Acorn TV

[llmart]

I access Acorn TV through my Roku and library card. I just discovered an Australian series called "East of Everything" which I found absolutely delightful! Anyone else watch this?

If nothing else, the scenery will make you want to book a flight to Australia.

1. How are you able to access Acorn with your library card?

I have had Acorn in the past through my Roku but had to pay for it.

3. Your library has to subscribe to a digital service.

Usually these services can be expensive for libraries, but I would ask a librarian at your local library if they have a service such as this. I believe my library's service is www.rbdigital.com.

7. Mine has something called hoopla. Nt

8. Mine has that too.

It may or may not have Acorn TV. I never really got into Hoopla. Have you used it?

[avebury]

9. No but I will check it out.

I did download it to my cellphone. It is supposed to offer 6 download per month with my library.

2. I haven't seen that one

... but I've been watching another Australian series called "A Place to Call Home", which I've enjoyed quite a bit.

4. I watched that series on my local PBS station . Loved it.

6. I never saw it on PBS and...

I'm still upset that they require a donation to watch some of their best programs. They'll release some episodes and then the majority are locked. I gave up on that even though I love PBS.

12. Actually it was my local

Wisconsin Public TV---which carries lots of PBS--as an affiliate. We subscribe to Dish.. PBS is part of the package -so no extra charges (we have just the basic package).

13. I don't have cable.

I use rabbit ears and I can get four PBS stations, but I miss some of the series stuff unless I make a concerted effort to see what's on when.

My grown children bought the Roku for me about 5 years ago and the only thing I pay for is Netflix which is $7.99 per month.

5. I have just started watching that one.

11. LOL...I just posted that! This is the final series showing now!

10. My FAAAAVORITE Aussie show in on Acorn! "A Place to Call Home."

The final series (waaah!) just started. Watch from the beginning. It's wonderful!

[llmart]

14. I think I've only watched one episode.

So, at your recommendation I'll keep going. I got distracted with "Ozark" but finished that in no time because of my binge watching

16. My daughter and I watch that one together. It sucks that this is the final series!

[llmart]

17. Following up on your post...

I just finished watching all six seasons and you are right - this was an addictive series! The acting is terrific but now I'm sad it's over.

18. I can still envision a movie, taking place in the later 60s or so, and have them all back!

15. I like The Doctor Blake Mysteries

Another series from Oz, this one set in the late 1950s.
