Mabinogia September 9, 2022 Share September 9, 2022 Economically it makes sense for them because it will lessen the number of people who wait for a show to drop then pay for one month (or get a free trial month) watch all of it then cancel. If your show runs weekly you have to keep the service for at least a couple months to get to the end if you want to be one of the first to watch it, which, for "watercooler" discussions is vital. 5 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/16493-to-subscribe-or-not-to-subscribe-that-is-the-question-paid-streaming-services/page/23/#findComment-7642234

SunnyBeBe September 11, 2022 Share September 11, 2022 I’m in a state of shock and rather confused. Maybe, this is common knowledge, but I’ve never heard of it. I had no idea I had access to many channels on Roku live tv. WITHOUT the internet! How is this possible? I have an external antenna, but it’s in a drawer and not connected. I keep it in case of emergency, if cable is out for an extended time. So, how can Roku give me live tv? This is a Roku tv. Is there an antenna inside the tv? I’ve always noticed the Live tv app, but never used it. I normally download my Apps on my Firestick. They have different remotes. Tonight my power and internet went out. I received a text from Spectrum that it would be a couple of hours to restore. The power came back on immediately. Afterwards, I just experimented with what I might be able to get. My tv told me I was not connected to the internet. My iPad said no internet. So, I know I had none. Yet, on Roku Live tv, I had many channels. I watched part of a movie, then several decorating shows. There’s one on now about The Plaza Hotel in NYC. Fascinating. I’m going to be watching more of this App. The service was restored, but I’m still watching Roku. Lol. I’m going to explore the app more tomorrow to see how many I can get on Roku. 1 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/16493-to-subscribe-or-not-to-subscribe-that-is-the-question-paid-streaming-services/page/23/#findComment-7643903
tessaray September 11, 2022 Share September 11, 2022 It depends on where you live and how close the towers are. All tvs that aren't just big monitors have a tuner inside. Some people get dozens of channels with just a paperclip as an antenna. You might be swimming in over the air signals and not need an antenna. If I disconnect my antenna I get maybe 2 or 3 channels, 40-ish with it. Eta: in the old days we had 4 or 5 network channels. After the digital conversion the main channels now have anywhere from 3 to 7 or 8 subchannels. That's a lot of free tv. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/16493-to-subscribe-or-not-to-subscribe-that-is-the-question-paid-streaming-services/page/23/#findComment-7643941

Evie September 11, 2022 Share September 11, 2022 Some people will prefer the weekly model and some will just wait until the whole season drops. All streaming services are dealing with churn, so I'm guessing Netflix has weighed the pros and cons. It will certainly help Netflix's shows stay in the public consciousness longer. I'm a slow binge watcher, so I'm happy. I never get to participate in discussion and inevitably have the ending spoiled before I get to it. Maybe Netflix could compromise a bit and release two episodes a week (this happens with the kdramas they license) or drop three episodes at once and then one a week after like Amazon Prime. I would guess, if this is indeed true, they will debut it for The Crown's fifth season. That is a show and season bound to generate a lot of buzz and discussion, especially if the episodes are released weekly. 2 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/16493-to-subscribe-or-not-to-subscribe-that-is-the-question-paid-streaming-services/page/23/#findComment-7644514

One thing I detest about Frevee, which is through Prime, is how it cuts the show off before it ends. Sometimes, that’s not a big deal, but tonight the ending to Silent Witness, Season 19, episode 10, the villain was escaping at the airport, and someone came up behind him…he turns to face them and Suddenly, it cuts off to next episode!

I just discovered that if I watch Silent Witness on Freevee on my IPad, there are NO commercials and it plays to the very end. So, I found out what happened to the villain. This is odd. It’s nice, but I don’t care to watch on my iPad. Oh well. You should be able to plug your iPad into your TV with an adapter. Or maybe even wirelessly project it? 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/16493-to-subscribe-or-not-to-subscribe-that-is-the-question-paid-streaming-services/page/23/#findComment-7656177

I usually watch most things with half an eye, being that I'm almost always either on my computer or my tablet as I watch TV. Yeah. I have that issue too but I still make it work for shows that don't have too much dialogue or is in a language I usually understand. 49 minutes ago, possibilities said: I didn't have that problem when I watched Sprung. So I'm thinking not. Me neither. I didn't have it with Leverage either. Or Falcon Crest when I sometimes watch it before falling asleep. I wonder if settings can be changed on the Freevee app. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/16493-to-subscribe-or-not-to-subscribe-that-is-the-question-paid-streaming-services/page/23/#findComment-7656205
possibilities September 18, 2022 Share September 18, 2022 I wonder if the Freevee problem depends on what device you use? I watched on my laptop. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/16493-to-subscribe-or-not-to-subscribe-that-is-the-question-paid-streaming-services/page/23/#findComment-7656487

Spartan Girl September 19, 2022 Share September 19, 2022 Last week I got all excited because on Disney+’s list for October 2022 it said they were finally going to add the old Zorro series! My dad loved that show and he was all set to start rewatching it. Now apparently they’ve taken it off the list. God DAMMIT Disney! Stop holding out on the GOOD STUFF!!!!! 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/16493-to-subscribe-or-not-to-subscribe-that-is-the-question-paid-streaming-services/page/23/#findComment-7657919

Maybe, it’ll turn up somewhere else. I had almost given up finding Mary Kills People final season, when it suddenly turned up on Roku! It wasn’t even available by DVD in this country. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/16493-to-subscribe-or-not-to-subscribe-that-is-the-question-paid-streaming-services/page/23/#findComment-7658004
DearEvette September 19, 2022 Share September 19, 2022 Amazon Prime Video is currently running a 1.99 per month, for three months promotion for STARZ. After the three months is up the price bounces up to 8.99 a mo. Not sure how long the promo is going to last tho. My last quick sign up for a 1.99 promotion for STARZ just ended sometime in July. I don't think I've ever paid full price for STARZ. LOL. I might just do it again, I am hearing good things about the Catherine De Medici series they have going. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/16493-to-subscribe-or-not-to-subscribe-that-is-the-question-paid-streaming-services/page/23/#findComment-7658046
