Yeah, I'm sure that the deal(s) that they have are ones that regular folk don't know of (unless there's something online about it), but it's, in general, one of the aspects of the "modern" world that we both complain about around here without trying to sound like, "well, back in the good ol' days..." But, we both really miss having our old setup with the big Mitsubishi on wheels that, before 2020, we could just turn on and simply f'ing watch a show - either live or off of a hard drive. For me, easily 80% of the time I'll have some kind of trouble after I've pressed the "on" button - and since I'll turn it on, at most, 2 or 3 times a week, I just can't imagine what it would be like to watch the thing at the rate that most other people do. For my wife, she's often in the middle of some series and one day she'll go to turn it on and it's gone! Oh well, won't know what happened to those folks in that show. Now, she's watching something on Disney that just drops out in the middle of the show. Today, she spent 10 minutes in the middle of some drama unplugging and replugging crap and jumping thru hoops on the remote just to get back to the storyline she was watching. And we saw online that other people are having the same problem with this Disney channel. ...and the only reason we got Disney temporarily is because in order to be able to watch the TV version of Dune a few months ago, we had to buy something else (can't remember the channel), and Disney was part of the total cheap one-time package deal of less than $10 a year. Earlier, we talked about Call the Midwife disappearing and all I had to do was go to Netflix, pay them, watch it and then cancel? Well, that's what I did this evening - except before I gave them my money, I did the hunt for the show on their website  - finally found it - and the little drop down menu said that they are only showing seasons 1 - 10, so I would've been out of luck if I had just went and signed up for it 'cause I just wanted to see what happened in the final three shows of Season 14. More research said: *nope. you gotta wait until September...* It all just makes my damn head hurt.

Buenos Aires is the one I've heard 

Purchased directly from the merchandise at the concert: 👍Have this sleeve: 👍 One of the great lost finds!

We've been members for a while, just because. Passport comes with membership so hey, no complaints here. But... wouldn't BBC be the ultimate determiner of their international distribution deals? I'm sure that Nextglix is money whipping them, but still, they can always say no, right? Or at least, wait.
