I would say that you’re not the only one - I don’t like that there isn’t an option to turn that off but I’m just kinda resigned to that being the way it is. But if I had my druthers there would be an off switch.

It probably doesn’t matter but if it were me I might go to P+ for that, if only to give Paramount data that people are watching legacy Trek, in the hopes that enough people doing the same might move the needle on DS9/VOY remasterings. But it probably doesn’t matter.

The issue with Amazon there is that they have two services both operating under the same name. You’ve got Amazon Prime, the subscription streaming service that includes a wide variety of original and licensed content, that’s analogous to Netflix. But then you also have Amazon Prime, the...

1. My bill for non-premium cable (no HBO or anything like that) prior to cutting the cord at the beginning of 2020 was nearly $200 a month - I think maybe $150 or $175? Whatever it was, it was more than $92. 2. There’s really no reason for most people to be subscribed to all streaming services...

Ugh. It’s telling that while I have Prime connected to MA, I’ve never actually watched an MA title on it. Their setup is so clunky in the best of times.

I don’t mean to sound snarky or anything, are the majority of broadband users subjected to data caps? I’ve never had a data cap on internet usage going back to the first time I got broadband internet in 1998, and that’s been my experience living in multiple states dealing with multiple service...

I agree. I know it’s never popular to suggest someone spend more money on something, but a $180 AppleTV (which is the most expensive of these devices) will solve just about any potential problem on the horizon - which is less than what a VCR used to cost back in the day. And most people don’t...

Dell lost me as a lifetime customer thanks to their customer service in relation to the PC I bought in college. Got the machine in 2001 and it was quickly apparent that it was a lemon. It had some performance issues but more troublesome, it was just LOUD. Like, get in trouble from the campus...

What I think will happen long term is that some of these services will vanish as customers get over the novelty of everyone having a streaming station, and there will be some consolidation and some failures. And what these guys don’t seem to realize is that ease of use is going to be as much of...

I don’t understand how these people don’t understand how awful that looks. Hulu is a paid service that costs a certain amount a month. It’s not called AppleTV or anything else. If Hulu doesn’t work as well as other services, customers aren’t going to play detective so that they can assign blame...

Of the subscription services, the lack of 5.1 on Hulu on AppleTV is baffling. Hulu should be a service that has year-round appeal to me but because of this decision, I only turn to it when I have to, vs looking there for something to watch from the beginning. To me, that’s an even bigger failing...
