I'm still trying to figure out what it does and what catchup services it has.

Does it cost anything? If not it looks like a kodi addon would be awesome for it.

EDIT

Ok, just signed up to have a look and it just links to the services and you have to log in. Can't really see the point of it unless i'm missing something.

I was trying to figure that out as well and I couldn't open the link.

I don't think it's anything that Virgin is ever likely to offer, though, from what I can gather.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, can watch first 5 seasons on Amazon Prime. That's my holiday viewing next week sorted!

Yeah its like trakt.tv or tvshowtime but it emails you shows to such as when your show is returning or next episode ect.

Do you guys ever get out?

With the shifts I work, going out socialising is not high on list of priorities. Hence, when I get time off I do stay at home and watch TV. Whether what I watch is good or not is another question for another thread.

Good point, but have you noticed how polluted the air is out there? I think I may live longer than you although you were probably born eons later than me.

If you believe the greenist hype, that is... :disturbd:

That of course depends on where you live!

It seems to me the biggest thing hindering higher takeup of streaming services is the fact not all devices have access to certain key streaming services.

I know this may sound strange to those who have been streaming for a while now, but I think that a lot of people out there (particularly the over 50s) who haven't really figured out how they could access these services, probably because they've not given it much thought, or maybe they believe that these services are only accessible on a computer.

Smart TVs will eventually be in all homes, and as more people get them, I'm sure that more people will become interested in the streaming options available. It is undeniable that the interest in all things on demand is increasing all the time.

Or perhaps you are underestimating the intelligence and wisdom of many of those over 50 who much prefer watching the Linear channels rather then streaming services.;)

Not a denier at all as there is nothing to deny as one has to bear that in a household one has to listen to other peoples TV needs as well as my good self.
