  4. Buenas noches ya realize todos los pasos y ninguno me ha servido muchas gracias… que puedo hacer para q mi tv funcione con esa aplicación

  5. TV is 2 days old. None of these helped either. Called Samsung support, and they walked me through all these again. Even had me reset the tv. Disney+ app is actually built into the tv so i can’t even delete it, but only reinstall. Still nothing worked. Eventually the customer service rep (from India) said tht it wasn’t Samsung’s fault, but that I should cal Disney+ because it’s their problem with their app! Seriously? WTF?

  6. Hello,

    I don’t know where you come from but one thing for sure. On my side, it was the DNS of my internet provider which causes that i had those errors :/ . I changed my DNS and magically it works !.

  8. 2019 Samsung tv getting bamgrid.com error.
    Cleared tv cache and data. Now getting 1026 auth error.
    Logged into Disney plus.com in web browser.
    Navigated to my account.
    Log out of all devices.
    Cleared tv cache and data.
    Get 6 digit auth code to link tv to account.
    Believe Disney account may have old auth details for tv which would explain auth error.
