Here in the Prison Board BBS in Dallas, Texas I heard abot the FSX Chat
today. Just what I've wanted for a while, a message base spanning
multiple BBSs.

For a while I've tried to call the various BBSs to meet the occasional
person on it, but local active boards are few. Was happy to see so
much activity on this network.

So anyway... hi! :D

So fascinating reads on the CoronaVirus. I'll go with the common cold related virus that like many virus' tend to hit those with weak immune
systems the hardest.

Aside from that, Mandolorian was a fun watch. Also enjoying the
Expanse, Lost in Space, Brooklyn 99. Want to see second season of
Final Space at some point.

That's good for starters. What shows are you watching out there?

Hola,
Hertzlich Wilkommen to FSX...

I don't watch much TV these days.... Missus discovered Black Lightning on Nitflux recently, it hasn't been bad...

Lightning on Nitflux recently, it hasn't been bad...

I was never much into TV but I like to watch the news or a hockey game
once in a while. I have decoupled from the cable now. I can watch youtube
and netflix with my blue-ray player so that's all I ever use.

There are all kinds of streaming services though, my lady friend watches
all her usual shows on her tablet. I'm not exactly sure how she does that
but cable isn't needed anymore.

Yeah, the connection is wifi. We have no data plan for the tablet. I
don't know how she gets all her TV shows though. She just keeps pressing buttons until it does what she wants I guess.

Hi Al,
In a message to Spectre you wrote:

Many of the TV companies offer streaming directly from their websites of with dedicated "apps" for a tablet/phone.

globaltv.com (live or via an app)
cbc.ca (live on the site, or via their Gem app)

Some tv stations offer "free" periods:

cbs.com (the call it CBS All Access)
cbsallaccess.ca

Select "shows" are available to stream on pbs.com (but restricted to USA)

And so on.


Bye bye!

I'll have to check out A&E and see if I can watch any of their stuff.

These guys make me crazy with their advertising. One minute of adds for a
30 second video although I found Hey Lady! there the other day. Reminds
me of Auntie!

I wonder if the beach combers are still on.. :)

Reviews don't sway me. :-) I agree it's not the best, but I too enjoyed the first season! Watched a bit of the second, but then other shows 'came back' - Walking Dead, Clone Wars, and then I found Dispatches from Elsewhere! Loving that for sure!

I watched the first episode of Dispatches from Elsewhere and it is weird. I'm not sure if I will watch the next episodes. Interesting find though.

It's up to three episodes and I'm hooked. :-)

It reminds me of a cross between Geocaching (hidden in plain site)
and an Escape Room (looking for clues and solving puzzles.)

I'd love to be involved in something like that for real! :-)

Britbox eh? Need to check that out. I've been tempted to get the
BBC online service since the advertisements at the beginning of the
Doctor Who DVDs say it is available for free. Tempted.

Saw a little bit of Black Lightning. Thought it was cool that recently
when they had the crisis on infiniate Earths they brought Black
Lightning into the regular Arrow verse with Arrow, Flash, Supergirl and
all them.

Oh yeah! Used to be able to do the BBC/Channel 4 & such with the VPN...but
none of the broadcasters over there (even radio stations) are anal about any non-UK viewers. BBC America is just mainly American fare with a few BBC programs thrown in to say they are BBC. I get EastEnders & such same day...along with news.

Acorn TV is another one which features more than UK fare...but either one is
so much better than anything I had on Netflix...especially since they got rid of the shows I love the most like Doctor Who/Mission: Impossible.

Got a link for this service? In terms of BritBox...well worth the $6.99 a month...plus I watch it much more than I used to watch Netflix.

Well, it came on a Doctor Who DVD that was released earlier this year.
So seems highly probable.

Well the one mentioned in the advertisement it was BBC America. I
think they mention it as "free" if you have a cable service. :P

Have to check out the other ones. Seems between Netflix, Hulu,
Disney, and BBC I will be paying about a cable subscription, but this
is the way I wanted it: The way to choose your own options.

NP. It does make sense that on like Sling & other services...it is part of
many lower tiers.

Am watching Father Brown...along with other shows which aren't on PBS here in the states. Still irritates me that many UK services use geolocation to keep those like me from getting a free ride. Wish there was a way the BBC would
sell a license like they do there. Would love to be able to watch many of my favorites live.
