That’s Netflix raising prices again, straight after Disney. We seem to be at the price-gouging stage of the business cycle. I reckon once these services start to cost as much as Sky, people will start to pick and choose which they keep on instead of having ’em all at once.

This is true, except you can probably cover at least two households, maybe three with both platforms. Amazon is a bit trickier as they get access to your prime account too, but I have four family members on my Netflix and my Daughter on my Disney+. Still better value than Sky.

Even though I nick my sisters Sky Go, they hobble the digitally service, with only stereo sound and definitely no 4K.

Anyone who watched the Adam Curtis documentary - in one of the middle episodes - the lordly ones - there was a bit about the composer Rutland Boughton of the Opera called The Immortal Hour (the Lordly Ones song comes from that).

What were people’s imaginations about Rutland Boughton if they had no idea about him before the show?

I got into trouble at school when that was originally aired, as the teacher overheard me asking the kid beside me if he had seen the tits in the previous night's episode.

SPOILERS!

I'm sure you could see muff in a poster on the wall at one point.

Perry mason remake was pretty great all round.

I yarred it. I swear a few of you in the uk need to get together with a plex account. 

Would only take one person with a good connection and a laptop/external drive and you could basically have a badger server with all the awkward stuff. (I share my plex with 4 folks who are in Melbourne (and one in ireland, which is too far) and they all get full HD if I've DLed 1080p rips.)

Isn't the old guy in it dead now anyway? What's the point?

They'd need to have a really good connection though. I shared some files from my NAS with a friend, they started downloading in the evening and totally crippled our netflix watching.

At 1080p? 35mbps equates to about 4MB/s right? Seems pretty low to stream decent quality, or does plex allow for some buffering?

i get 900 up and down now

I think Mk just volunteered to be the server.

And down.

Fraiser is returning to tv with a followup series. As much as id like to know what fraiser and niles etc are up to, i think its gonna disappoint. Fraiser was a excellent show. It a high bar to live up to.

None of the original cast other than Kelsey Grammar are currently confirmed either, so you'll get plenty of Frasier, but possibly not a lot of Niles.

There's also the possibility that this will be a complete ego trip for avowed right winger Grammar and an attempt to 'own the libs' in the style of Tim Allen - although unless Frasier has had some kind of head injury in the intervening years it's unlikely. Although stranger things have happened. Either way, it can only end badly.

I'd have assumed a Cheers spin off wouldn't work, these things tended not to, so I will keep a tiny bit of an open mind. 

This does feel like they only have one member of what was actually an ensemble though. Sitcoms have changed dramatically as well, the multicam style helped the farce a lot and I doubt that's what anyone would do these days.

We're around 90-100 down and 35 up. I've had 3 of us online streaming with someone watching plex elsewhere and it's been fine.

(pretty sure there's a free trial and you can go by the month for like aus$6 and cancel any time to test. It has a pretty great interface and you can literally watch a line graph of how much its using. (it really doesn't scratch 30 up.))

Recently discovered the joy of Plex, really handy. Need to pay to share server but it's a 4 quid monthly sub or a lifetime one off payment of 95 I think.
