[TV] App support for Disney

Has anyone figured out a way to use the Disney apps for kids with Brighthouse as a provider? My kids would really love to be able to use the Watch Disney apps on the AppleTV and/or my iPhone, but BHN is not supported. BHN doesn't have a history of being out in front of trends, so I figured they would come on board with the service eventually. However, so far no change.

Anyone else figure out a way around this or know of upcoming support for these apps?

To my knowledge, BHN is not providing or supporting the Disney app suite at this time. Hopefully that will change in the future.

i have been wanting this for a while for my son. Hopefully it will come soon. This is like the one thing Bright House doesn't have that I really want. They basically have close to everything else.

It took forever (nearly five years) for BHN to get ESPN360/3 (now part of WatchESPN). These things usually only happen when their carriage agreement is up for renewal, as it requires extra $ from the ISP/MSO. I'd like to think we'll get access to Watch Disney whenever Disney's contract is up for renewal. Who knows when that'll be though. IIRC the last deal was in 2010. No idea how long the deal was for. Could be a while.

Most Disney deals are 7-10 years.
