    Hulu Subs Can Add Disney+ for $2.99!

    I got the email yesterday, as I'm currently on the $1/mo Black Friday deal for Hulu. Apparently, it's not just a deal for select subscribers.

    Star Trek: Prodigy

    If you go into this with the expectation that it's a kids show and not the latest and greatest Star Trek U spinoff, I found it's actually quite entertaining, at least based on the first two-part episode. In some ways, I think it's less juvenile than Lower Decks, which frequently resorted to...

    Treadstone on USA

    After two solid episodes, I'm thinking this show is worthy of its own thread. It's probably my favorite new broadcast/cable show of the fall season. The stunt work in the fight scenes has been very solid for a cable show, and there was even a decent high-speed chase through the streets of Paris...

    When does Amazon Prime content expire?

    Next Big Borderlands Game to Be Released on Last Gen Consoles (and PC)

    Not sure how I feel about this. On the one hand, I'm sticking with my PS3 for the time being, so I'm glad there will be another AAA release for a favorite franchise. On the other, a Borderlands game on the PS4 might have been the tipping point for me. At any rate, I just hope this is a full game...

    Need recommendation on compatible EHD

    My dad, who is less than tech savy, would finally like to add an EHD to his Dish 622 receiver, but isn't sure what he should get. I thought there might be a list of compatible EHDs on Dish's Web site or maybe a stickied thread here. He doesn't need a full TB, so I'm wondering if anyone here...

    Free $4 Credit for Amazon VOD Service
