Random Irritations

Owch, from Game? I've seen a press release saying something about not being able to book enough couriers.
Mine was delivered at about 1.30 ??

Mine was Amazon, had an update to say it was delayed due to external factors but then it came at 4. The 3 year old was very happy.....as was his dad

Internet 'experts', especially in the fields of corona-virus and football.

Come on we are just incredibly lucky that so many of them are on this forum so we get such excellent views without having to get elsewhere.

Why can't you get Amazon tv on a Sky Q box?

Right agreements. Just like you can't get sky go on Amazon firesticks.

Even iPlayer on sky q is a water down version compared to normal

Sure, but sooner or later all this petty squabbling between providers needs to stop. It's pathetic. Similarly Apples use of lightning cables instead of USB.
Standardisation would be a good thing, and really shouldn't be so difficult.

Another example is I can't watch ITV hub live on my LG TV due to a squabble between LG and ITV. I can watch something on repeat, but not live. (For clarity I do not have a TV aerial, so everything is streamed or Sky).

Battlestar Galactica is set 150,000 years in the past though.

OK, I did not know that!

Yeah the lack of everything in one place is a pain. I built a mini pc and use that for for streaming services.

It's like the TV rights. They say the anti monopoly law is to protect customers and give us better value for money

But tell me how paying bt sport , sky and Amazon is value than just having it all via sky for one fee

I presume rights is the reason Netflix has incomplete series?
A friend recommended "Lucifer" to us. Netflix has series 4 & 5, but not 1, 2 & 3. What use is that to anyone?

Yeah that's the reason

Like modern fAmily they have 1-8 now I think

Sky have 9-10 and 11 is awaiting on demand

Great value for money

I just watched 1-8 on netflix then downloaded the rest. I still pay my fees they will be on there eventually just I'll prob be dead by then

1, 2 & 3 are on Amazon if you are still searching. If you know that, don't have Amazon and are cursing then I apologise. Hunt the series is a pain when this happens.

OK, I did not know that!

I reckon George Lucas ripped them off on the old “a long time ago...” thing. ?

 

[Deleted member 18645]

OK, I did not know that!

That is only revealed in the very last two minutes of the series. And the producer of the show, Ronald Moore, is the guy reading the paper at the news-stand.

Battlestar came out in 1978

Star wars 1977

 

[Deleted member 18645]

Battlestar came out in 1978

Star wars 1977

But the original Battlestar makes no official reference to the time line and does not find Earth until the truly diabolical Galactica 1980 series came out. The re-boot spins off in many directions before the final episode.

So then Lucas can't have stole it as star wars was 1977 way before the lot

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

Battlestar Galactica is set 150,000 years in the past though.

Now I did not know that and I shall now have to try and forget it since they are trying to find an earth that will still be very primitive...

Spoilers can't excist if something's been in the public domain for over a year

Then it's just bad luck if you come across it
