If you have a Disney Plus subscription, but your Samsung TV is a 2015 (or even older) model, you may find that you can't find Disney Plus on your TV. This is because Disney Plus only runs on Tizen OS, and 2015 Samsung TVs use Orsay OS. But we still have a way for you to get Disney Plus on old Samsung smart TV.

You can spend a little money on a Disney+ supported streaming device like a Roku, Amazon Fire Stick, or Chromecast which saves you a ton of money on a new TV.

Good way! The old Samsung TVs do not use the current Tizen Os, so many apps can't be downloaded. With these methods, you can use them.
