But Is It on Netflix? - Streaming Video Service Thread: Hulu, Amazon Prime, Apple TV+, Disney+, Peacock, YouTube TV, AT+T Watch, Philo, Playstation Vue, HBO Max, HBO Now, Facebook Live and many more

Netflix, meanwhile is still padding its numbers of films earlier than, oh, 1996, with such fare as racist but copyright-free WW2 propaganda films.

AMC holding out on Hulu means their viewership is just going to fucking drop off and everyone will torrent their shows.

if you want to be UP ON modern TV CULTURE

Not guilty.

I have a TV, and library DVDs. That's about it.

Cancelled Hulu and signed up for Netflix this morning, and this afternoon my physical TV (which I used to watch network shows and other stuff via a digital antenna) died. But it seems like a replacement will cost less than $150, so I'll probably buy one in a couple of weeks.

I have a weirdly proportioned living room and watch most movies/netflix/whatever there and am in a constant struggle between moving the couch closer in a way that seems awkward and just being more comfortable with increasingly larger screens

if I’m sitting nearly twelve feet away and love movies, I need more than a 50” screen, right? probably no

i have a 50" screen at 8 feet away and that's about perfect imo. i'd go at least one size up at 12 feet

thank you for your enabling

We have a 60" (it came with the apt) and have two couches set up in an L shape. I think the viewpoints are 6-9* away and 11". We also have a rower at around the 10-11" mark and I have really terrible eyesight (like - 10 in each eye for contact lenses) and all seems fine.

Ugh but I also have maybe a 30 inch or something 20" away, high up, and that was probably a bad idea.

want to give you a sympathy hug for that -10 nearsightedness

"The long-running British sci-fi series Doctor Who will stream exclusively on HBO Max, including the last 11 seasons, which will be available at launch."

...if the previous 26 seasons are not available at launch, is that because another entity has the rights to stream them, and therefore it will not stream exclusively on MAX?

From Boxing Day, 627 episodes predating the last 11 seasons will be available for streaming on Britbox.

i have no clue why I was using a * and " to stand in for feet (') above. I am blaming my eyesight.

This looks good!

So when Disney+ launches next week, will all Disney IP vanish from Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc., etc.? Will you be *forced* under their umbrella if you want to watch, say, Black Panther after Tuesday?

looks like they're expiring title by title depending when they arrived: https://www.whats-on-netflix.com/leaving-soon/disney-movies-leaving-netflix-in-2019-2020/amp/

so glad i have another full year to weigh watching Nutcracker and the Four Realms

can't find anything on 20th Century Fox content, idk. maybe assume the worst and prioritize your watchlist accordingly.

(perhaps worth noting that $74 goes to NF Sunday Ticket and $29 to NBA League Pass there but even so)

I got $52/month

I pay a bit more, but mostly due to the inclusion of Playstation Vue (soon to be RIP) which lets me watch a bunch of things as they're released, access a bunch of tv station apps directly, and has a DVR feature that skims all of the Law & Order episodes which are *not* on any streaming services for me to binge when I'm half-paying attention

I got all kinds of vintage/exploitation/random flicks on Sling, when I subscribed, via El Rey network. Not sure if they still carry it, or if it'd be worth returning to.

I got $63/month -- which is probably about what I currently pay, but I pay Amazon and Britbox already on an annual basis so it isn't exact -- and I'm okay with not having "everything" tbh -- so much programming is functionally interchangeable if you just want to have something moderately interesting to watch while eating dinner alone.

$21/mo which is about right, still need to cancel netflix

disney is gonna offer an ESPN/Hulu/Disney+ bundle for a reasonable price. sounds good if i can still get the ad-free version of hulu (the with-ads version is nearly unusable imo)

&13/mo, because I like Seinfeld lol. No offense but this streaming thing is a little *trumpetsound.wav* out there for me.

$ that is, though I wish I could pay with &'s

i'm down to just amazon now and that's going away for good in a few months when my sub is up

The bundle they're advertising is Hulu with ads. I'm hoping an adless upgrade will be available...

$20/mo. on first run-through, when I didn't realize I could do multiple selections, and even then I still skipped all options on questions #1, #5 and #6, so I ended up with only:

Criterion Channel: $10.99 (Which is actually less as I locked in the charter member rate and will never let go)
Amazon Prime: $8.99 (I like Maisel, what can I say?)
Shout! Factory TV: Free (Wait, this is free?!)

Did a second runthrough where I selected everything I "wanted" (including knowing that Stranger Things stood in for Netflix, and I know there's other stuff on there I do watch), and it came to $58/mo.

They need to also bundle in music streaming services for this to be truly accurate.

tbh - and i suppose this goes without saying - this "online test" is probably not the best way to decide your bundles as it is hella arbitrary

As free ads go, it's about as effective as I've ever seen, as it pushed me as close to adding Shudder and Shout! Factory TV (which is not free) as I've been thus far.

Yeah, definitely good advertising --

gonna pass on Criterion because I still have most of my pre-streaming era DVDs and VHS tapes which are mostly Criterion-esque

Emphasis on free (just handed over to streaming services) advertising to be clear.

oh definitely!

all these companies should band together and create a bundle where we can pay one monthly fee to access all these services. they could even name it after the infrastructure that delivers the media to our computers.

we'll call it "cable"

i kinda like this balkanization tbh --

Don't really understand how to watch tv no more tbh.

I'm doing Hulu with Live TV and HBO: $60/mo. Netflix at $12, amazon (yearly). Disney launched today, no? I can't find it as an add on in Hulu this morning.

it's a stand-alone service: https://www.disneyplus.com/

"There will be nothing on Disney+ that's not branded or family-friendly," Kevin Mayer, the chairman of Disney's direct to consumer division, said during a preview event at the Disney studios, USA Today reports.

But despite the vast selection, Disney has positioned Hulu as its adult alternative which will house R-rated content. The "Deadpool" films that are produced by Fox but star Marvel characters are among the films that call Hulu home.

So where is non-kiddie Fox stuff like "Alien" going to go?

hulu, i believe

But of course I assume there is no "Disney+/Hulu" bundle without ESPN, right?

Anyway, I filled out that Times thing and it told me I would continue to subscribe to Netflix (free with my phone plan), Amazon (free with my Prime), Criterion, maybe Hulu (my $1 a month promo runs out in two weeks), maybe Disney+ (could be a Hanukkah present), and that all the other movies and TV I want to watch not covered by the aforementioned I'll probably torrent as needed. Which was a surprisingly accurate prediction!

Amazon (free with my Prime)

that is how they want you to think of it! what's it up to now? $112/yr or something?

we’ve been doing Amazon, Netflix & Vue on our PS4 plus an antenna with tivo Roamio for regular tv free to air stuff and torrentz for anything else.

with Vue going away we’re stuck looking at options again and ugghh

i mean Vue kinda drove me nuts but it was good for what it was.

i guess apple tv is what we’ll end up doing but i am not 100% clear on ~when~ the promised ps4 support is coming? seemed like this year sometime but idk

Disney+ has launched, with the first 19 seasons of The Simpsons stretched out sideways to fit some exec’s office TV screen
