Whats everyones take on australia survivor? Havent been this interested in one for years.
Absolute ****ing trash like every single reality TV show in existence.
If they put Ivan Milat on the island with them I think Survivor would be well worth watching.
Anyone else watching Westworld?
Really getting interesting now
This is now on Netflix.Quote:

Finally picked up the Ash Vs Evil Dead first series the other day. Once again, need to find the time to sit down and give it a proper viewing..
Anyone else caught the finale of Westworld?
Brilliant
Sherlock God Damm!!!!!!!!!!! Best show on tv hands down
Finished Westworld the other week is ****ing epic.Quote:

if so does it stream in HD and is it any good? thinking of switching over from box but can't get definitive answer as to the signal quality.
i used to use Play exclusively at home, but then they stopped supporting the delivery via Xbox live - so i switched over to a set top box. my building is cabled so it's pretty sweet, does all the FTA channels as well so can record etc. the mrs loves that shitQuote:

i think i only pay about 10 bucks more a month for the full package than i did with foxtel play though, and you get Go with a cabled/sat package anyway
just out of interest, why are you thinking of binning it? just to avoid the contract through the dead air between football seasons?
I use both from time to time. Used it for football and it's not too bad (ipad air 1). The wife uses it while she's up feeding the new bub too and it's not too bad even with a reasonably shoddy ADSL connection.Quote:

Reading lately you can run Foxtel play though the Telstra TV device and it runs in HD onto your telly.
They also said that they will eventually provide the Foxtel play ap to support all smart TVs so in theory everything is available 'soon'.
Just going back to a SD picture is not something I'm interested in. I imagine that's what all those poor people in Somalia have to deal with.
No thanks.
Not wired for HD?? What kind of nonsense is that... it's just a satellite on the roof, innit?
BT Sports offer 4K sport packages - how shit is this country for not doing the same.Quote:

It will have to be a joint venture between manufacturers and Foxtel - which at best will mean it will get support in the next generation of TV not current ones.
I'd love to be wrong though.
apartment building. they future proofed it by not bothering with cabling thinking that everything would be through your internet by now.Quote:

but still, right now im watching garbage football in garbage definition.

Game of thrones is a nightmare at the start.
I remember I had a "family tree" of the season 1 cast/story to make life bearable. Would recommend.
Have started watching Westworld and 2 episodes in, I'm curious to see where it goes.
Also watched a couple of episodes of Black Mirror also. Interestingly dark concepts.
Oh man you know me I'm cheering for everyone to get slaughtered.Quote:

Luke Cage is fantastic, agreed.
Black Mirror and Stranger Things also good. Plus there is a bunch of stuff that isn't broadcast on any channel here like The Expanse.
Also, consider investing in some VPN shenanigans. Netflix from US/UK/Canada/Germany etc has a lot more variety.
They also dont work for too long as Netflix shuts them down.Quote:

I don't see why they would/should care. Your still paying for the thing you just want more content. What's wrong with that??
Netflix pay for the right to broadcast movies or shows in a certain geographic zone.Quote:

So it's not Netflix calling the shots here it is the distributors / those holding the rights to the material in specific zones.
The idea of free-markets is just that - an idea. It's not the reality.
There is more than enough content on Netflix Australia. I'm yet to meet anyone that's watched every show on it.
Ahhh that makes sense but wouldn't you want your show/movie getting as much exposure as possible or is it a case of Australian companies being tight arses?Quote:

Obviously, there is also the cases whereby Netflix in Australia outbids the competition for programs as well. In my opinion I think it's a good thing to have Netflix, Stan, Fox, and so on competing for our business.Quote:
