The Popo 11/14/21 5:55:08 PM #1:	Its free. And there are a few things on it that I wouldnt mind seeing. But I feel like there must be some unforeseen downside to it.

InfinityMonster 11/14/21 5:59:19 PM #6:	The only catch is that it's a set catalog of stuff that repeats. Like the Star Trek channel is only the first 4 seasons of TNG on repeat forever. And since it's 24/7, it goes through it like every 3-4 days. And then they'll throw in the movies here and there and some of the Shatner documentaries. --- "It lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge" <cite>InfinityMonster posted [p:960000979] in Is there a...

CoasterFan1990 11/14/21 6:00:55 PM #8:	It's great to use, I've been using for over a year now. I've found movies on it that I don't see on other streaming platforms I mean they have sections dedicated to movies from the 70's,80's and 90's. Horror section,etc. I don't mind the ads because it's good time to find a snack,etc and the movies aren't edited. <cite>CoasterFan1990 posted [p:960001018] in Is there a...

The Popo 11/14/21 6:05:27 PM #11:	Ok, just downloaded it. The thing I was most curious about were 007 movies, since Ive only seen the Brosnan and Craig stuff.

Hexenherz 11/14/21 6:28:13 PM #18:	The big problem is you're 90% beholden to their schedule, though there are ways to find the content you want and stream it specifically. I also second CoasterFan's recommendation of TubiTV, the commercials are a lot less invasive and it's got a huge library of stuff. --- RS3: UltimaSuende https://letterboxd.com/BMovieBro/ <cite>Hexenherz posted [p:960001727] in Is there a...

archedsoul 11/14/21 6:33:04 PM #21:	Pluto is basically ViacomCBS's free version of Paramount+ but curated. I would have preferred something like the free version of NBC's Peacock tbh. Especially since commercials are rarer and they reward you episodes with no ads for no reason. Still gotta give both of them credit.

treewojima 11/14/21 6:41:54 PM #22:	There's no catch, as long as you're happy with less than stellar picture quality and a limited repeating schedule.
