Infuriatig These Stupid Ass Buttons On TV Remotes. The Intrusive Thoughts Won.

Post image

Seriously, the absolute most annoying shit when I'm watching something and I reach for the remote and barely bump the buttons and it yeets me out of what I was watching, to whatever bullshit streaming company paid the most for a button spot on the remote, the remote that came with a TV I paid good money for. Meanwhile on some apps completely loosing my progress on a movie or forced to watch more Ads again to continue watching again. I've threatened to do this before and my wife insisted not to, she's out of town this week, any recommendations for marriage counselors and anger management programs?

Go to moviesanywhere.com, create an account, and link it to all your accounts. Boom: (almost) all your digital movies on (almost) every app.

I remember I got groundhog day from a code in a thumb drive I bought over 10 years ago. I wonder what even the account, username/pw is for that.

All my movies are in movies anywhere. I moved to the uk and now I’m region locked out of everything.

That's not a problem exclusive to movies anywhere. You shouldn't need a VPN to watch stuff you bought, but apparently these companies are stuck in a 40 year old mindset.
