You can?t actually access shows until after they?ve aired so for instance I
told it to record all of the wild wild West, but it will be months or years
before I actually have access to them.

And you won't even have them then. Since the recordings are only kept
for nine months. It's mostly the standard channels you will find on
your local broadcast stations secondary channels plus some things like
A&E. They also include some channels I've never heard of like the Dove
TV channels.

It's not a bad set of channels if you don't have cable and need
something to watch other than from the typical streaming sources.

Agreed

So tonight, Amazon prime asked if I would like to watch the first episode
of LANTERNS. I of course said yes. Instead, it launched the HBO Max logo
and showed me the trailer followed by asking me if I would like to watch
episode two. Of course, lanterns doesn?t start for a couple of months yet. >> I should have known better.

You had me going there for a second. I was wondering how Lanterns was available now.

So was I. I thought maybe it was a sneak preview of the pilot.
