AppleTV

Anyone have this? I was bouncing around my apps (fuck me how did we all end up with like 6 paid apps after cord cutting?) and rolled past AppleTV on the old 75 inches of Sony glory (humble brag) and thought to myself "someone told me a show called See was pretty good on ATV." So, punched in my Apple ID and subscribed for like 5 bucks a month. Started See and liked the first half hour before deciding I wanted sleep more.

If anyone has ATV if you have any recommendations of good shows or movies I'm all ears. They do seem to have a small library, but it appears to be really high quality original content and they are not skimping on star power.

    Got it - and every other streaming service known to man.

    Wife insisted on subscribing for The Morning Show (Jennifer Aniston/Reece Witherspoon). Solid but needs more tits. If your wife is like every woman I know, they all want to be Jennifer Aniston or Reece Witherspoon so probably good for a hand job.

    Ted Lasso is good. Not as mind boggling great as the critics say but a good half hour watch. Needs more tits.

    For All Mankind, the astronaut show is pretty good. Needs more tits.

    Just started watching WeCrashed. Anne Hathaway is usually pretty reliable for more tits but disappointed so far.

    TL;DR: Needs more tits.

    Got it. Throbber review = best review.

    So Hannah Waddingham’s magnificent 5’11” tittays are not on display?

    They are prominent but not exposed to their full potential.

    The little girlfriend tart gets closer to nudity but she's got the English teeth which is a huge turnoff.

    Severance is a terrific mind-twisting, paranoia-inducing series that takes Adam Scott out of comedy country.
  • USMChawkUSMChawk Member Posts: 1,800
    I have it and really like Ted Lasso, a lot. In no particular order, and to a lesser extent, I also liked Foundation, Mythic Quest, Acapulco, and For All Mankind. Schmigadoon was ok but easy to turn off. Couldn’t get into Mr. Corbin or The Morning Show.

    That sounded like Rex Reed at the Movies.

    I watched Finch and liked it. Ted Lasso is fuckign excellent. Binge watched (which I rarely do) to episode 8 in season 1 already. Fucking great show. I want to bang the girl who plays Keeley. Hard.

    It’s worth it at $5 a month. Netflix ballooning how to $20 is going to make people go back to pirating.

    Companies don’t understand why people cut the cord to begin with.

    I just dumped NetFlix in protest of the rate increase. I could use ay of about five others' accounts if I want, but probably won't. It was mostly just me charitably giving them money for nothing over the past couple of years. Ive rewatched seasons 1-5 of Walking Dead and all of Breaking Bad enough times.

    I also dumped Disney+. Thinking HBO max is coming back for a while in addition to whatever I need to be able to watch Mariners games.

    VPN + Pirate Bay. Done. $40 per year.

    I guess I do not understand what it means to cut the cord.

    Is cutting the cord breaking away from cable and satellite TV? is that what everyone means?

    So then everyone pays top $$$ for fastest internet to stream the stuff that just you just cut the cord on? And the streaming is an endless list of individual TV providers, so 10 fifteen monthly bills to replace the one?

    Sounds just like a parent cutting the cords with their kids, they eventually leave by age 30-35...

    BTW I have T-Mobile phone and internet $135 monthly and DishTV which varies from $105-127 monthly

    @1to392831weretaken seems to have a good method but some of us? might be leery of "Pirate Bay"?

    Remember BitTorrent - that was lots of freebie stuff - is it still around?

    Cord cutting hasn't really worked for me yet. I live in two different places, and one of them still only has DSL available at 15mbps. It's not reliable enough for it to be my only tv watching option. I could get on the Star Link waiting list, or whatever it's called, but spending $500+ for setup, $100+/month, and then probably $500 to move the service again later in the year doesn't make much sense to me when I'd have to tack on more monthlies for streaming services.

    Sticking with Dish for now. I have 14 months left on a two year contract anyways. I assume Root Sports isn't coming back. I dumped Netflix and Disney and won't feel too bad subscribing to Hulu or Fubu or whatever I need to watch the Ms this year. Still kind of straddling the cord cutting line.

    The Pirate Bay is BitTorrent. You install a torrent client (I like Deluge), go to a torrent search site like the Pirate Bay (I actually use 1337x.to, which is a piratebay clone, because it never gets taken down like the Pirate Bay does), search for what you want, and download it. Obscuring traffic with a VPN protects you from prosecution. Assuming you use a means-tested VPN.

    Can I watch them with Dish Hopper on my IPad while playing the back nine?
  • SwayeSwaye Moderator, Swaye's Wigwam Posts: 41,512 Founders Club
    Hulu Live TV (includes Disney + now), HBO Max, Netflix, AppleTV and Prime. More shit then I could ever keep up with watching and about 120 bucks a month all in. I dig it.

    MrsIamnotinLebam has been checking out Starlink via RVer blogs and such - There are a lot of folks that are using Starlink as they travel.

    It was sporadic at best until Elon Musk opened it up for the Ukraine - it seems the last month has been great for getting mobile service in the USofA. What other RVers are doing is finding a cell location with open service (very remote areas usually as the populated areas have waiting lists) for their "home location". Our "home" is going to be the Kaibab Piaute Indian Reservation - sorry @Swaye, the white man steals from the red man again.

    Shipping and service addresses can be different, thus, my wife will order Starlink as soon as we stop for a longer stay. Appears that will be in May - I will be in Chehalis for the month. What the hell - $600 bucks is not that much and we will see how it works. I have a year to go on my DishTv contract and if the Starlink experiment pans out I will let y'all know.

    Saying y'all reminds me - I am leaving Texas until it cools down again sometime in the winter.

    Does PornHub count as a streaming service?

    Asking for a fren.
