Glorian Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Getting real tired of this crap. tried watching something on hulu or netflix "This is not avaliable in your country" What a pile of piss. people try to legit do things by the law and not torrent tv shows. but when i can't watched the ONE show i want to watch without being in another country or paying £30 for a dvd i will watch once. I can't blame people for doing it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klingelton Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 What annoys me as much with the streaming ones is "if you want to watch programme x, you need netflix. (£7 a month). if you want programme y, you need amazon instant video (£70 a year) and if you want this programme, you need sky on demand".It irritates the snot out of me that i would need to spend the equivalent of a small country's GDP to watch all the shows i want to watch. not because i watch a lot of TV, but because all what i want to watch is on different services. I can't blame people for theft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glorian Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 Exactly! It's a piss take.. I had amazon prime (free trial) and watched the walking dead. got to season 4 i would have had to pay EXTRA £13 to BUY it ... if i already paid £70 a year for this crap i don't want to BUY the TV shows as well... It's just ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fro Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 To be fair, The Walking Dead is shit. I only managed the first three series before being bored stiff.I get what you mean though - it's no difference to having "regioned" DVDs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klingelton Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 apple tv in the states is good. in the uk, it's a bit shit. if i was to buy everything on there (streaming services) i'd be charged hundreds of pounds every month.I feel like it's all very fragmented and nothing is particularly consumer friendly.the traditional subscription services are all cranking the prices and aren't particularly value for money any more. i'm tempted to not watch tv any more at all.

Glorian Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 I tend to not bother.. I just have netflix for the days i'm bored and want something to watch while i half heartedly try to do stuff around the house Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soll Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 netflix has stargate, breaking bad and Houseof cards... what more do you need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skiffer Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 With these services it was always destined to happen.. its like the individual channel wars of yesteryear. But now you have to pay for every bloody channel as opposed to the 5 (license permitting) freebies.Just opt out and get downloading or a buddy who will download for you.

Grumpy Old Git Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 You lot have no patience!Get a freeview box and wait a year or to and you will get the shows for free! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamBerryKing Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 using a proxy server helps with area / region restrictions too, but this is for pc use mostly. i think if your doing it on your tv you need to manually set up a VPN i think.

mailee66 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 You lot have no patience!Get a freeview box and wait a year or to and you will get the shows for free! Then it will be repeated, again and again and again ad-nauseum. Then all you have to pay is the BBC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt6950 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Sorry if I'm not allowed to post links to this sort of stuff but check outhttps://popcorntime.io/It's kind of like Netflix but instead of browser based it's desktop based and 100% free. can be a bit slow at times etc but a small price to pay for something that's free. Movies and T.v shows on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Ive not had a TV since I threw a boot at Jeremy Paxman 15 years ago. sadly i didn't miss.. but oh what a satisfying POP the TV made when it fell off its stand and hit the floor. just thinking about everything Ive missed. 19 seasons of big brother. the daily doom and gloom that is Eastenders. The total lack of comedy that is the modern Coronation street. soundbite news. david camerons voice. george osbornes pasty millionaire face. clarkson being a tit. adverts for crap i don't need. being constantly warned about flash photography. and Jeremy Paxman being a twat and as a rule asking all the wrong questions. Though i understand he's moved on.if theres anything i specifically want to watch.. i use the various "i" services... as for the rest, formulaic tedium. no thanks. as for PAYING for TV. you have got to be kidding.One hidden satisfaction is with TV licensing. telling them when they turn up at my door.. "just a sec while I grab my camera.. so i can publish our 'discussion' on youtube" the look of fear and dust rising from heels as they RUN. is very funny... makes my day.

The Hitcher Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 UK Netflix is pretty bad, except for like the poser above mentioned-Stargate and House of Cards, there is a FireFox add on called Hola that makes it look like you're logging in from the US(or other Country of your choice) and US Netflix is much better.This is only helpful if you watch on your computer though.

Steve D Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 What about filmon free. I know it works on iPad and iPhone. I have used it abroad before to watch UK channels that you can't watch abroad on BBCIplayer or itv player. Not sure about pc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
