What TV are you watching?

Looks like Fallout series is hitting in April (based on the game).

Just started Monarch: Legacy of Monsters (Apple) - it's great, especially if you like Godzilla and similar stuff.

I've got a good feeling about the Fallout series, it looks like it's keeping to the established lore (to a point) and the advantage of the series is it can be set from a new vault, with new characters and not spoil any of the established games. I'm looking forward to it ☢️

I know that Monty. However after years of him not knowing it he now appears to think he is a "spokesperson" for our nation and some of his "speak" is downright embarrassing.

I love it that Welsh can fall out with each other for being either too Welsh or not Welsh enough.

I sometimes catch SOS extreme rescues on BBC2, the narrator lady on there seems to go to extreme lengths to exaggerate her Welsh accent at times.

I am watching 'Restricted TV' these days.

Finally left the BBC funding scheme due to lack of quality output and other reasons best discussed on political forums.

Youtube, Netflix & Amazon Prime are the household 'go to' choices.

Last night
Star-Trek : Deep Space 9
The episode Badda Bing, Badda Bang
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Badda-Bing_Badda-Bang

Its closing scene is the (self-aware) hologram Vic Fontaine (the actor/singer James Darren) singing an absolutely splendid duet with Captain Sisko (Avery Brooks)

Stumbled across Strike on IPlayer, based on JK Rowling / Bob Galbraith crime drama books, originally aired from 2017 onwards.

Just watched one book/series (3 episodes) so far but its a decent watch.

i really liked them when they were on "normal " telly

my normal telly is a smart TV so they still on normal telly for me

 

[cyberknight]

i mean i watched them not via an app like apple /disney

Going slightly off tangent I just thought I would say I am not a fan of app watching.

Just trying to find what is on and when is incredibly laborious.

Right that is off my chest.

For a bit of light hearted viewing Reindeer Mafia was quite good.

Some Apps are terrible - not a fan of ITVX or BBCi.

I struggle with Pluto and the LG channels on my TV; why cannot there not be is a set screen arrangement for apps preferably with a favourites setting so in Discovery Plus it would open on Cycling straightaway.

Iplayer is great. Rock solid for me. ITVx though - it's unusual that we can get through a program without having to reboot the TV.
Netflix, Amazon, the cycling on Discovery - never an issue. ITVX though..... Pah.

Can you not edit your homepage for apps ? So the one you want is right there - just click and go ?

ITV have always had issues with their apps on all platforms, I use various Roku devices and it will regularly freeze when the adverts finish. I only need to stop the program and restart it though, not reboot the whole TV.

Ooh I hope can catch that.

I like this old episode of Rock Goes To College... especially the bit where she shoves the TV presenter off the stage the moment he appears.
