I've been binging the second season of Reacher on there (don't judge me!) since last Friday and the first 6 episodes were ad free with Dolby Vision and Atmos, then suddenly last night on the final two episodes I got pre-roll ads, only one each episode and no Dolby Vision or Atmos.
This wasn't too bad, the adverts were only for 40 seconds and I still got a UHD/HDR picture with Dolby 5:1 sound, if this is the extent of their changes then its certainly something I can live with, but does anyone think it will be all? I certainly don't!
In one aspect on the whole streaming subject I agree with OLD BOY that sooner or later streaming will be the dominant entertainment delivery method, but how long before we're back to the old ways of being forced to pay for services we don't want and have minimum term contracts forced on us?
The new shiny future is rapidly becoming just like the past!
