It’s not actually an original series, but they picked it up after the AT&T streaming service it was on went under. Can’t recommend it enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did I miss someone mentioning that? kinonow dot com Kino Now has been around for a couple of years as a VOD service. What launched this past weekend was KINO CULT, which focuses exclusively on the horror/action/sci-fi/cult film side of their catalog. It is ad-supported, I havent had a chance to watch anything yet but hoping its more like Tubi and Roku Channel where its only 5 or 6 ad breaks per movie and they are all done at scene breaks and not the Crackle "4 minutes of ads every 10 minutes whether there's a proper scene break or not", though most ad-supported stuff seems to be the former these days. Overall collection looks decent, not super large but every press release I saw noted that more movies will be added monthly, though you can also tell its mostly movies that they have probably made the money KL is going to make on physical Blu-ray sales already. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elizium Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Watching a movie on Kino Cult right now and the ad break placements have been horrendous. Watching the documentary London in the Raw and one commercial break came right in the middle of a variety show song they're filming. Pretty much every 10 minutes on the dot 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elizium Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 I'm watching The Wanderers on Kino Cult (I watch this movie at least once a year and have for like 20 years) and the commercials are coming exactly every 5 minutes. Four commercials each break, rotating through 6 different commercials. It is driving me mad, especially because the commercials are way louder than the movie. I really want to love this service, but what was annoying during London in the Raw is becoming unwatchable with this movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technico Support Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Paging @Craig H It appears HBO Max for Roku has updated itself a few times and is a LOT more usable now, at least for some. It's definitely better on my 3-ish year old Insignia Roku TV. YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HBO Max, Apple+, YTTV, etc. all work really well on it. I had stopped using the app on the Roku TV altogether because I would keep trying to select my profile when you open the app and nothing would happen until you clicked on it 4 or 5 times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Quote NBCUniversal has announced a new theatrical windowing model that will stream most titles from Universal Filmed Entertainment Group (UFEG) exclusively on Peacock as early as 45 days after their theatrical and PVOD release. This distribution model will begin with the studio’s 2022 film slate and will maintain UFEG’s existing PVOD deals with exhibition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coletti Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 YouTube TV just lost ABC, ESPN, The Disney Channel, FX, and more due to failing to come to an agreement with The Mouse. Bill will be reduced but really sucks here as the only local network channel for NH is WMUR ABC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it well enough. The interface is a little weirder than other cable-replacement services I’ve used (Sling and Fubo) but you get used to it. You need to pay extra to have their library stuff be commercial free, which is lame. The DVR also has maybe 2:30 of unskippable commercials every 2nd or 3rd break unless you pay extra and that’s kinda shitty but I DVR so little I don’t sweat it too much. Their channel lineup is good except no AMC. Their library is decent. Feel free to reach out if you have any other specific questions! Also, by ditching YouTube TV, you give a little less personal data to Google! Edited December 20, 2021 by Technico Support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, every time they have to do this negotiation and such and such media conglomerate threatens to pull their stuff, it's so frustrating. A la carte TV can and never will happen, it seems.
