Over the past couple of months I watched all 16 episodes (S1 and S2) currently available. I agree that the novel setting and characters - Israel's Mossad and Iran's Revolutionary Guards (Sepah) - are something different for Western audiences. I found it to be engrossing. I see that they recently...

:thumbsup: Looks good Robert. One of those 65" has my name on it.

AcornTV has all 3 seasons if you subscribe to that streaming service.

Our Roku 3 does not have profiles, but our new Roku Ultra does. On the other hand, some SD 4:3 TV shows I ripped from DVDs to a USB stick and play with the Roku Media Player app appear correctly on screen with the Roku 3, with black side bars. But the same files are stretched to fill the screen...

Does anyone have and can comment on the iTunes version of Out of Africa? I never upgraded my DVD to Blu-ray. The 2010 Blu-ray was supposedly very bad, but the 2012 was a significant improvement, based on the reviews. I just wonder what the digital version is like. On sale now for $4.99.

I ordered the $100 Apple card from BestBuy.com Wednesday morning using the page that has the offer clearly explained. I got the Apple digital code email within a half hour. But neither the checkout page nor the email said anything about the bonus BestBuy GC, which was a little disconcerting, and...

If I wanted to buy this weekend I'd want to support Value, and probably get the calibration from them. But the sale supposedly was going to end yesterday, so I was just pointing out the price discrepancy. So back off Sam. Jeez yourself.

Definitely my thought, but I notice that the valueelectronics.com website shows a sale price of $3997, whereas it's $200 less everywhere else. This offer is tempting but my timeline was more for Black Friday. So hopefully prices like this (or lower! :) ) will be around then.

I ditched Comcast cable TV in Dec in favor of YouTubeTV, largely for cost reasons, but also because of their moving of TCM to the higher tier. I've been happy with it. I will note that a few movies on TCM are "not available for streaming" - not very many, just some random titles show up that...

I've watched the first 3 episodes of For All Mankind on my Roku, via the tv app, one each day. If you tend to like dramas about the NASA space program this is pretty well done, IMO. With an "alternate history" twist.

Home Theater Forum. Pioneering online communication and social distancing since 1997. :)

It's been awhile. Time to watch it again.

Isn't the iTunes M*A*S*H also cropped to widescreen? I think I've read comments that it's well done, and HD would be nice, but some would object to not having the OAR option. I have the DVDs and always preferred to turn off the laugh track. The show had enough natural humor and timing to not...

Been watching Columbo and The Rockford Files on IMDB via Amazon Prime. I'm not a big fan of the ad breaks, especially because they can be extremely repetitive and a bit too frequent as the program goes on. But if there is no ad-free streaming option it's still nice to have an option other than...
