DC Fandome is free to all, DCU has a paywall in place without free content. So no way to add it to DCU.

They should have still streamed it within DC Universe (in addition to their site). IMHO. I mean none of it was live and it shouldn't be hard to put content up. That is if the service wasn't all but dead.
But heck, they should have added a section to HBO Max as well.

That was my thought. Basically we had no way to get it to our TV so we missed out. Here's to hoping we can get to some of it via something (other than the boots on YouTube) to our TV. Not really interested in sitting in front of the Laptop for hours.

Re: DC Universe streaming service
On the plus side they changed the delay to 6 months instead of 12, which is in line with Marvel Comics Unlimited. But not budging on price and basically removing the entire video part of the service: from just a value standpoint that seems way out of wack to me, and I'm a big comics fan. It's even 5 bucks more than the Marvel offering on an annual basis. I think it makes more sense to subscribe for a month and then cancel, then subscribe again later than to go for an annual plan.

Re: DC Universe streaming service
I no likey dis shit here
I liked reading stuff on my TV due to large screen. I'm all for the comics only transition as it's a cool way for me to get back into reading DC comics, but this not being able to read on my TV may be a deal breaker.

Re: DC Universe streaming service
I enjoyed the big screen as well. Not so sure how I feel as I have about 5 months left on my subscription (with HBO Max add on). Once the video content moves to HBO Max and the app is removed from Roku, not so sure how much I'll enjoy the service.

Re: DC Universe streaming service
App officially left Roku today. Can still access the streaming content via Android App on phone (yet have no way to cast to TV - Motorola issue which cannot be overcome). I suspect it happened to coincide with HBO Max coming to Roku. Not all content moved to HBO Max unfortunately.
I was in middle of a special on the origin of DC Comics. Part way into Season 2 of Legion of Superheroes. A few episodes in to Lois and Clark. Wanted to see the original Wonder Woman TV movie from early 70s. Wanted to watch Superboy at some point. Just a few examples of content not ported over.

Re: DC Universe streaming service
My renewal through amazon said it would be $59, but I tried to "convert" the subscription and they said they would no longer offer subs through amazon because it's no longer a video service. So I think mine is going to just expire despite this being set to auto renew.
Just as well because I just bit on Marvel Unlimited, but I would've liked to have both.

Re: DC Universe streaming service
I emailed DC Universe via "contact us" or "help" and asked if my renewal would be $59 or $74 and if i could just pay before the renewal date. I was also thinking of doing the $7mo but decided to ask before canceling. They claim it will be $59 at renewal. Also, i got my sub and discount direct through DC Universe when i signed up.

Unfortunately we do not offer the option to purchase memberships early. You will need to wait until your renewal date to be charged.
Please let me know if we can assist with anything else! Sincerely,

Re: DC Universe streaming service
Movies and shows are still on the phone app. I think they go in Jan. Maybe the website still has them too. But as said above the Roku app is gone. They have it redirecting to other warner apps.

Re: DC Universe streaming service
Forwarding address.

Noticed it stated "similar" shows and movies. Some content is no longer available anywhere.
Human Target Season 2
Many of the documentaries.
No comic books.
I hope they love the missing content to the DC section of HBO Max.
It does suck though that I can no longer read any comics on the big screen. (No I cannot cast from my phone to anything but a Chromecast due to OS limitations - which I suspect are to force the purchase of Chromecast. It is complete PITA to set up in a way to cast or HDMI from Laptop to the TV as well.)

Re: DC Universe streaming service
FYI they charged me for a new year, and when you go to "cancel" it said it would take effect Dec 2021!
So I had to contact them and get a refund, which they did. I was annoyed at myself for not staying on top of it but I was more annoyed they didn't send a renewal email (which they had done the previous year.)

My sub was cancelled without me asking. It expires on the 26th of this month and I was going to cancel it today. When I logged in, I had a message on my settings that the membership was successfully cancelled and my membership ends on the 26th. It was a fun ride while it lasted, and I hope that all the content makes it through to HBO Max.

Re: DC Universe streaming service
I decided I would just watch the last bit of content I didn't finish via my phone today. Well to add to the crappy way they are decommissioning the service, those titles were removed from their video offerings. The Movies and TV section has been reduced to way less. So if there is something that is on DCU and not anywhere else I suggest watching it ASAP before it's gone (ie Human Target Season 2).

I'd suspect Legion will make it to HBO Max yet doubt the documentary will make it.
