I’ve just looked at the channels on Samsung TV Plus. I have a load of Pluto TV Channels but not the Pluto TV Sci Fi channel.

I also seem to have a dedicated Baywatch channel.

There is an actual pluto tv app from the samsung app menu, I've just installed it.

I assume there is an app for other smart tv's too.

I looked for the app on my Samsung and it doesn't seem to be there. I have a Fire Stick plugged into it and there is a Pluto TV app for that though.

Do you have the google play store? pluto app is in there on my samsung galaxy s6 phone. Although the reviews say it has a lot of adverts. (Guess that is to be expected if free). Will try it out myself tonight. Hopefully it can cast to my chromecast on the tv.

No, but I've got the Pluto TV app via the Fire Stick now.

Ok downloaded the andriod app to my phone from google play store and it casts ok to my chromecast :cool: just watching the pluto sci fi channel (channel 52) (showing "flash gordon" in black and white currently). Think that is correct channel?
 
I’m finding it hard work to watch. The camera work is all over the place. It’s either quick cut between cameras so you don’t have time to focus before it’s switched view, or it’s one camera running around after characters and rushing to get to whoever is speaking, or in slow bits the cameraman slowly moving around and bobbing about because they’re in a dinghy or something. Whatever, it’s making me seasick.

Did anyone manage to figure out how to watch it on Pluto in the end? Sailing the high seas seems like much the easier option.

I watched it via the Pluto TV app I’d downloaded to my Fire Stick. It was a strange experience having to sit down in front of the TV at a set time to watch something. I haven’t done that (apart from sporting events) in years!

I didn’t even find the ad breaks too intrusive either.
 
watching it now

its not hd so that'll piss some people off


but its free so thats something

first ad at 22min in thats better than some normal channels

:hmm:
 
ah still cool to let people know :)


maybe its a the no hd thingy on pluto but it does appears if maybe the budget got cut a little does not look as polished as eariler seasons
 
Yeah reviews complained about number of adverts but it was only about 3 or 4 ads every 20 mins or so. Think it must be younger people not used to ads.

Didn't have any problems with the stream freezing either unlike iplayer for example.

To be honest i never really notice the difference with sd and hd.

may depend on your telly can see the difference meself

the ads are on the same scale as normal telly well terresital telly


star trek of the scifi channel on cable has more ads per hour
 
also the best way to tell between SD and HD is how good the Black Colour looks on screen


saying that how a tv Shows that colour is a pretty good guide to if the tv is any good :)
 
Slowly watching this, up to episode 3 now. One thing I just noticed is that, while they're clearly making a big effort at representation in a variety of spheres - race, gender, gender identity, body type - we seem to have lost the international representation that the original ST had. All the humans on board seem to be American, there are no foreign accents that I've noticed at all.
 
Also, what is with all the whispering at each other? It's getting really stupid - they were even doing it during a meeting where they were sat around a table. Just talk like normal people!
 
latest episode might hint to the series getting a fire under it arse and getting going

first 3-4 did kinda feel like fillers setting up the story

this episode worrying computer developments and mabye an evil angry genius

Can i ask in what sort of miltary would you ship giving itself a first name not be seen as more of a problem
no one in star fleet seems to give a shite :D

more so we ran from the past to get away from AI
 
This series is mostly better than the previous three dumpster fire seasons, but it's still just not really very good is it.
