Why is crave such a dog #### platform? I can watch any show except the one I actually want to watch it. When I click the one I want (billions) it just lags and then says it can’t be played. Anyone had this issue?

Rarely, but there is an hdmi cable issue that comes up once in a while. I just re-connect it and it goes away. IIRC its some HDCP error and it’s strange because it is only when I try to start streaming, navigating and stuff is fine. Though, it definitely isn’t specific to a show.

I switched to airplay from my iPad. Was originally on the Xbox. Now it’s working fine…. So weird. But I watched a couple episodes of Silicon Valley in the meantime which is always fun.

I think I found my new favorite show. Love Ken Watanbe. I also am completely fascinated with the Yakuza. Always have been. This show is right up your alley if you like that sorta thing too.

Directed by Michael Mann, and based on a real life memoir.
Just finished Tokyo Vice Season 1. I was really impressed with the series and acting. Love the inside look on the Yakuza. Yes, it is dramatized, but super intriguing. I hope that they make Season 2, given the lead's recent PR troubles.

It motivated to go pick up the book on the weekend too.

That whole thing is weird. Showrunners said it's a dramatization, now people don't believe the book, some guy said some of it is made up, others have said it's true.

Wtf.

Whaaaaat? Somebody wrote memoirs and embellished their experiences to sell more books and make their accomplishments seem more grand? Well I never…

Won't stop me from watching it again and burying my nose in the book. So far I'm enjoying the book a lot.

This Bob Einstein doc (super Dave) is pretty good. Had no idea he was brothers with Albert Brooks.

Crave is a decent bang for your buck but man their apps are slow.

Complained to Telus that when I renewed my internet contract for $60/month that they didn't cancel the $20 a month that was for Telus Pik + Crave/HBO that I requested.

They said they couldn't change it so they gave me the 1 year of Crave/HBO free.

Sometime in the last month Bell decided to ditch 5.1 audio support for the crave app. Seems like it’s across all devices. Apparently firing news anchors isn’t the only way that ####ty scam of a company decided to save a few bucks.

Your phone has 5.1? Do you broadcast to a receiver with it?

I’m referring to tv devices. Firestick, roku, Apple TV, smart tv apps etc seem to have lost it.

Ya, I have a Chromecast plugged into my receiver that detects 5.1. I remember 3 or 4 years ago it used to be 2 channel only on Crave, and my receiver would show that, so I'm pretty sure it is feeding 5.1.

https://www.crave.ca/en/support/tech...sound-19241937

This Reddit thread seems to show some people are having issues(when you FFWD it goes to 5.1 seems to be a clue), so maybe it is just a glitch.

I wish they'd fix the "skip intro" button that is active for 3 seconds...

Ya there’s another Reddit thread here with people talking about the issues.

Seems to have just completely disappeared about a month ago.
