Knew it would be after Xmas with latest order so no big deal. Can’t wait for the 3D title.

I'm in no rush as I've got quite a stack of titles yet to watch, including Rest In Pieces, which is what I ordered from VS the first time.

I'm fascinated by that "naughty" title you mentioned [cough cough]......I guess that's probably region-locked anyway, so no use to me.

Region free, most are sir. It’s La-Femme Objet, a French classic.

Just curious, anyone here using a Slingbox? Never had one myself.

That image is not related to any argument. Are you going to say a kid going to school remotely is streaming. How about someone’s grandmother with bad eyes using zoom to socialize is streaming?

It is interesting how one will try to construe a bit of information to propagate their agenda. One of the best ones is Netflix now counts a title viewed when only two (2) minutes have been viewed. Talk about misleading.

Oh . . . sorry . . . didn't know you couldn't see the text under the photo.

Reminds me of how many accidentally start a video in Netflix or like, and then not wanting it to remain in partially viewed list play it and go to the last minute and play that then exit it to get off your resume playing list.

Long interview

"This Is How We’re Going to Be Making Movies at Least For Another Year or Two": Netflix Execs Talk Filming Amid the Pandemic - Hollywood Reporter

"The streamer's production heads open up about how they're keeping cameras rolling and unveil their own in-house risk assessment model that helps them determine whether or not to create a "bubble" on set."

Do you have a Roku? Are you getting HBO Max?

Yes in my bedroom. Built into the TV. Already have HBO Max in the living room and my son's room when we scored a great deal on Amazon Fire Sticks: $17 a piece, 3 weeks ago. Bought two of them. Love the RF remote.

We have HBO Max, Amazon Prime and Disney+ along with a handful of free AVODs like Pluto and Peacock and Tubi.

I have those 3 along with Hulu, CBS All Access, Peacock (Free) and Netflix. Thinking of dropping Netflix (due to the price increase) and CBS.

I do have a roku 3 but that is with the 3D 720p Plasma set that hasn't been used in over a year.

I share my ATV+ app with my neighbor's Roku TCL TV. I think there's a couple of Rokus around where friends use my Vudu.

I definitely prefer ATV4K to any Roku. A TV with Roku or Android apps is typically easier to use than one without and roku users have been missing some key channels.

I'll take your word for it mate as I know practically next to nothing about French films. The last one I saw was Monsieur Hulot's Holiday on Channel 4 about 30 years ago!

Forgot to say, late last night I received an e-mail from Vinegar Syndrome to tell me that my order has been shipped, so I'm assuming you'll be receiving the same notification if you haven't already had it. I'm looking forward to this - some more horror titles for my collection.

How is that relevant to this topic? 100% of the people on this forum are obviously online but that doesn't mean we are all streaming.

bhampton · 12-17-2020, 12:40 PM

Some one said “we are renting apps now”

Seemed like awkward phrasing but it’s true.

I subscribe to Apple One and Amazon Prime.

Prime recommend the movie Scorned and I have to say it was so funny. When I want to watch something I never even heard of before, streaming is a good way to go.

Digital = Streaming, EST, VOD, PVOD etc.

The more people get online, the more Digital will grow.
