It rights issues.

The BBC signed a big deal with FX in 2018 to create content together and give the BBC first run rights on FX Shows.

Amazon signed a deal with Hulu for a lot of there shows also RTE would have rights to some shows like The Handmaidens Tale.

Ya that happened to me also. When I clicked into the small window it played as normal.

So who’s staying up past midnight to see what’s on star?

Personally looking forward to 24.

Have seen all seasons of it once.

The original season was first broadcast in 2001 (which is way older than I thought). I used to download it to watch it without ads on RTÉ. It broadcast on a Tuesday in the US and Wednesday in Ireland. I’d set off the download before heading to work and we’d press play at the same time it started on the tv.

There’s 14 minutes of ads in an hour or RTÉ fact lovers.

Of spires it used to be in Compressed SD format on a 32”CRT, so watchingnit in HD on a 55” LCD is going to be a revelation. ðŸ˜Ž

Dammit Chloe sent it to my screen!

I've the 24 box set so rewatched over the years. It's amazing how much you forget across the season given that it's crammed into a day. Not always a brilliant show but one of my all time favourites. Season 5 is some of the best TV I've ever watched.

I don't think the Alien movies are available yet? And I'm not 100% sure which Hulu shows are there (Solar Opposites and Helstrom jump out at me though).

If you go to this link and click on "Show Me Full List" it opens up a PDF with pictures of every new show and movie added.

Sorry that was a mistype.

I meant to ask why the Alien series is NOT available.

Thank you for the link.

I did get that in an email a couple of weeks ago but when I clicked it only opened one page of that PDF so I thought there nothing else.

The first Deadpool is still on Netflix at the moment.

Is the plan for them to move all their flicks onto Disney Plus permanently once contracts with Netflix etc end?

e.g. Once Deadpool moves over to Disney Plus will it stay there indefinitely?

Funny that my first thing to watch on it is Commando

Seems to be hit and miss for what's there. They have the first 2 seasons of Runaways, which was Hulu, but not the third and they don't have Cloak & Dagger, which was Freeform.
And the fact that some stuff is still on Netflix makes me wonder if it is rights or something else.

I’m pretty sure Runaways and Cloak & Dagger are on another service. Prime I think.

I assume that deal doesn’t cover the stuff announced at the Investor Day.

I own the show too and started watching it a few weeks ago.

I hadn’t seen it since it aired on RTÉ and I’m surprised by how much of the first season I remember or at at feels familiar.

I think the other seasons will be less familiar. And I didn’t get to finish the show. I think I’ve only seen the first 4 days.

Can episodes be marked as watched ?

And can a show or movie be removed from the continue watching list ?

Agent Coulson · 23-02-2021 8:28pm

I wonder is there any chance The History Channel shows will appear on Star as Disney is a 50% owner of History with A&E.

My guess would be "that's highly unlikely". I think Sky are the biggest blocker when it comes to UK rights. Undoing the last 25 years of "premium TV" dominance is not going to happen overnight. Add on a few other complications like the BBC/FX relationship mentioned above and it's going to be a long time before we end up in a place where Disney+ / Star has the complete Disney collection. As consumers I'm not 100% sure we'll be in a better position when that day comes either.

icdg · 23-02-2021 8:56pm

To add to that, the U.K. & Ireland version, Sky History, is a joint venture with Sky and has been since its inception (though the “Sky” in the name is of relatively recent vintage).

Marvel’s Runaways was sold to Syfy and they probably still have a repeat window on the third season.

Mr.Nice Guy · 23-02-2021 8:58pm

Pleasantly surprised at the options available. I'm one of the few people that missed 24 when it aired and never got around to watching it. Might be time to put that right. Also spotted a Ric Flair documentary that I had intended to check out but pretty sure I missed.

Pity Angel isn't there. Guessing that's some rights issue as Prime likewise has Buffy but not the spin-off.

icdg · 23-02-2021 8:58pm

Angel is on All4.

I'm hoping for Letterkenny as it's on Hulu, don't think its on any channel/streaming service over here.

budgemook · 23-02-2021 9:13pm

Few things there I'm looking forward to. Atlanta is great, will watch it again, not sure if I've seen second season. Have never seen Firefly (although I better get in quick before Josh Whedon is cancelled). Lost - god I definitely won't be watching that again.

23-02-2021 9:41pm

Big Sky really the only new show on it.

There is quiet a few FX shows on it from Sons of Anarchy to Atlanta to Feud to Snowfall.

Also Trust.

If people like Rick and Morty I can recommend solar opposites (by one of the same creators) looks like only first 2 eps up so far, but it gets better and better as it goes along

pah · 23-02-2021 11:00pm

I see Alias is there too. Never really watched it but looking online has generally good reviews.

That'd be great, if it ever happens.

ah excellent Justin Roiland? Count me in.

Having a great time watching Futurama on endless loop all evening, love that show.

This seems to be fixed now

I wonder will The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones ever get put up on it.

The show was on ABC in America and made by Lucas Films.

Edit: a google search say the distribution rights are owned by Paramount.

I had completely forgotten about that show.

It was great stuff.

We might get it is Paramount+ comes to Ireland but it would be nice if Disney and Paramount could work out a way to share streaming of the Indy franchise.

Do Paramount have distribution rights for eternity like Fix had with the first Star Wars?

I watched it years ago on DVD, and thoroughly enjoyed it at the time. It's not a massive investment, and I am considering a rewatch, but there's too much new stuff. If you haven't seen it, it's definitely worth a go, and has a great cast.

titan18 · 24-02-2021 3:10pm

Few FX shows that will hopefully be added down the line. Justified, What we do in the Shadows, AHS, The Shield, The Americans etc would all be nice adds.

FunLover18 · 24-02-2021 3:23pm

Going into the Star tab and it feels very limited seeing a lot of thing twice in different categories, feels like I'm not seeing everything.

You are not seeing everything.

You have to look in the Movies and Series section from the Home page.

I was hoping for What We Do in the Shadows from the start but I think that is one of the shows that caught in that BBC deal mentioned earlier.

I have never seen Justified but would like to.

The Shield is also one I missed. I saw the pilot years ago and didn’t like it but would give it another chance.

The Americans is one of the best TV shows ever.
