I'm not watching anything from Netflix. I have DirecTV hooked up to the big TV, but I do most of my satellite TV watching with the Slingbox on other devices. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <noozg...@sbcglobal.net> wrote : We still don't know why anyone would bother to download Netflix episode via torrent when Netflix is available in their country and at a cheap price. Like many streaming services these days Netflix uses "adaptive streaming" and I don't know of any apps that can capture those since each segment is encrypted. Most likely the torrents are screen captures which means they are a 2nd generation and inferior to just watching it on Netflix. Maybe it's a thrill factor to use TPB?

And, the TV and computer both have 2.1 speaker systems. But, yeah, I did have 2.5 miles of fiber optic line buried out to the house 12 years ago, and as Natel's customer base has grown, my available bandwidth has become quite large. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <noozg...@sbcglobal.net> mailto:noozg...@sbcglobal.net wrote : No, it was a comment that I "hoped" you really weren't watching the show on a small laptop screen. The 55" TV I have was only $500 and NOT a smart TV. So very affordable by most anyone here. It is the right size for the living room. I did not buy it for bragging rights. And I don't care what you have either. Whatever floats your boat. I think Alex has better bragging rights and a better Internet connection to boot. I noticed the genre styles of the episodes because I watch shows from places all over the world. But I would think to most viewers it would become obvious after a while. I first noticed it with the cop segments then the humor in the Mexican one then the obvious homage to Bollywood.

I can download anything you name in 1080p (or if I want, 4K), and within a day of the time you can download it and pay for it. Then, after I have downloaded it, I can access it via WiFi any of my available TVs/monitors. The biggest of them is 58 inches diagonally, at 4K resolution. Hope I didn't harsh your virtual hard-on. :-) :-) :-) That said (of necessity, because you seem to have this annoying *need* to be a dick, even though you may say some occasionally interesting things), the insight about the stories in the different locations reflecting the cinematic histories of those locations is pretty good. If you thought that up on your own, deep bow. On the other hand, if you just ripped it off from someone else and reposted it here to sound more hip, uh... Isn't this cool? Only YOU know whether you really deserve praise or scorn. :-) :-) :-)
