Not going to bother using it, even though I've got the right Samsung Smart TV. Had far too many issues with Crunchyroll over the years to even entertain the thought of using another service of theirs (numerous subtitle issues, terrible backend issues, comment section removal, etc.)

And let's not forget the alleged mail tampering that screwed with several employees. I don't wanna support a company that would allegedly allow that.

Besides, the things I would like to see are getting less and less.

(Did I use enough "alleged/allegedly" to cover my butt?)

I mean, you don't have to Cypher...

And for Multi's response...hmm...

But yeah, kinda too little too late, when Roku (and the Roku Channel, which you can watch the 24/7 linear CR channel on any web browser free) did this not too long back. Samsung could have done this the same time when the CR linear channel for Roku was up. But I guess deals differ for different companies.

Thanks, but I'm sticking with the streaming platform. There are tons of anime available for viewing on it at any time and still counting.

I noticed their linear channel appeared in the Plex app around this time, so wonder if that's related to how they are serving the Samsung TVs. Weirdest part is how it seems to be running about 3-hours ahead of the linear version on the Roku channel (wouldn't have figured on an East/West thing for this type or provider.)
