Apple’s streaming video service is available for $5 per month, but if you buy a new Apple device, you can get the first year for free. At present, it consists of eight original series and one documentary movie—all ad-free and exclusive to the service—with Apple promising to add more movies and shows over time.

Although we’ve been hearing about Apple TV and its lineup of original programming for some time, many of the finer details are only coming out now, so I assembled a rundown of what you need to know before you start binging on shows like For All Mankind and The Morning Show. Read the full column on TechHive.

Unlike a lot of publications, I avoided making a big deal out of this story, as it all seemed like public posturing in service of one side (Disney, most likely) trying to get a better deal. Given that Amazon has 37 million active Fire TV users, not coming to terms wouldn’t be in either party’s interest.

All of which brings us to this week’s news that Fire TV devices will get the Disney+ app on November 12, just like every other major platform. (It’s also launching on Roku, Apple TV, Android TV, Chromecast, Xbox, PlayStation, LG TVs, and Samsung TVs). Even better, Disney+ will integrate with Alexa, so its content will show up in search results and you can say things like “Alexa, watch The Mandalorian.” Funny how these things work out.

FX on Hulu: Speaking of Disney, the company announced that Hulu (which it now fully controls) will become the official steaming home for FX programming in March. That means most new FX shows will stream on-demand the day after they air on cable, and most of previous FX originals will be available for streaming in their entirety. FX is also working on some originals that will only appear on Hulu, avoiding cable entirety.

This represents the other shoe dropping after Disney shut down FX+, the ad-free FX subscription service that was only sold as an add-on to existing pay TV packages. It will also help pad out the Hulu catalog as other networks such as NBC and Viacom start pulling content onto their own streaming services. Disney is now dead-serious about its streaming business, and doesn’t seem afraid to build it up by cannibalizing the cable bundle. (See also: Disney pulling past seasons of children’s programming from its cable apps into Disney+.)

Roku Express review: Over at TechHive, I’m still grinding out reviews of the latest streaming devices on a weekly basis, the latest being Roku’s new $30 Express streaming box. In short: Please do not buy this product. If you’re a fan of Roku’s simple streaming software and want something cheap, I implore you to spend an extra $9 on the Roku Express+ and its vastly-superior remote.

Trust me, not having to juggle a separate remote for TV volume and power is a revelation, and being able to search by voice does come in handy. The Express remote supports none of those things, yet the Express+ remote does, and it’s also more responsive because it uses radio frequency instead of infrared to communicate with the box.

Just one thing to note: The new Express+ is not to be confused with the previous version, which also has a bad remote but is the only streaming device that hooks up to old tube TVs. It remains available at Walmart, because Roku’s lineup wasn’t confusing enough already.

Again, these deals won’t be available until Thanksgiving week. Consider this a heads-up so you don’t spend more than necessary before then.
