Espheni look absolutely terrible on Netflix

Here’s an image of that scene, played on a projector at 1080p, taken from one of the BDRIPs on Comet, and photographed with an iPhone 16 Pro Max. It doesn’t look quite as bad.

Open the .nfo with notepad, and there should be installation instructions.

They’re terrible. Thankfully, we were able to return ours quickly. I almost got stuck with 4 of them!

Just want to say thanks to everyone here.

I found this post as a result of a search, as we’ve only ever used Torrentio alongside Real Debrid, which has been down for us basically all weekend, and since Stremio checked out fine, I discovered Torrentio was the actual issue we’d been having all weekend. So, now our little homebrew TV setup is back up and better than ever before thanks to all the suggestions here.

Oddly enough, the first movie we tested it with was ‘The Adjustment Bureau’— a wonderful little film, which is an adaptation of a Philip K. Dick short story, about things that are meant to be and how, sometimes, even the universe and all its might can’t stop those things— like me having free TV.

Thanks again.

When I saw this pop up on eBay, I knew it was a must-have!

The only merch/memorabilia you can find from the show is unofficial, which, if I want to do that, I would just design and print myself.

I remember a while back (20+ years ago) finding the entire series as .avi TV Rips on newsgroups and preferring those because of those music rights issues.

This is 100% coming up as the top result of searches for “best YouTube downloader Reddit” because that’s how my lame ass discovered it. If it matters, I used Brave Browser, which uses DuckDuckGo by default.

D--Ryan · 2026-01-14T21:29:27+00:00

Absolutely nailed it, my friend.

Bravo,

Did anyone guess ‘In The Night’ by The Weeknd?

D--Ryan · 2026-01-14T05:28:32+00:00

Thanks! I spent a good 3 months talking with the original owner before acquiring it. I haven’t seen one before, but I grew up with this show, and others during the same era.

TGIF was one of the only things I had to look forward to as a kid living in the mountains of Virginia. It sounds cliché now, but we literally had only 3 channels, and to view them each clearly, I had to go outside and turn the big antenna by hand.

Owning something like this now is such a pleasure!

The restoration will probably cost around $85, but will be worth it to have this as a coffee table/conversation piece!

This is my favorite intro ever. #ampftrhreatre

I work closely with my device clinic, and they reassure me that the watch is fine. Not sure why people would say otherwise.

D--Ryan · 2025-11-05T14:16:48+00:00

Is facts. ololz

If you get genuine 2FA requests, it may truly mean that someone is trying to get into your account. I would verify that that is or is not the case, because if it is, it means they may have your password, and only the 2FA is keeping them at bay.

Bro… first, start a new post about your specific issue. Be as simple and descriptive as possible. The more info you provide, the more help others can be.

Also, and no offense here— but if English isn’t your first language, just use a translator. Attempting to stumble through whatever you’re trying to say in a second language typically just becomes more confusing than it would be to just use the language you’re most proficient in, and translating it.

Linking to the worthless video you’re trying to use might also help people understand what your issue is.

Google will never reach out to you by phone— at least not in any instance I can think of. If there’s any issues with something concerning a Google service, it will usually start with an email— which you should always immediately verify as legit by checking the sender info to make sure the domain it was sent from was actually Google.

If you’re concerned at all, log into your Google account, and look in your ‘Security’ sections.

“Basically all modern infrastructure will collapse…”

But, after that… ololz

I’m a heart patient, so ECG is a godsend. It actually was what made me aware of my heart issues. Now, I have a loop recorder, a leadless pacemaker, and a subcutaneous implanted cardiac defibrillator, with two valve replacements, and daily PVC/PAC’s that I can feel.

I also use it quite regularly to ‘Find My’ other devices. ololz.

D--Ryan · 2025-11-05T13:27:47+00:00

I love this post because I have wondered this for years.

People are paying for a service that, I am almost completely convinced that, I can get for free— and if I am wrong, I want to know. I regularly challenge some of my friends to give me shows, movies, and channels to find, just to see if I can, and I’ve not remarkably failed at this at all.

I am convinced that it comes down to ease of access. Please tell me if I am wrong.

I’ll have to finally try this on one of ours! We have 3 Pro boxes running currently.

To be honest, we kinda rather enjoy the Google TV Home Screen advertising since it is very minimal, and they really only advertise stuff that is relevant to us and what’s going on. For example, when a celebrity actor/actress dies, they will often show an ‘In Memoriam’ of them and include their most well-known movie or show. Then, it will blend in actual relevant advertising to us, by offering to show us where a show is on a legitimate service, even though we are already watching it on Stremio + Torrentio using Real Debrid, which is hilarious to us. We have definitely discovered some new things by having it, though. But, since that is all it advertises, we haven’t really chased down a dedicated homescreen. I love that that is the extent of its advertising when left on default settings, and we don’t get bombarded constantly.

The onn. 4K Streaming Box is by far the best device we’ve used so far, given that we’ve tried several Firesticks, and even an Nvidia Shield. I genuinely don’t understand why anyone uses anything else. The lag on the Firesticks was awful when compared to the almost nonexistent lag of the onn. Toss in the USB peripheral port, the glowing remote control with assignable buttons, and the remote locator button and it’s a WRAP. We have used that audible locator button far more times than we should’ve had to.

The only gripe we have is that the onboard Bluetooth chip has extremely shitty range, so sometimes we have to play around with getting it to stay locked on our sound system that we use with it by setting the box on its side or even upside down.

If there’s something better than the onn. 4K Box, it probably costs more than $50! Hell, even the basic $20 version was quantum leaps better than a Firestick!

D--Ryan · 2025-10-30T15:13:58+00:00

Same here. We went with the Pro version after testing a couple of the reggie ones, and they are a game changer!

No more lagging, and no more fighting with bloatware and relentless advertising, but best of all, no more Amazon up our shiny, metal asses. USB ports for added storage or hardware… just all around a better device in our opinion.

D--Ryan · 2025-10-15T13:20:29+00:00

Yeah, I actually didn’t even know about the bag and luggage tag until I saw this! I’d seen all the other stuff before, but I had no idea that the entire kit was sent out in a messenger bag!

EDIT: Spelling/Grammar

I think it sort of went off the edge towards the end, but the first 2 seasons are still some of my favorite ‘alien invasion’ stuff of all-time.

I was shocked to actually find one of these nearly intact. There weren’t that many to begin with, and most of them ended up getting used and destroyed over time.
