How to Install Disney Plus Using a Streaming Device

If your Toshiba is not a smart TV, it means it is not capable of running either the Fire or Android TV operating systems. This, however, doesn’t mean you get to miss out on Disney’s content lineup. How you get to catch up on this content is by using the streaming stick.

The streaming stick is a small device that enables streaming videos on non-smart TVs when plugged in. Some refer to it simply as the streaming device or streaming box.

While there are streaming sticks to choose from, the best include: 

• Roku Streaming
• Amazon Fire TV
• Chromecast With Google TV
• Apple TV 4K

Whichever you go for, the setup process looks quite similar.

How to Set up a Streaming Device on a Regular Toshiba TV

There are a few steps involved in getting a streaming device paired correctly with a standard Toshiba TV.

Establish Connection with the TV

Connect the device (stick/box) to a power source using the power cable. Plug in one end of the HDMI cable to the port on the TV and the other to the streaming box. If it’s a streaming stick (rather than a box), connect the stick directly to the TV’s HDMI port. Then power on the TV.

The streaming stick/box will typically use the operating system of its maker. For instance, the Fire TV Stick uses the Fire TV OS. The Chromecast uses the Android TV OS. And the Roku Streaming Stick uses the Roku OS.

Undertake the Software Setup

Use the remote to carry out the necessary set-up on screen, following the prompts provided. The process of downloading the Disney Plus app to the streaming device is quite similar across the different operating systems.
