Paid streaming, sure - you get the nice bitrate.
Free streaming (or Netflix bottom tier) vs Free Broadcast? Broadcast wins hands down in quality
I’ve seen silky smooth 60fps 720p streams coming over the air, compared to what I was getting with Netflix through cable.
it sounds like some of techheads from the first round of layoffs hacked the company tbh
I once delivered a pizza to the miniclip.com offices. They had this big colourful fun room
Went to my dad’s work a few times. He was the manservant of the crown prince in-waiting to the Fire nation, and they let me drink tea and play paisho at the palace.
thank you! where did he stash the other jacket, and if he did why would he pick one of same colour and type?
oh wow. I just completely forgot that was a thing
It was a shared experience, and! and! the quality was better! Don’t believe me? Find any freesat channel right now and compare it to any streaming service.
Streaming services have to serve millions of different customers different content on-demand, and as a result the signal is compressed and dithered to the point of unviewabaility (says me, my family are apparently unaffected by the fuzzy black dots…) even on 4K streams.
Broadcast content? Its just chucked out there over the waves for anyone to catch, and the bitrate and quality are fantastic in comparison.

VHS could copy the subtitles and teletex info too, even if it wasn’t displayed, which is nuts
For a long time, I thought porno mags in bushes at parks was a ruse invented by the previous generation to confound the current
They have no moat, but boats are expensive
buy a drone, it’s a fun hobby
If it goes off the rails, yeah I agree with you – it’s gonna turn the CEO assassins into a group of murderous zealots.
If it’s used sparingly and effectively, well… uh, didn’t the IRA boost Sinn Fein’s popularity which led to the Good Friday agreement?
Perfect is the enemy of Skill, that’s great!
Jack off all trades and master a nun, yet better than masterbering just one
pretty sure that’s how it goes
been around for a bit. peer-2-peer webpages
HD piracy on demand is not that easy. Even popcorn time at its peak would suffer buffering if the media wasn’t popular enough
