Thanks for the tip. I'm trying to stay out of as many ecosystems as I can. As I said, I should have known that they wouldn't just let it show up on my TV like in the olden days. 5 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/16493-to-subscribe-or-not-to-subscribe-that-is-the-question-paid-streaming-services/page/51/#findComment-8546528
atomic Tuesday at 02:54 AM Share Tuesday at 02:54 AM Just wanted to share that you can stream the entire first season of Severance for free on the Roku Channel right now. Got a message for it on the Roku home screen when I turned on my TV this evening. I've been meaning to watch that show after hearing how excellent it is, so I thought it might help anyone else who either wants to watch or re-watch before season two. Says the free episodes will be available until 1/19, so that gives a lot more time to stream it than what Apple TV+ offered last weekend. :) 3 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/16493-to-subscribe-or-not-to-subscribe-that-is-the-question-paid-streaming-services/page/51/#findComment-8548351

Thank you for posting this. My Roku screen didn't say anything about it, but when I went to search in Roku, when I put in "S" the first thing over on the right was Severance. I have a standalone DVR and recorded the episodes in succession overnight. Not unlike the olden days with my DirecTV when a free preview of HBO would have all of a season of some show, one episode after another. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/16493-to-subscribe-or-not-to-subscribe-that-is-the-question-paid-streaming-services/page/51/#findComment-8550908

Now where did I put that cable splitter?

StatisticalOutlier Friday at 05:59 PM Share Friday at 05:59 PM What kind of standalone DVR do you have? Mine is an old one that acts just like a VCR; the only difference is it records to a hard drive instead of tapes.

SoMuchTV Yest. at 03:45 AM Share Yest. at 03:45 AM Okay, my $30/year Peacock subscription is ending soon, and it was going to renew at $80/year. When I went to cancel, they offered me another year at $50. I didn’t take it, since I regularly see offers for 20 or 30/year. Anyone seeing any good current promos?

The recording will be decidedly not HD, but especially for regular TV shows, I don't care. Being able to watch it on my schedule and without commercials outweighs the quality.

I suppose I should poke around back there after I get my latest personal old-lady drama under control.😉 Edited 23 hours ago by shapeshifter Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/16493-to-subscribe-or-not-to-subscribe-that-is-the-question-paid-streaming-services/page/51/#findComment-8551950

Hey! My Roku screen just now gave me the message about season 1 of Severance being available. Of course I already streamed the whole thing a couple of days ago thanks to the message here. And they know that, obviously. Oh well. Better late than never?

SunnyBeBe 2 hours ago Share 2 hours ago Update: I got the Roku tv. Will set it up soon. I discovered a feature in profiles that allows you to view your watch history with both Netflix and Prime. Problem is the series I was watching most have been on another app. I can’t locate it. Ugh….lol. So, the Roku supposedly has 3 free months of Apple Tv. So, will that be available on any tv in the house or just the Roku tv?
