Yeah I've been playing around with the NHL app - I'm going to check out that NFB one too. Is there something similar for CBC, like so I can watch old episodes of Beachcombers and King of Kensington? Trying to find a good/free BBC app too.

Netflix seems like total shit now with all these other options. They don't have anywhere close to a decent selction anymore it seems like...

I would try a Termbo channel but it would basically be the exact same thing as Night Flight.

RICH - yeah they have a bunch of Portland stuff and some Vancouver/Memphis stuff too (and Hawaii?!). I haven't even got to it yet, still plowing through old ECW ppvs on the Network for now - but the Best Of Billy Jack Haynes seems like a must-see

I think CBC has one, but if I remember correctly there's not much on there.

does anyone know if you can get night flight/shout factory with appletv? I tried to figure it out a while back but gave up - they didn't show as options but I thought it seemed on the web like they should be avail. maybe because we have an old model or something? need to figure that out one of these days.

If this is a real idea at all, I can try to help with some content re:foreign music films/documentaries.

If you had enough unique content to do it, that would be awesome.


I now watch the Night Flight channel and documentaries and stuff on YouTube via Roku almost exclusively. Initially I had loaded it up with all these b-movie/horror channels but grew tired of that pretty quickly. Midnight Pulp channel has some cool/weird shit here and there.

My girlfriend has Roku and never uses it. Is it portable? I guess it's a small box right? Like could we sign up for channels and she could plug it into her tv and then bring it to my place?

Pretty sure thats how it works. Need a TV with an HDMI jack and wifi - then just log in. Get that app for your phone too, it makes for a better remote.

So, I'm looking into getting this for my wife and I for our anniversary. Which package do most of you have? Premium seems to be teh best bang for buck. Truth, or just a stick enough?

On a serious "Sally" binge after discovering the Nosey channel. It also has "Blind Date" and "Cheaters".
