ConTV for Roku
http://www.contv.com/browse-movie/
Just found this channel over the weekend and thought it had some really good shows on it. Greatest American Hero, MXC, and a bunch of others plus movies, anime, and Comic Con panels.

Re: ConTV for Roku
That's a pretty good channel. I watched something on there a couple days ago.
I wish the VIP (ad-free) membership was cheaper. $6.99 is kinda pricey considering most of the content is z-list and public domain stuff. If they offered discounted 3-6 month packages around $4/month, I'd sign-up.

Re: ConTV for Roku
I was in 4th or 5th grade when Greatest American hero was on so I barely remember it but I want to check it out. The also have the old Japanese version of Battle of the Planets, Gatchaman, that I want to watch.

Re: ConTV for Roku
I wonder if it'll be William Shatner? His Q&A is right after Billy Dee Williams.

It should be fun. Looks like a good schedule of events today.

I couldn't find a link on the Roku app. But I was able to get the Live Stream using the Search feature.
Search for "CONtv Live".

Re: ConTV for Roku
The live stream says "Stay tuned for Alex Kingston, Billy Dee Williams and William Shatner". So it looks like they'll also stream the Shatner Q&A at 6pm EST.

Re: ConTV for Roku
Live Coverage from Wizard World Comic Con Chicago starts at 11:30am (EST) on Saturday (8/22) and continues on Sunday (8/23). It will only be available to VIP Members.

Live panels with Stephen Amell (Arrow), Jeremy Renner (Avengers, Mission Impossible), the legendary man with the moustache, Burt Reynolds (Cannonball Run, Archer), plus surprise guests.
Original programing featuring expert discussions on Deadpool, Jurassic World, filmmaking, horror, superheroes, and vampires.
Live gameplay of a secret upcoming video game release!
Live chat with fans and the CONtv crew.
FREE swag giveaways online. And so much more!

Re: ConTV for Roku
The Comic Con Chicago live coverage has started. They're showing the Ian Somerhalder (Vampire Diaries) panel right now. This guy seems like a real conceited douchebag.
I think you need to be a VIP member to watch it. If you sign-up, use the coupon code "SHERA1".

Re: ConTV for Roku
He'd been up all night shooting an episode (at least that's what he claimed), so I cut him a little slack, but his panel was not very good. Stephen Amell's panel WAS pretty good, and I don't even watch ARROW. Seeing Burt Reynolds was both sad and entertaining...sad that his body seems to be falling apart, but entertaining in that he seems to be pretty sharp and told some great stories.

Re: ConTV for Roku
Those panels are always hit-or-miss. Most of the stars are contractually obligated to appear in them for their shows and the drive to do them wanes once a show has established itself.

Re: ConTV for Roku
I'm a little confused by the website, but that's probably because I'm firewalled and some of the stuff is being blocked.
I've read that a VIP membership gets you commercial-free viewing, but on the website there are several shows tagged as "VIP", while others are not. So, does this mean that you can only watch those specific channels if you are VIP, or that anyone can watch them but VIPs get them commercial-free? And what about that non-tagged shows?
