I find the PlutoTV app to also be much more user-friendly and reliable than Paramount Plus. I would rather be able to have everything on demand and pay Paramount, but the Paramount Plus app is so buggy on my Smart TV and on Kodi that I’ve given up.

The last straw was when I was actually contemplating writing a script to automatically restart Kodi because of how often Paramount Plus dies on Kodi.

I agree with you that it’s nice in a way not even having to think about what to watch next. If something really bad comes on, like that pretty racist TNG episode from season 1 or the Voyage lizard episode, it’s a lot easier to just switch from the Star Trek to the More Trek channel, or vice versa, and be done with it.

I have an offline raspberry pi hooked up to my tv that just plays Futurama. There is no controller, no ability to switch episodes, it just continues playing randomly. If you turn on the TV it will just be in the middle of a random futurama episode.

I’ve finally ripped all my original Trek DVD/Blu-Rays and am going to make a second one for Trek.

The only choice I’ll have to make then is input 1 for Futurama or input 2 for Trek!

Check out dizqueTV. You can make as many Star Trek channels as you want. I have one for each series, and 2 that run a playlist of my favorite episodes ever.

I used to have channel that would only run Sci-fi shows on repeat without any breaks or ads.

Few of the shows that ran on it: ST:TNG, ST:DS9, ST:ENT, ST:VOY, ST:DIS, Stargate: SG1, Stargate:Atlantis, Stargate: Universe, Dark Matter, Expanse,

And they would go in cricles, like one episode of each show. Sometimes they would do a marathon and just play the entire show in few days. NON-STOP, NO-ADS Sci fi goodness. Best TV channel i ever had.

It’s pretty great. Our TV came with Pluto and there have been a handful of times where I’ll throw on the trek channel because my wife and I can’t figure out what to watch.
