I think he meant live TV specifically, which is still something available through some cable providers' apps.

I had this weird thing on my phone about ten years ago where I could pull out a little antenna and pick up streaming TV being broadcast directly from the cell towers without using internet bandwidth. I think it was a T-Mobile thing, or maybe Verizon? It was pretty neat, I could watch unlimited Star Trek on demand like a right proper nerd.

Remember when the GBA had cartridges that let you watch one or two heavily compressed episodes of dubbed shounen? e: there were regular cartoons too apparently

Here's what Tim Goodman, my favorite TV critic, has to say about the new X-FilesThe Hollywood Reporter posted:What we’re left with is a very underwhelming hour that will force even diehard fans (and yes, I was one of them) to consider whether pushing onward is really worth the time. Ah, time. Maybe it’s dulled the memory a bit, but was Duchovny, famously laconic anyway, always this sedated? Anderson seems equally placid and unhurried on her part, which makes the whole affair seem (as it did when a sneak preview was shown to critics in the summer) slightly off. Out of context in the summer, the clip seemed like a spoof. A large portion of the room was laughing because we thought that’s what it was. Turns out, no, but at least in context there’s less wince-inducing hilarity to the first episode. And yet, nearly every scene seems stunted and out of any kind of dramatic rhythm. Fox only sent out the first episode to critics. I think the placid/sedated acting on the two leads is pretty standard in the old show.

Is Colony more Mr. Robot-USA or more Royal Pains-USA?

It wasn't as strong of a first episode as Mr. Robot (then what is?) but I thought it was pretty solid. Although there was a weird thing going on with USA's web promotion where they're doing some website where you can play games/whatnot and they ask you to join either the Resistance or the Collaborators and the whole thing feels kind of like whoever was behind it didn't watch the show. Because the show paints the Collaborator/Alien side as unequivocal bad guys.

Sleeveless posted:Netflix still got your subscription money and the content you watched still got the viewership credit, that's like the opposite of piracy. They're mad because if you watch US Netflix from Canada, it's like NBC or CBS got paid for the Big Bang Theory episodes you watched instead of CTV even though it doesn't work that way at all.

Going after geododgers will just increase actual piracy. There's no way for them to get the same variety of content across all regions, so the best thing is just to take people's money and look the other way like they've been doing. Guess some partner must have complained about it finally. Really sucks, I'm definitely gonna cancel, my country's selection is absolutely pitiful.

That's because all they've been doing until now is blocking known exit points for proxies, VPNs etc. They have always had the option to lock you to content from your billing address, they just haven't. If they go that route that's it, you're done.

Is there a legal/decently priced way to watch Battlestar Galactica? All I can see is buying it on Amazon or iTunes but its massively overpriced for what I can imagine paying in this day and age of Netflix/Amazon Prime/Hulu. I'm not spending $100 for the Blue Ray and streaming it seems like it would cost twice that. Is this just gonna be a thing where since its so popular with nerds they charge an arm and a leg?

Yeah I have a bunch of things that rely on a US address, where I provide one that I'm allowed to but doesn't have any association to my card. Even Adobe doesn't check this. It's pretty great for getting US pricing on things.

What I'm saying is they probably won't do that because they know it's against their best interests. It's a balancing game for them between making it seem like they're doing enough to crack down on geododging and, well, not actually cracking down on geododging.

It's pretty great for getting US pricing on things. Lots of places don't care because they're the vendor in either case. Bestbuy even straight up has a page telling you what fake billing address to use if you want to buy on .com with a card from outside the US. Anything dealing with licensing though usually has to at a bare minimum require you to have a valid payment method for that country. Even if it's just a gift card.

"Sutherland has recently been cast in a new ABC thriller called Designated Survivor, where he’ll play a man suddenly handed the presidency after a catastrophic attack during the State of the Union address." Watching the gently caress out of that. Bauer in office. That's straight out of a Tom Clancy novel.

Actually back in the day when we employed ethicsists and the like to think about nuclear doctrine, one the ideas floated was to surgically place the codes inside a living Presidential aide so that the President would be forced to kill a man to initiate a launch. That would be great for President Bauer.
