If MGM needs to celebrate not only their 95th anniversary but also their own legacy, can they collaborate with Warner Bros. on a publicity campaign (featuring a combination of movies and cartoons from pre-1986 MGM and a large batch of library titles currently owned by MGM) like they did in late...

I'm seriously thinking about dropping satellite TV. I was looking at Comcast, but the hidden fees for local and sports programming along with their equipment fees make it hard to justify the price. I'm thinking of installing an antenna in the attic for local tv, and then getting a streaming...

STATEMENT FROM WARNERMEDIA CEO JOHN STANKEY ANNOUNCING PLANS FOR DIRECT-TO-CONSUMER STREAMING SERVICE I looked for a thread on this but didn't find one; if there is one, please merge this in. Former NBC president Kevin Reilly is spearheading the project. The service will be a separate...

I'm selling a Matrox Monarch HD device that does live video streaming for content platforms such as YouTube, Facebook and Ustream. A new unit goes for about $995 retail and I'm selling my lightly used unit for $795 with free UPS Ground shipping. If you're interested, please send me a message...

I was checking out some stuff on Amazon Video today and noticed that everything on my Watchlist that was from Warner is showing “This title is currently unavailable.” Some of the titles I checked were: Auntie Mame, Reflections in a Golden Eye, House of Dark Shadows. They do still show available...

I'm trying to find shows that are in HD that you can not buy a blu-ray yet . Hulu has The Odd Couple but not every episode due to some music rights issues . I noticed Gilligan's Island in HD on Itunes . Anyone like to add to the list would be awesome

I just bought a LG OLED65B8 OLED tv. When I watch the movies that are supposedly available in 4k, it shows as 1080p How do I know if I'm streaming 4k? Will it say "2160" instead of 1080p when I press pause? Thanks.

NEWSLETTER - NOVEMBER 16, 2018 We are incredibly touched and encouraged by the flood of support we’ve been receiving since the announcement that FilmStruck will be shutting down on November 29, 2018. Our thanks go out to everyone who signed petitions, wrote letters and newspaper articles, and...

I'm losing track so can we list all the streaming services we're going to have in the next couple of years here?

I've had my Optoma projector for a couple of years now, with no other problems, but from Day 1, it's had a mildly-annoying signal flicker whenever I play streaming video from my Roku 3 device. The flashing/flicker is exactly like what is seen on this guy's YouTube video: I've gone into the...

Bob Iger announced today that the Disney streaming service will be called Disney+. I'm really surprised they couldn't come up with a better name than that. How long do you think it took somebody to come up with that name? But anyway, also in the announcement is a second live-action Star Wars...

Is this an easy thing to do? Any tips? I have the adapter cable to plug into my iPhone 6, and the other end into my TV's HDMI input. Thanks.

Variety reports that Marvel will produce shows for Disney's new streaming service. One will feature Tom Hiddleston as Loki and another will have Elizabeth Olsen as Scarlet Witch. There will be others too. Each series is expected to have 6 to 8 episodes...

In looking around, I've come across several titles that are available to rent/purchase in iTunes via the Apple TV 4K, that are in Dolby Vision. But when I look at the 4K UHD Blu-ray releases of these same titles, they were never released in anything but HDR10. So is Apple/iTunes converting them...

Was just watching THE THING (purchased from Amazon in HD. Surprised to find it there in HD and further surprised that they have framed it in 16x9 widescreen! Surely WB knows that it's a academy ratio film! Hope if it ever makes it to blu-ray, it will be presented at 4x3, the format it was...

My CD changer died and I have a ton of CDs. I decided to enter the new age and use my Synology NAS to stream ripped copies of my collection. Since I have a ROKU I added the appropriate channel and connected to the Synology device just fine and am able to stream music. I was actually rather...

Go watch it if you haven't already. If you have, see em again! https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/bj3qd5/the-expanse-is-the-epic-sci-fi-show-you-need-in-your-life

It sounds like a Hulu/Crackle hybrid (several movies I've also seen on Prime/Hulu/Netflix), but it's free. I would guess that it's advertiser supported. If anyone has tried it I'd love to hear your opinions! (not that I really need ANOTHER streaming option....)

Nice to see it up, but exactly what is the basis for a TV-PG rating for this particular show? I don't even remember them ever using profanity when other family sitcoms of this era got the occasional four-letter word (albeit not any from George Carlin's list). This wasn't even one of the episodes...

Hi All, I've been able to stream content via DLNA from my personal NAS server through my Oppo 203 with no issues. However, I wanted to test if others could join the cloud remotely to watch my MKV ripped movies. 2 different individuals were able to log into my cloud account from 2 different...

Director Alex Zamm has an impressive resume of family-focused films, He began his career with comedic short films, earning nominations from the Writer’s Guild of America and for the Palme d’Or for Best Short Film (Maestro). His filmography features a variety of direct-to-DVD films, including...

Well, Sony just updated the user interface on their ULTRA 4k streaming service available on Sony UHD TV's and, I assume, their older 4K Media Players. I do not understand why they changed the UI to this new design, which now shows EVERY SINGLE MOVIE & TV SHOW YOU OWN on UltraViolet, despite the...

What I mean by the question posed in the thread title is, for a film/show where there is a comparable resolution release on both physical disc and digital streaming (i.e. Blu-ray and 1080p Digital), are there any cases where the digital release is a better version than that released on disc? As...

Hi All So here in Canada our ability to stream UV titles on Smart TV’s has become next to nonexistent. Apparently CinemaNow has shut their doors for Canada, Flixster closed up shop on Smart TV’s in Canada a while ago and VUDU is not valuable unless you resort to a VPN alternative. The whole...

“Disney to offer two streaming services and end its movie distribution agreement with Netflix” http://www.latimes.com/business/hollywood/la-fi-ct-disney-earnings-20170808-story.html

We're in the market for an FM alarm clock radio for the bedroom. I was thinking the Dot might work. It can certainly be used to wake us up. I'm used to hearing my local (Little Rock) NPR station in the morning, but somehow I doubt I can stream that. Anyway to see if it's possible?

Hi, As you will probably be able to tell, I am a complete newbie when it comes to this... I am looking to buy a new TV - I don't want a very big one (like 32 inches), I want freeview, streaming and all that which I think pretty much comes as standard now but one thing I def need is for it to be...
