Why would it be important for you to have offline access, unless you're referring to free access to a pay service?

I know everyone perceives value differently. I for one (and I know others as well) will not sign up for PokerGO due to the $10/month subscription. $10 is not the issue, I waste plenty of money on other things. My issue is that I don't see how this service could compare to Netflix, HBOGo or any other streaming service that is priced the same or close to PokerGO. I probably would have been one of the first to sign up if they started out at $5/month, but when I am paying the same price for services that have much better content, I could never get over the mental barrier of paying $10/month for PokerGO.

Like the other poster said, really weird rhetoric you've come up with here. Many paid streaming services like Netflix, Amazon Video, and YouTube Red allow for offline viewing, for obvious reasons.

'much better content' depends on personal preference. For me pokergo has much better content than Netflix (I don't like many modern films though, prefer old ones). Live coverage of the best tournaments and high stakes cash on PAD is good content if you're into poker.

Like it a lot. Still cant stream on FireTV because the audio is always out of sync. Has anyone been able to duplicate this issue or remedy it? Thanks.

I take it you've been on the PokerGo website. Did you see any options for downloading? And since you mentioned many of the big streaming services with millions of customers, do you really think their business model applies to PokerGo and its niche market?

What does any of that have to do with your first quote? Is English your first language?

You implied that offline viewing is somehow equivalent to piracy when it is in fact a very standard feature. It's okay to admit that you didn't know that.

Considering that this thread contains perhaps a dozen prior requests for pirated access to PokerGo content, it fits.

Your attempt at insult is even weaker than the attempt to draw a parallel between the businesses of Netflix and PokerGo.

Works ok for me on fire tv except that when you want to watch a long video there is no way to fast forward so you have to watch it all at once which with a 10hr video is no good. I wish they would split them into 1 or 2 hour parts.

Good content, def worth the small fee.

But the mediaplayer is pretty bad, I had problems making it run on my pc. Also weird to fast forward/ rewind.

And that PokerGo should have the same business model as Netflix. After all, they're both original content streaming services.

Nobody is saying that PokerGo should be as robust as Netflix. I know that a completely ridiculous argument like that is easier to attack, but I don't think you need to resort to that.

The fact that it's a common feature means it's a reasonable thing to ask about. Maybe he's considering signing up. It's just kinda weird to assume that he's hinting at piracy.

The main issue with your post was suggesting that there's no fathomable reason to legitimately want offline viewing. If you're actually standing by that claim, I encourage you to take a moment to think about it a little harder.

Or, if you just didn't know that was a thing, that's cool too.

namisgr11, can you believe this? The nerve of this guy, asking about resume features like Netflix has. What does he think this is, a multi-billion dollar company?
