I didn't get the beta invite. :cry:

This is going to be awesome. Turner Classic Movies and Criterion is a match made in heaven. The fact they got other great studios on board like Kino, Milestone, and Flicker Alley is even better.

Will it be available on Apple TV?

The one reason I didn't subscribe to the Warner Archive service was that it only worked with AirPlay from a device rather than direct, which is stupid.

I dropped Hulu last month since I wasn't watching much anyways, but $10.99 is an absolute steal.

They're also going to have The Silence of the Lambs up for two weeks with the laserdisc/DVD commentary (the MGM discs have a different track).

I wonder what the HD service is going to be like - is there a possibility of 4k streaming, like Netflix does, or is that something that gets tied up in streaming rights with the studios?

I'd rather see higher bitrate 1080p than low bitrate 4K. Especially since a lot of the 4K masters like A Hard Day's Night and Blood Simple will look mushy without a bitrate to support the resolution.

Although, I've been impressed with the quality on Hulu compared to Netflix and Amazon Prime.

I watch a lot of stuff on YouTube on my phone, but stuff like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime have been strictly on my TV other than occasionally on my iPad.

The only movie I watched from start to finish on a mobile device was Mean Streets on my old iPod classic in glorious 240p resolution.

I was just about to sign up, but then I saw it requires a 4th gen Apple TV. :argh:
