Discussion General Discussions about streaming services

Don't know about that. But they got one of the worst streaming service. Video quality is bad. No offline feature is provided. There is no watchlist. Sony Liv and Zee5 are better than them. Sadly all content from Vice and BBC comes to Discovery+.

Bad video quality on Discovery Plus? Are you kidding?

Will you consider ever creating a thread or writing an article about International OTTs? About who owns what. With all the acquisition. It's really confusing

Will do when I find time.

Another question. Who owns new content from Fox channel after Disney's acquisition?

The new content on FOX channels are owned by multiple companies bro. Let's take recent shows for example, The Big Leap is owned by Disney's 20th Television like many of the shows that air on Fox, Fantasy Island is owned by Sony, The Cleaning Lady is owned by Warner Bros TV, and the new Gordon Ramsay's Next Level Chef is owned by Fox themselves.

Currently, they have an advantage of ordering content from anyone they want as they don't have any well established in house content Studios like abc, NBC or CBS have.

Bad video quality on Discovery Plus? Are you kidding?

Not kidding. It's only usable on browsers. On apps both in tv and Android TV video quality sucks. High quality is even disabled in new versions of the app.

Not doing that in India yet. I am not really a big fan of binge releases. One episode per week is normal. You are not forced to finish episodes at one go to avoid spoilers and do discussions. You also get something to watch fresh here everyday.

Yes. They have started doing that in India for their English series: Legend of Vox Machina, Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Last one laughing Canada.

Many people are subscribing and watching the show they want and then cancelling after finishing. I myself did it for Squid Game and Stranger Things.

Browsed aha on my Google TV. Very impressed with this app.

Can select only one language at a time. Thought that what they mean by "100% telugu" or "100% tamil" is that there would be no dubbed content from other languages. But then found some dubbed content in the telugu setting.

But at least there is no doubt about the language of any content. It will be telugu in telugu setting and tamil in tamil setting. In netflix and prime, we always have to look for the "language" in description

Another plus: It lets you watch the free movies without signing in! In US, Prime Video also has free movies but requires sign-in.

If you got miss International music channel like Vh1 on broadband. You can try MTV on youtube. They livestreams curated music like on tv channels.
