Man, that sucks balls.

Are they giving any kind of heads up to viewers that the program they're watching might be edited for content?

Re: Tubi -- ad supported streaming service
 

I would hope so, like they do for movies on a network being edited for content. I don't watch enough to notice.

Re: Tubi -- ad supported streaming service
 

Henderson said in his post that Tubi is not editing content themselves. They have asked some distributors to do it. Who they are and what type of content, I have no idea.

I do have a bunch of 90s Andy Sidaris playboy model action flicks saved on my watch list. I should check those.

Henderson said .."Tubi has been actively asking producers to cut and edit content out of their movies and/or cutting it themselves." Sounds like if the producers won't do it, Tubi will.

Re: Tubi -- ad supported streaming service
 

They should at least be required to show a message saying “edited for content” if they’re gonna do that. Some comments have said that some movies are still uncut and some are sanitized versions which may have just been what they were sent.

Good news is that they FINALLY added a setting to turn off auto-play. The regular app still puts crap on the screen but using Airplay you can watch everything clean. Before it would rudely cut off the end credits, the timer would appear on your iPad and you’d have to watch that to stop it from cutting them off. I’d actually like it to play another movie after it’s COMPLETELY over.

Anyone else get an invite for the “Test Tube” feedback community? Doesn’t seem like they’ve been selective about it as both my email addresses got invites, of course I have tons of feedback for them.

Re: Tubi -- ad supported streaming service
 

I got one, but then they sent another email saying "OMG Smithee just showed up, nvrmnd"

Re: Tubi -- ad supported streaming service
 

I signed up but they ask for the Device ID for whatever thing you use to watch Tubi the most. I am assuming they are going to do a targeted app update.

Load the app on the device you use most, go to Settings, then About. The long ass alphanumeric number is what they want.

The Super Bowl will be streaming live on Tubi (free of charge, in 4k) for those that care:

I guess that bodes well for the service!

Re: Tubi -- ad supported streaming service
 

Wow. I wonder if we'll get it in Canada. Would be an easy way to potentially get the commercials that we miss out on, as ours are always simsubbed with shitty Canadian ads.

Somehow, I suspect it won't work. I'm just too lazy to set up my antenna, any longer.

Re: Tubi -- ad supported streaming service
 

Tubi has a pretty big list of Cannon Films titles, which is pretty cool. Some of these can also be watched on MGM+

But I know some here won’t use Tubi because they despise forced ads.

That's Fab! (He said, cryptically.)

Re: Tubi -- ad supported streaming service
 

I avoided this for so long thinking it was junk but as a horror fan lots of good stuff here sure the ads suck but its free one of my fave streaming services now!

Re: Tubi -- ad supported streaming service
 

To be fair, it's come a long way.

Pun intended.

Re: Tubi -- ad supported streaming service
 

I am coming to realize that there should be a general Tubi thread listed under the Movie Talk section, instead of just in the Streaming section. I watch so many films and shows on Tubi and I am sure many other on this site are also Tubi fans.

While I might not always have much to say about the latest "masterpiece" I watched on Tubi I think there might be enough activity to warrant making a Tubi Talk thread a sticky post.

For example, I just watched a really bad film on Tubi called Quakeasaurus that I ended up rambling about in the Street Fighter thread, so a dedicated thread could be a watering hole amongst which us Tubi fans could occasionally commiserate to chat about the joys of Tubi.

Tubi is also where I get my year round fix of watching rom-com type films, you would think watching most/all of the Hallmark originals would satiate my desire to watch these types of films but nope. All those Nicely, Reel One, rom-coms (many of them Christmas themed) end up on Tubi and there are a ton of them to work through.

Some have acting that is close to being on par with your average Hallmark/Lifetime film, but oftentimes you understand why Hallmark or Lifetime did not bother to pick up the rights to air the film (although sometimes these films do show up more frequently on Networks like UP TV). That being said, the majority of rom-coms on Tubi shall remain only watchable on Tubi and not end up on other basic cable channels.

There is an actress in multiple rom coms that I have a soft spot for and I have probably seen the majority of her films on Tubi, her name is Sashleigha Hightower. I think some of her films may have actually aired on places like UP before they ended up on Tubi.

She and other like her tend to up starring in multiple rom coms found on Tubi, pretty enough and just enough acting "skills" to keep me from hating the film I just watched.

That being said, I still tend to watch many rom coms on Tubi that have acting that would be outmatched by the folks who starred in my nieces Castro Valley High production of 9 to 5, lol.
