I don't mind this sort of setup on Pluto TV but it's free so... Yeah.
Also, they do free streaming as well so you don't even have to use the live TV function.
Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.

Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):

Our galactic citizens have requested more specific rules, so here are a few.
The general idea is, if you're looking here for rules, you're probably someone who doesn't need to have them spelled out. You're fine. But anyway:
This is a community for Star Wars memes. This means typically screenshots of Star Wars media with some text or context that's meant to be funny and/or thoughtful. All SW media is welcome: movies, games, comic books, fanart... Other kinds of content, like video links or meta memes (about this community, or Lemmy), are fine as well, just keep it on topic.
We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.
As fans of fictional media, we can be passionate. If you very strongly disagree with something or someone, take a deep breath before reacting. Anger leads to the dark side!
Everything in Star Wars has happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, and it's a rich universe of millions of words and millions of years of history. So current Earthly matters really shouldn't concern us here. In other words, leave politics, philosophies and convictions behind the door. This applies even if it's about something related to Star Wars.
Original content is preferred. Reposts are fine, just please limit to a maximum of 3 per day, per citizen. It is recommended, but not required, to mark original memes as (OC) and reposts as (repost).
Local mods are the Jedi council. They may take actions that are necessary to maintain peace and stability of the Republic, even beyond the rules outlined here. Follow their guidance.
Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.

Pluto is good but I wish they had an API
They pretty much already have that though...
Yeah, been that way for a while. I assume either this tweet is old as fuck, or they're adding more paid for ones. Or some regions don't have it that way yet.
The discoverability on D+ is awful as well. There's loads of older stuff and all it wants to show me is shitty "reality" TV I couldn't give a fuck about, and have never watched. I'm only on it now because the wife is halfway through Buffy and can't remember where to find it again if I torrented it and I can't be arsed with the aggro.
You all should check out criterion channel. Definitely more art house style but a great value.
How long would this last?
How are these super low resolution screenshots taken? Is anyone still using phones with a screen resolution that low?
So same old broadcast thing, but with internet, a framework designed to send a different data to each user.
Meaning you will be wasting way more energy with the same stream going in different packets to people.
Sure, that would definitely be cheaper.
I actually wanted this feature for so long. You may ask why not just get cable and yes I could but my area is a bit remote and doesn't have cable.
