Speak Up Saturday: What are you watching?

[yourlibrarian]

It's another Saturday and once again we're asking what you've been watching over the past week and what you think of it.

We also have a question about the format for Speak Up Saturday. The mods originally planned to do a variety of topics -- which might pop up as polls on Tuesdays or questions on Saturdays. However there was an enthusiastic response to our first "What are you watching?" with a request for more.

Would readers prefer to have this same question every Saturday? A short poll:

Should Speak up Saturday vary its options?

I watch AMC on regular Cable. (Never got torrent to work well - and I've a small laptop so no television watching on that).

In Canada, AMC is a specialty channel, so not included in the most basic cable packages. I have the least expensive non-basic package, as that's the only way I can add on sports channels (for an extra $20/month), but it still doesn't include AMC. I'd have to upgrade to the next level package for that.

I don't watch stuff I torrent on my computer. I transfer the downloaded files to a USB stick and plug that into my smart TV and watch them on TV. The only videos I watch on my computer are the yoga videos I do most days!

It's not that good - I wouldn't bother subscribing just for AMC. I refuse to get AMC streaming - all I like are Dark Winds and Discovery of Witches and first two seasons of Killing Eve. Not enough.

I applaud your ability to download and then stick the USB stick into the smart TV. That I've not figured out - also am a little afraid to do. LOL! (My MAC is five years old and the Not sure the Smart TV will do it. Then again, I've so many television shows in my queue...it's not needed?
