Watched the pilot last week, just sitting down to see ep 2 now, slow start but interesting, if you want death and beheading then you will have to wait till later in series.

Worth watching

 

[Nick]

Is it based before the series or after?

 

[westofrayne]

Based in LA just as the outbreak starts, nobody understands what is going on, so I think this series will show us the horrors of the early stages of the outbreak. Seems to centre around a family but will known more in 50 Mins.

Dont spoil too much then

Didnt realise it was on already in the states, assumed as it was on AMC here it was the same time.

Best fire up sick beard then!

 

[westofrayne]

No I wont but worth watching.

Whats the weather doing up there? Pissing down here in Essex, hoping it will dry up a bit before we set off at 15:00 for Cov

When I saw your thread title I thought you were going to write about the Wheatsheaf before the match tonight !

Ep 2 tension is building

Virgin Media don't have the channel unfortunately so even though we get BT Sports we can't get it. I got the first two episodes off Showbox though. I quite enjoyed it.

Pray, do tell me more, Torch!! :thinking about: Is it not a torrent site then? I too am with Virgin Media and before when I have tried to watch 'exclusive' programmes such as this, I have had warning messages pop up from Virgin to say the content is blocked.

Just done some digging. It's a Russian based host.

Just downloaded the app. How long before they are snuffed out I wonder. People are saying it's not illegal, but I'm sure they will be taken down at some point surely.

Just downloaded the app.

Rather you than me!

If you don't know how to torrent safely there are plenty of sites offering direct downloads rather than streaming. The free ones are a bit on the slow side but that's better than having your PC hijacked by a dubious application.

Much easier to torrent it with sickbeard, will do it every week for me then

It is a streaming/download app rather than a torrent site. There's another called Cartoon HD which is pretty good.

We've used it for a couple of years. In the past I've just downloaded stuff and stick it on n our NAS. We have an Android TV now so we just tend to stream directly from that now.

Yes I know. My point was that direct download sites offer a safer alternative to streaming apps and torrents.

Sickbeard?

Come on Nick, tell the truth, you've just made that up haven't you!

 

[Nick]

It's like couch potato bit for tv not films

 

[dutchman]

Sickbeard works with newsgroups too, much safer than torrents.

Don't like automated systems myself, prefer to download everything the old fashioned way.

 

[Otis]

Just had a look and couldn't make head nor tail of it. the only python I know is Monty.

Am I right in thinking it is just stuff people have recorded and then put up for others to watch? Is that correct?

 

[dutchman]

That's a simplistic way of describing it but essentially, yes.

There are also web downloads (abbreviated WEB-DL) from official sources which are often much higher quality.

 

[Otis]

So what's the safest method? If there is one.

I saw on a US website they said you could pay episode by episode, but again I don't know how safe that is.

I had an online chat with BT to see if there was anyway I could get this channel without taking their entire package and they said no.

I have Virgin, but then also have a NOWTV box so I can get Sky Atlantic (another channel Virgin have failed to secure in their package). Don't see why they can't allow access from a Roku box or suchlike, or pay direct through Freesat. .

Direct download from a cyberlocker site or from newsgroups.

Finding the file name is the hardest part eg: Fear.The.Walking.Dead.S01E01.HDTV.x264-KILLERS

Use a specialist database site like this one: http://predb.me

Once you've found the file name just enter it into Google. This will throw up a plethora of search results some of which will be useless. Others will contain links to various download sites. My favourite is Uploaded.net because they are a)free and b)don't require registration. (A popup asks you to register but you can ignore it).

Downloading from newsgroups is a bit more complicated but offers incredible speed and reliability (for a price).

Anyone watching the second series .. I find it such a slow burner compared to the walking dead..so will have to wait and see how it goes

 

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

I guessing it will be on Netflix at some point
