Does anyone know if it is possible to gift a CBS All Access subscription? For either a month, or a year?
USA distribution -CBS All Access discussion
- Thread starter jefferiestubes8
- Start date
These two twill be solved and there will be devices that consolidate the data. In fact, Tivo does that now for some services. I can setup a onepass on tivo and it will show me what is coming up on tv, but also what is on netflix, amazon, xfinity on demand, and a few others. Or it supposed to. The rovi buyout was not good for their guide data but that's beside the point. The point is the technology is there for a unifed guide that spans multiple places to get content from.
I would like to watch this series.
But I don't even know how to access it.
Also, I only have a laptop, and I don't want to watch stuff on there.
I guess I'll have to wait for it to come out on disc.

^^^ I had often considered waiting for it to come out on BluRay, but I wanted to be a part of the discussion here when it happened, as I am sure there will be much to discuss. It will have been the first Trek show since TNG (TOS was a tad-bit before my time) that I will not have seen as the episodes air, and I didn't think I wanted to go that route. I'm going to suck it up and buy it to see where the first season takes us. Already have the CAA client installed on my Xbox - just need to drop the coins in the slot - so at least I won't need to squint my eyes on my iPhone to watch it.
I find that services like that don't last in the long term. Usually, after a few years, the company that's having it's data searched either changes the service so that the data can't be read from the outside, changes the Terms Of Service to prohibit the activity, or both. Even APIs that are specifically created to allow data sharing can be taken offline after a certain number of years. Not sure what a good solution is, though. Push for a standard to publish streaming service show guides? Insist that their lists of shows be Web searchable?
^^^^
I'd like to watch it as they show.
But I'm a technological dinosaur.

Thanks!
Making it easy for consumers to find content you offer is a win for netflix and others. If i know a show I want is on a certain service then I might subscribe.
Do you have a Roku, Google Chromecast, NVIDIA Shield TV, AppleTV, Xbox One, or PlayStation 4? If so, you should be able to watch it. If not, if you have a television that has a spare HDMI port and Wi-Fi Internet in your place, you can pick up a Roku for about $80 in the U.S.
A Roku box or Roku Streaming stick costs about $40 bucks. You'll need an HDTV & wifi router to use the stick, just insert in one or the HDMI ports, and activate it (by creating a Roku account-it's simple), and then download the CAA app to it, and that's it.
For older SD tvs, the ''Roku Express +'' has the audio/video cable to connect to the tv with a yellow video, red/white audio cable. Again a wifi router is needed.

You could run an HDMI cable to your TV............
I have a laptop and wifi internet.
Maybe I'll look at Roku.
I don't like to spend too much on TV.
A lot of the stuff you mentioned, I don't even know what it is
I think my TV has HDMI hookups.
I'll have to check though.

I've been a little spoiled by Netflix and their method of releasing an entire season of a show all at once. With today's busy schedules, I find that "binge watching" can often be the only way I can see stuff, as it's hard to have reliable and consistent free time each week. So I wish that CBS All Access would release all the episodes at once, but yeah I get why CBS is doing this - a lot of trek fans would subscribe and then cancel after one month if they were able to get all of the show in the one month.
Dang, they're only available at Wal-Marts around here. Hrm...
Nice try. "A" for effort.
Nice try, but in the real world, no one is impressed by your snide non-rebuttal.
Windows 10. Download CBS ALL Access app. Subscribe. Run HDMI cable to a larger monitor. DoneI have a laptop and wifi internet.
Maybe I'll look at Roku.

Easy peasy
