how they are transitioning into a serious streamer. Earlier they had chalta hai, chalne do mindset. We have cricket. Viewers will come. That totally changed. Expecting more Hulu and HBO content too.

Hotstar X is an inside name used by developers. The name 'Disney+ Hotstar' will continue. The current beta testing version doesn't bears any studio/brand categorisation. Probably they will introduce tabs like in this picture. But if they adopt this model then a 'Hotstar' tab will get added replacing 'Star' tab. And all Star TV shows, non Disney+ shows like HBO, FX etc get sorted inside this. Currently the app is being like Hotstar with Disney+ inside. Will it change to Disney+ with Hotstar inside

They can have two seperate tabs. They already have seperate tab for each Star's linear TV channels. Including for the ones those have rebranded or shut down. Can't see why we can't have Star+ as a seperate tab.
