Error code 73 on disney plus app

[paulw74]

Hi, everytime I try to log in to the disney+ app I am getting 'we are having a problem' and stating error code 73. Only started 3 days ago i think and nothing has changed with my router (which is also sky) or my sky stream puck. Can you please help.

@paulw74 have you tried rebooting the Sky Stream puck by unplugging it for a couple of minutes?

If that doesn't work you can also try an app refresh. Go to Settings > System Management > Resets & Updates > refresh apps. This process is not instant and is carried out in the background so don't expect an instant solution.

Yes, tried all that and rebooted the router a few times as well for good measure. Still getting the same message

Try a web search there's lots of info on cause and solutions😉

Interestingly I've had the same over the last few days. I'm with O2. No issues when on mobile data.. It's not the Disney account. I've spoken to them.

The only thing I can thing of is that there's something going on with Sky.. Even the Disney+ log in page refuses to load before I can even enter sign in info.

Yeah I'm getting the same thing.

Works on mobile ok, just not on sky stream.

It does clear occasionally but then comes back. Really frustrating

Was this error resolved? Ive just had the same issue start in the last week (Sky Q). tried resetting router, resetting Sky box, refreshing Apps and checking software up go date and still getting error 73. 

Works fine on everythong elss just not Sky

Me too. Just spent an hour with Disney plus support and they cannot solve it either

You're not using a VPN on your network are you as I know that can cause the mouse not to want to play 

[JamesMcCl]

No VPN.  All fairly normal.

Found this on a forum for Virgin Media and it sounds like the same issues and is probably to do with O2's IP addressing.

"Having spoken to Disney plus support again last night they have now admitted that there is a problem their end with recognising some IP addresses in "Europe" and that they are working on it. So frustrating that they have had me rebooting and resetting my devices and internet and had me contacting virgin to finally admit that it's a problem their end"

[Krich03]

I have the same error but with Sky so might not be the answer

[PaulB1969]

Darn, seemed to sort the virgin media guys out , think it must be something to do with IP addressing as the Error 73 seems to point to regional issues on the disney pages. Hope it gets sorted soon , sorry I couldn't find the solution.

You could try and turn off your router for an extended amount of time . This should make it pick up a different external ip address that may be older in origin and be familiar to Disney's ip geo list.
