      6 months ago I would have agreed. In it's defence, Presto has made some great changes and has expanded their library to include very recent releases.

        Have they made their content SD yet?

        Until I own a phone which is supported by Presto it's pointless signing up to them as I can't chrome cast.

        • snuke on 06/12/2015 - 23:19

          SD yet???????
          All of their content was SD, it is slowly becoming HD.

          @snuke: It was sub-SD when it launched. Might have looked on on a computer or tablet but horrible on a TV screen.

      • pufffdragon on 07/12/2015 - 02:03

        I agree. I'm getting HD and Dolby 5.1 now through my Chromecast on Presto. None of those existed before. They have improved with their app and the content is actually pretty good. Nowhere near as bad as some make it out to be.

        • greenie4242 on 07/12/2015 - 05:57

          To get HD on your Chromecast, do you need to stream it from the mobile app? It's been months since I tried, but I could never get Presto streaming from my desktop PC to Chromecast.

          Lack of HD was one reason I never watched anything on Presto, but lack of subtitles was the killer. If you can't watch video in HD on a home theatre PC, what's the point? I tried running the Presto app it in an Android emulator but the app won't continue past the start screen. Hopeless. Stan was the same. I don't think they want us using their stuff.

        • pufffdragon on 07/12/2015 - 10:34

          @greenie4242: I'm streaming from my android tablet & IOS phone app to my tv. There was an app update about a month ago that included the HD and 5.1 content. It was a pleasant surprise. Don't quote me on everything being in HD and 5.1 though. As for subtitles, I have never tried it or running presto through a HTPC.

          I know Stan and Presto won't allow playback if you have a jail broken or rooted phone/Tab. I used an app called "Hide Rooting Lite" to get past that issue on android. Works Great!

          Try it out again, it's free so you can't go wrong. Just remember to cancel before the cut off date.

      Since adding this code, there is no longer an option to add one, so you might need to wait for your current subscription to run out.

          @itsfree:
          Are you Android or iOS?
          I'm on Android, and while I can find instructions on the web for connecting via Chromecast, the option isn't there in my app.

          This was what was giving me the shits last time I went to use it.
          I could use MHL, but I'd rather have my phone/tablet next to me and use Chromecast so that I can easily pause/rewind/select a different show.

          I don't know if I'm just lucky and unable to use Chromecast.
          Mind you I'm at work and not on the same network as my Chromecast, but from my understanding the Chromecast option should appear regardless whether you have a Chromecast on the same network.

      It does offer HD, but last time I checked it's only via the Android and iOS clients.
      You can't connect them directly to your TV via an MHL adapter, so you need a ChromeCast or Apple TV to watch on your TV.

          the reason they keep giving it away "free" is because they hope at least some idiots will forget to stop the subscription and start getting charged automatically at the end of it.

      Yes, reluctance to miss out a day of uncharged time (general inertia); and then easily forgot; behavioural economics.
      Wised up this time tho, thus I've GCalendar reminder/email setup to stop a/c 9 May on early 6th cycle. That'll end billing, but allow finishing month.

      Apart from calendar reminder, Presto itself sent notification 7 days in advance last time trial 6mo was expiring.

      Influencing my choice to cancel was for a carriage service provider's role in removal flexidata* (available $0.125 per Me2U/1GB).

    I use Presto to watch The Wire, Sopranos and Mr Robot as I can't get those on Netflix. If it did, there'd be no reason to use Presto.

    • [Deactivated] on 07/12/2015 - 09:02
      +1

      A frustrating feature of Presto is that content expires without warning. I was a couple of episodes from the end of a series and when I went to finish watching, the series had completely disappeared from the site. No warning, no "This show is no longer available", just gone - no search results and the URL resulted in a 404 error.

      For the past year people have been requesting that expiry dates to be listed, but nothing has been done about it apart from remarking "great idea, we'll pass it on".

      Obviously not the end of the world, but it can leave you hanging.

      • quarrymaster on 07/12/2015 - 11:09

        I noticed with the Samsung SmartTV app it says when it's available till under the title when you select the title. From other comments here, it seems they don't have consistent info and HD support across different platforms?

        • [Deactivated] on 07/12/2015 - 13:10

          The Samsung app shows the expiry on movies, not TV series:
          http://i.imgur.com/3yX7yto.jpg

          The web interface doesn't show it for either:
          http://i.imgur.com/gWfWWG2.jpg

          Not much of an issue for binge watchers, but it's mighty annoying when you only have a small amount of time for TV watching and find the thing you want to watch has completely disappeared.

          Again, nothing critical, but something to be aware of.

          (Also, Frontline "1970"! It's not that old :)
