Yeah, I wasn't nervous about a SWAT team, just wasn't sure how secure the sites were and was weary of viruses, etc. And, despite my dumb comment, I know folks aren't going to upload files of TP recorded by their smartphone pointed at the TV. I just had my mind stuck in the movies in the cinema mode as I was thinking about the Rogue One situation.Driftwood wrote:you can only get a quality release of something is there's a source for it. like if it's already out on bluray or a streaming service like amazon or netflix. otherwise if it's still in theaters then yeah it's just going to be some copy some guy recorded.Dead Dog wrote:Well, I tried getting Rogue One for my sons and nephews to watch on New Year's Eve and it was terrible. You could tell someone just got video at a theater. I was nervous the whole time I did it so maybe didn't spend the right amount of time looking for a good file or whatever.

Like was said before, use a good VPN. Practice save torrenting!

Wow, this is friggin' GREAT!!! Who'd have thought it - I guess nothing can stop Peaks to reach all corners of our Globe simultaneously, eh?
Anyway, THX for notification, my friend, much appreciated
Re: Those of you who WON'T watch the series as it goes along...
I don't have Sky here in the UK, so I'm hoping an iTunes series pass will be available. If not, I'm a bit screwed!
I don't download anything illegal on principle (I work in the media, so why would I damage myself?)
The only circumstances in which I would download something 'off books' would be for, say, an obscure album that isn't available anywhere. Unfortunately, I'm a bit of a whiz at locating obscure items. My biggest recent success was finding a CD of a cassette dub I was given in 1983. I had no album name and no written down track names. I knew a couple of them, found out the album name, but it was called 'Reflections.' There are a lot of albums called 'Reflections' out there. I put together an iTunes playlist, but not all the recordings were the same as the album's and also not mixed. Eventually, I found out the album's subtitle then located the cover design, discovered it was reissued on CD in 1990 and bought it second hand from an Amazon seller.
So, no way will I do an illegal download. I'll be patient!

You can purchase a Now TV pass for the duration of the run on Sky Atlantic. Much cheaper than the full package and Atlantic streams live on it. They also make episodes of currently airing shows available for a couple of weeks thereafter.Gabriel wrote:I don't have Sky here in the UK, so I'm hoping an iTunes series pass will be available.

Yeah, that's what I'm considering. Still hoping for an iTunes pass though.sneakydave wrote:You can purchase a Now TV pass for the duration of the run on Sky Atlantic.

Re: Those of you who WON'T watch the series as it goes along...
I got a NowTV pass and will be up at 2am livestreaming the simulcast for sure - only for the premiere, though, I'll make do with Catch Up after that (it'll be the first thing I do after work each week tho!).Gabriel wrote:Yeah, that's what I'm considering.

My question is, has there been official confirmation on whether we also get the double drop that US showtime subscribers get (ie, parts 3&4 or whatever made available for streaming immediately after broadcast of 1&2/0/vier sieben)? I thought I'd seen something about it somewhere but can't find now and it's hard to search. I'd quite like to watch the whole four-hour block at once, before going to work a broken shell of a man.

Re: Those of you who WON'T watch the series as it goes along...
No confirmation as of yet that Sky Atlantic will have episodes 3 and 4 on demand after the premiere. I've asked them three times directly on Twitter but they haven't replied.
I plan on watching the 2am simulcast too but had planned on going back to bed, getting up, dropping the kids off with a sitter and heading back home to rewatch it with the wife then watch eps 3 and 4.
I've taken the day off especially for this. Sky Atlantic better not let me down.

Re: Those of you who WON'T watch the series as it goes along...
I think we'll get it, if not same time then same day. A poster in the s3 thread said they were told by an employee of HBO Europe that they believed they would show it the same way as in US but that nothing was finalised because there is so little information, I imagine it's the same with sky. I can't see the various international channels going for a deal that means worldwide viewers see pt 4 two weeks after American viewers, and I for one will resort to other methods if that turns out to be the case.
Re: Those of you who WON'T watch the series as it goes along...
I welcomed the HBO news with delight, too, yet if not for this HBO broadcast, I wouldn't watch it now, either. Frankly speaking, it's not because I am so righteous that I wouldn't want to make an illegal download. It's just that... I just don't download stuff from internet... hard to explain why. I hardly ever use internet to watch things longer than clips on youtube. So I'd probably wait for the DVDs, unless some friend invited me over to watch what he'd downloaded
Another thing is, I'm not really a person who gets excited by premieres. OK, it happened to me a few times. I went to see the midnight premiere of Fellowship of the Ring and Attack of the Clones. Never would have done it on my own, though. Friends talked me into it (not that I regret, but it's not my way). I like to think that the later I start something, the longer I have it!
