Re: General tv discussion thread - good, bad, axings etc etc
I see the Voice is coming back for another season...... FFS
Disclaimer:- I am not a fan of reality TV shows at all.
The bad news for me is Mrs Corona, and Corona Daughter love the show, just as well we have something like 5 TV's in the house! I F**&ing hate it. Just like I don't listen to cover bands, I don't want to listen to someone who is "good" at Kare-oake, or spent the last 12 months busking in the Bourke Street Mall. As for their "journey" - please, spare me!
I could however spend a considerable amount of time "looking" at Delta Goodrem. Don't want her to talk, don't need her to sing.... just smile & laugh. She is a nice looking bird.

Having a second fox box in the house is my saving grace. It allows me to escape Jersey Shore, Geordie Shore, Judge Geordie, Real Housewives of Melbourne, Ex on the Beach, Married at first Sight, 7 Year Switch, just to name a few....

I have not gone with the second fox box to date. Most of the "crap" my mrs watches is on free to air, so I can hijack the big screen, and watch a movie or any of the sport channels. Out of interest... what is the $$ for a second box Pirate?

If you want to go quickly, go alone.
If you want to go far, go together.

Re: General tv discussion thread - good, bad, axings etc etc
I watched the entire season of Ballers on the flights to and from Perth on Saturday.
Fictional series that follows some sports agents and financial advisors that look after NFL players.
It stars Dwayne Johnson and John Washington (Denzels son).
The whole series is like Ray Donovans first episode with the NBA player and the hooker.
Being a HBO series, downloading is the way to go.

Foxtel Go is my saviour when the family is watching other crap.
Anyone tried to Chromecast onto a bigger screen?

Re: General tv discussion thread - good, bad, axings etc etc
Pretty sure it won't allow you to chromecast but haven't got one so I'm happy to stand corrected.
I have done it from the laptop to a tv via hdmi and it's ok. But no footy channels on the laptop

I tried Apple TV and that didn't work but the guy from JB's thought Chromecast would it would work.
No footy channels, Go has the footy channels so not sure what you mean?

Foxtel Go is certainly a winner. Spent a few nights in Melbourne at the in-laws last weekend, and they don't have Foxtel. Luckily i had my ipad handy and off to the other room I went.

Even if the IPad was out of charge... At the in laws... I'd be off to the other room.

Only if you use it from a mobile device, not a laptop.
Let me know if it works with a chromecast, I'll buy one in a heartbeat for the bedroom tv if it does

NFL players don't really act that way do they?

Home sick yesterday so I watched the backlog of Janet King Series 2
I really enjoyed it - they certainly put some twists in it
