Is it too late to be a charter member?

I wasn't aware until just now...

No, you can still join as a charter member.

No, you can still join as a charter member.

That's it. Once you click on the Sign Up icon it will take you to the sign up page, you will see the charter subscriber offer.

 

[Tino]

Thanks.

In my theater I use Amazon Firestick.

I can't find the Criterion Channel app anywhere on it to activate.

Anyone else able to?

Doesn’t launch for a few months so there would not yet be an app

 

[Tom Logan]

Thanks.

So I guess the early-subscriber perk of watching the movie-a-week until launch is available only on one's computer?

Or mobile device.

 

[Sam Posten]

Is their mobile app up?

I believe the website states it will be available on Amazon Fire, Roku, etc. But yeah, it's not up and running yet.

Finally something for Canadians too! THANK YOU!! All we have that I know of is Netflix, and the classic film selection is really the pits...

 

[Bill McCamy]

I've used the Netflix and Amazon apps bundled into my LG display to stream their programming. If I want to access the Criterion Channel am I correct that I'll need to either connect my laptop with HDMI to the LG (a clunky solution) or purchase one of the supported devices?

 

[JQuintana]

Or just get a cheap Roku or Firestick.

 

[Bill McCamy]

Isn't that what I said? "supported devices" = Roku, Firestick etc?

 

[Bill McCamy]

Another thought/question: My LG has its own web browser. I should be able to access the Criterion Channel through the browser and view HD programming? I cannot imagine that the browser's view is more limited than the access provided by an app.

 

[JQuintana]

Have you tested the browser theory with other streaming services to see if you get best sound and image?

Fail. Trying to watch Amazon Prime, a message displays that I need to update Google Chrome. Of course, the LG is using its proprietary browser, which leaves me unable to access Prime videos. Back to the drawing board.
