I'm a bit of a new age fuddy duddy when it comes to streaming/phsyical media. I've purged myself of most of my physical stuff, but I'm still a stickler for having a local copy of my media. I can't stand the thought of watching a show and not have it sitting there in Plex as a bit of a memorial in case I ever want to watch it again (which in all reality, I won't). That on top of thought that a streaming service could just stop showing a show/movie makes me uncomfortable.

I'm now on the verge of getting some decent internet in which I'll be able to watch a 720p video (or better!) without having to stop and pause so I'm now weighing up my options for Netflix etc. But now I find myself in another lovely situation. I'm going to be paying more for this internet, and it's going to have a 200GB data cap. This has opened up the possibility of paying for Amazon, Netflix, WWE network, UFC Fightpass, NFL Gamepass, the NHL equivilant, Hulu, Spotify etc which are all things I consume (steal) content from currently.

In summary, I'm going from paying very little for an unlimited but slow as gently caress internet connection and getting all my content for the cost of a VPN service (albeit delayed) to paying more for a capped data connection which now opens up the door for an opportunity to spend about 100 bucks more per month for the legitimate streaming options. I'm so confused!

Use Kodi. You can bypass all that malarky and have access to everything, ever.

Ahaha, you're assuming a guy named Blackadder hasn't already seen a show with Hugh Laurie?!

Well in this case you're right. I haven't seen Chance yet so thanks for the recommendation. One question though, is it deeper than "House but with Psychology"?


Thanks, hmm, haven't seen any of these save Black Sails. Incorporated looks like my kind of show, how good is it? The only SyFy produced show I've liked in recent memory was The Expanse, most SyFy productions come off as too hamy for my tastes.

Incorporated is a good show.

Sy-Fy is going through a renaissance.

It's not, it's a media server.

You can access legal or illegal content through it, depending on your level of caring about rules.

But installed as a bog stock download, it's just like Plex.

being open source... people makes crazy plugins.

Just watched the trailer, seems like they were going for Gattaca: The Series, looks interesting, I'll check it out.

On that note, how are Channel Zero, Hunters, The Magicians, and Dark Matter?

Haven't seen either the first two, i like Magicians, but it's got book baggage people can't let go.
Dark Matter has Roger Cross. Doesn't need much more.
Killjoy's is also good. In a "we don't have the Expanse budget" kinda way.

We had a 200gb data cap for like 3 months before the shitstorm of public response made them raise it to 1000gb (which, this month, we've used half of, and that includes downloading a lot of large PS4 games).

Which areas still have a 200gb cap? That would indeed be awful.

Australia does, for sure and it's slow as gently caress.

This.

I can't even get ADSL2+ in my area despite living 25km from the CBD of the second biggest city in the country. Wireless is my only option, hence the 200GB cap. There are 50/12 and 12/5 plans which both poo poo on my current 1.5/.5 speed. I'll go the slower of the two so I can pay for a bigger cap.

How much data does an hour of 1080p video on something like Netflix use up?

bout 3 gig an hour.

It was renewed not just for season 5 but a final season 6 too, so they can close the story out the way they want.

FX has been a champ sticking with The Americans despite it never having the ratings or awards recognition it deserves. Season 4 was fantastic.

I'm told, apparently Amerikee doesn't like Russians.

Samurai Jack is 100% my most anticipated show of 2017.


Second episode of 24 Legacy was so blah I could barely pay attention. Meanwhile 10 minutes into the APB show and it's far more compelling with an incredibly likable lead. The tech seems to have been borrowed wholesale from the Robocop remake but it's nothing I can't look past. Of course since I like this it will get a single short season and not get picked up in 2018.

Is it like future CSI and science cops?
