Paramount+

I thought prime did interface into Apple TV?
I don’t use my Apple TV tv interface at all really so I need to give it a try. We are multi user to its all a bit of a pain I have found. Why oh why it couldn’t ask you to pick the user when it boots I have no idea.

They’ve enabled 5.1 in the android TV app!. I presume it happened in the latest update. I was looking for an option someone had mentioned in the subtitles menu and saw it was there and selected… checked on the Sonos and it was getting 5.1 - it had always seen 2.0 before.

Yay they are up to the 2010 level for streaming, 4k hdr next I guess.
Such a pity as Picard would have looked cool in 4K HDR

I don’t think it was shot in 4k… even on amazon prime it’s only 1080p.

No one knows, 4k cameras as so common its unlikely it wasnt, prime wont get a higher quality cut than they have on their own service.
Discovery on netflix had HDR but couldnt get 4k source as CBS All Access (which became p+) didnt support 4k so they didnt want it being higher quality outwith the USA/Can and I would expect the same policy here. Prime only has it because of the poor sign ups of p+ and delay of getting it out the door but they wouldnt put the best quality on a competitor.

It’s next on my list and is available on CH5 for those who don’t have Paramount+

Is it in 4K like the USA yet?

Yeah I feared as much, USA gets quite a lot of 4K.

It seems Paramount+ has got rid of many of their UK originals from the platform. Seems a bit rubbish considering there were very few other new shows apart from these recently. It wouldn’t surprise me if a few end up on Channel 5 at some point. Fairly sure an older UK original also ended up being broadcast on C5.

However, I do kinda agree with the reasoning. I highly doubt these UK originals were bringing new people to the service. People aren’t really going to pay £6.99 for “The Serial Killer’s Wife” or “The Burning Girls”. It will almost always be the bigger franchises brining people to a service.

Although I do wish all platforms would bring in a “leaving soon” menu/warning. Would stop people starting shows that are leaving in a few days.

It’s still free with Sky Movies if that helps anyone

I thought I’d watched all of Evil on Alibi, so was a bit confused. Googling it seems that the forthcoming fourth season has moved from CBS to Paramount. But as far as I can tell that hasn’t even been filmed yet, let alone broadcast. So nothing to sit on yet.

Hopefully once it exists something will be worked out, would be annoying to not be able to finish a show due to having no access to it!

Is this still the plan? I think they have recently become less enthusiastic about launching Max everywhere. They recently renewed a deal with Sky (not our Sky) in New Zealand I believe. If our Sky offers enough money, it wouldn’t surprise me if HBO shows continue to remain on Sky.

Thanks. I will wait

I’ve had subs do this a couple times in the past after a decline, usually give it a few days but then stop the service.

I’m sure game pass is or was one of those.

Unsure if you’ve Apple TV but I’d absolutely recommend that for tv stuff. So much on there I’ve loved, never really seen any advertising for it either.

Yellowjackets is excellent and I hope you enjoy the rest of season two. If you have time after and like comedies with a little bit of an edge, Minx is well worth watching.

Apparently (according to Dr Google) the trick is to turn subtitles OFF. That is what then makes the missing alien language subtitles appear.

It sounds absolutely mad, but must be worth a try.
