I never claimed I "matched" it nor do I try. My claim it that it is a far better experience for me. Much cheaper. No distractions. No inconsiderate assholes. Can pause and rewind. No driving and looking for parking. No planning my evening around theater schedules. No ads. Same movie. Good enough.

You're still trying to push the old vinyl vs mp3 type argument again. Enjoy your vinyl if it makes you feel special. I'm happy with my convenient mp3s.

Saw that at the theater. I was disappointed. Saw Solo next. It was so bad, I haven't seen anything Star Wars since. My last trip to the theater was for Joker. The first one, not the musical sequel. I enjoyed it. Not what I expected, but good anyway. But then COVID happened and I beefed up my home theater setup. I have no interest in going back.

And I'm not sitting 50 feet away from it. I have a 75 inch 4K HDR TV and a Sony sound system. I can sit as close as I want. Or I can fire up my projector on the 120 inch screen.

Last time I went some idiot kept checking his phone down in front of me. During dark scenes, I would have a big spot my night vision and take time to recover. Still not as bad as the time some asshole was taking pictures of his family during the start of the movie. Flash photography blindness takes much longer to overcome.

Something I do not care if I miss, just like the teen behind me talking during the whole movie and his girlfriend telling him to shut up. I also don't miss the guy ripping farts for the whole two hours. Can't move because my seat is assigned now.

Ads just make the experience worse. On my last trip, I took my son and it cost way more than buying the BluRay. A single bucket of popcorn, two drinks and tickets for two cost me $75 bucks. Atmos and a 90 foot screen aren't worth $75 to me especially when you throw in all the other problems.

Dude... It's not just one network. Perhaps you are unaware with the NBC, Washington Post and CNN settlements to Nick Sandmann. Or the defamation settlement by ABC to Donald Trump. Or the CBS alteration of the Kamala Harris' gibberish interview followed by a lawsuit. CBS is trying to settle with a lowball offer and their enablers are jumping ship. Just to be fair, look at Fox News' settlement to Dominion. Even Karine Jean-Pierre wrote a book on the Biden denials that were true. And apparently she was working on that book while still acting as press secretary.

These are all irrespective of the years and years of other repeated lies and calls to ignore our own eyes and ears. This is why the mainstream media is losing out to social media. It might be time to exit that smug bubble.

They raised my fee. And kept raising it. That's why I cancelled. I have no desire to pay extra for video I don't watch, Music I don't listen to or whatever else "free" media they want to bundle into my price.

Noted nutcase AmiMoJo refuses to admit he was wrong, even though NBC News and the San Antonio Police Department both admit they were duped by Joss's transsexual "husband". Matt Walsh lays out all the receipts from credible news organizations, including videos of Joss and his neighbors, but AniMoJo puts his fingers in his ears and screams, "La La La La La". If he is representative, it's no wonder why the UK has become a clown show.

Informative? +4? Jesus. Misinformation, maybe...

I'll see your NBC News link and raise you one NBC News link. You can't hate the mainstream media enough for jumping to publish this kind of uncorroborated hearsay gossip posing as news. Do you see why we don't trust the MSM anymore?

Matt Walsh has a more in-depth and researched report if you are interested in the real story behind the story.

That's what I remember too. I recall thinking they would have to work hard just to be on par with Lost in Space. The Sci part of their Sci-Fi seemed to be in short supply. I never could summon enough interest to try later attempts.

I make no judgment on the morality of geofencing or bypassing copyright in general. I do make moral judgments on hypocrites like Computershack who condemn IPTV users while ignoring the copyright rules he finds inconvenient.

You begin by leading by example, not hypocrisy. When I am lectured by anyone whose carbon footprint is many orders of magnitude greater than my own about how I need to ride my bicycle to the grocery to save the planet while they fly in private jets for the lecture, they can kiss they darkest part between my ass cheeks. At least Greta understood this during her 15 minutes. John Kerry, Bill Gates and all the "Rules for thee, not for me" bunch need to put up or shut up.

Geofencing is a copyright protection just as much as DVD region encoding and encryption are. If you are not licensed to watch a video because of your location, using VPN to mask your location is violating the copyrights of the owner.

The priests and the prophets shall not be held accountable for their sins for they are The Anointed and the True Believers. Yea, though the salt of the Earth shall all bow before the Carbon God and give sacrifice to receive redemption and salvation for everlasting virtue.

So you openly admit you violate copyright protections by concealing yourself with a VPN. When F1TV discovers you and cancels your account, who will you virtue signal to then? You are no different legally than the "pirates" who PAY for IPTV other than in your own mind.

I have noticed a trend around here that began before COVID. Restaurant remodels started building open sheet metal ceilings with echoes so bad you can't talk to the person across the table. Throw in piped-in-music to help raise the racket level and it's a recipe for me to find somewhere else to spend my money. These aren't your typical slacker WiFi hangout spots either.
