I have spent a lot of money over the years watching things like Apple TV, and Amazon Prime. You become amazed by the number of shows there are to watch when you purchase these systems and then you become amazed by the fact that there is a special routine for each to allow you to watch the programming.
Then you take out your tray table, set the remote to play,
put your dinner on the tray table piping hot, and begin the process of
selection and starting the show. You select, press ‘Play’ on the remote, lean
back in your chair, ready for the entertainment promised.
All of a sudden the show starts, the credits are long and
you wait for them to run their course, suddenly a character appears and the
music moves you then… it goes into one of those damned cycles where a little
spinning arrow starts in and you must wait for it to stop! You get impatient
and now reach for the remote pushing all the buttons. You think; I’ll go back
to the lineup and so press ‘Return’ and then resume, getting about a minute of
where you left off and the damned arrow comes back. You think, all these
pain-in-the assess are on this same show at the same time, or, the damned cable
company should really do something about this! You are not done yet, no, you
must now blame Amazon or Apple, but someone must be shot for this.
When you finally get it to work, or just give up, your food
is cold, uncut and uneaten!
I wonder how Netflix works?
