My parents have a box Optus gave them with one those TV companies subscribed to it. I can't remember which company but I haven't seen the box for ages.


It could have been Presto. Or Stan. Or Herbert maybe

Yeah, we got a Presto box with Optus. Never figured out how to connect it. Too late now.

I don't think connecting the box was ever very close to the top of their list of things to do. They'll still complain when I tell them though.

I got 2 months free Presto from a shopper docket. I set up the account then the app on my smart TV didn't actually work in any fashion. It would freeze at the login page, so I never watched a second in 2 months before canceling. It was just a matter of time till it folded.

The Americans is a show for your older smarter viewer who knows some history from the Reagan era.

So many memorable moments:

- One of the most exciting but slowest car chases you'll see
- Phillip slowly and gently pulling out his wife's broken teeth with a pair of pliers
- The scrumptious double agent Nina and her fate in the Soviet justice system
- The two spies cleaning up after a murder in bed of a blonde by an Iranian they want to turn. Very slowly and methodically before your eyes the two spies break all the nude blonde's limbs and fit her into a large suitcase to dispose of the body.
- The American technologies they chase: stealth fighters, the internet, biological weapons and many more
- The reversal of everything now: you are rooting for Russian spies. The Russians are fighting the mujahideen in Afghanistan. The CIA are supporting the mujahideen in Afghanistan.
- The tension of watching the FBI counter intelligence section hunting our heroes, while one of the FBI lives across the street.

If you haven't caught this yet, give it go. Series 1 can be slow, then it just lights up and flies after that.

Brilliant show.

Oh, and the mum is ridiculously hot.

It's due to come back in March. I've not found too many people who have watched it but like you I think it's a great show.
It's one of those shows you need to watch the first 4 or 5 episodes before you can really appreciate it. The story lines can be a bit complex until you get the hand of it.

I would think the next series will be the last one though.

Pardon my iggerance, but how can I watch it from the start? Is it available anywhere? Or will I have to buy the DVDs?? :0

Project free TV might be a good starting point.

These sites are starting to pop up everywhere and I am not sure if they are legal or not, or breaking any copyright?

Wasn't Presto associated with Channel 7? Not surprised anything associated with that piece of shit network would fail dismally.

They even had the Working Dog crew there when they got the Degeneration from the ABC to make a show for them and they couldn't work out talent like that wasn't under their nose.

That's like being asked to coach a team with Ted a Whitten, Ron Barrasi, Garry Ablett and Royce Hart in it and not working out they are great players.
