Oh, okay. I'm not exactly sure what "streaming" is. Is that like On Demand on cable? You pick whichever show you wish to watch from a list of shows? That's pretty much it. Netflix has a library to choose from, you pick the show or movie you want, and it will just stream directly through the internet. As long as you have Wi-Fi and a Netflix account, you should be all set. Here's a tutorial on how to sign up for Netflix. Linking it to your PS4 will simply be a matter of the instructions your Netflix app gives you. And here's another video giving you an idea of how to navigate through Netflix on your PS4.

I'm no Media CEO, but I think this guy is just wrong. If you read any entertainment sites, the answer is right there. Shows that still come out once a week like Walking Dead, get articles all throughout their season, often times an episode by episode review and update article. Netflix shows get at article when the show 'drops' and then maybe a second article if the show was actually good and some writer wants to do an in-depth look at some part of it. Which of those two sounds better for promoting new shows? Plus, Netflix is a monthly subscription site. If someone only really wants one or two of your shows, they can easily just sign up for a month, watch them all and the cancel again. Whereas, if you were publishing your show slowly over a few months, you're getting double or triple the membership time, plus more time to advertise new shows that will keep them on longer. I think this is a self fulfilling prophecy here where because of their whole season releases of previous shows, this 'binge-watching' fad has grown up, and now they feel like they 'started' it. Which they didn't--DVD rentals/purchases of whole seasons did. And, to me, that is the big difference. There is always going to be the group of people that wait on reviews, or wait on cheaper packages or just simply like watching the shows all at once. That's fine. But why go throw out the successful first watch group of people. You gain nothing.

Weren't we supposed to receive a new VHX code through BackerKit yesterday? To prepare for Sunday's stream?

Apparently (I've not been able to do this myself since I had to delete the email address I used for the Kickstarter, I've asked BackerKit for assistance, but haven't received a response), if you go to your BackerKit email that gives you the link to your survey and digital materials, there should be a link to VHX to watch 1101.

I got my e-mail this morning, but I logged into Backerkit yesterday and activated the reward. Confirmed the trailer shows up on my Roku and XBox One so I'm all ready to go!

Same here. I might join the live Q&A if I can and/or my Internet connection agrees with me.

I went to Netflix today and they have updated the listing with cover art, a new font for the title (looks like they're sticking with "The Return") and a new still. You can even watch the trailer on the page now. I'd take snapshots but I'm a bit technologically limited over here.

Is it possible to watch this on an XBOX One then? Can someone tell me how? I can't find a VHX app in the store so I'm lost.

There is no VHX app on the Xbox One but you can use the web browser (Microsoft Edge) which is available free in the app store on the system, if it's not installed already in your Apps section. You can use your controller (I think you hit Start?) to enter the URL mst3k.vhx.tv at which point you'll need to log in. I was able to stream the trailer and my other bonus episodes that way and it seems to work fine. Not as elegant and user friendly as the proper app on the Roku but it works and you can even make it full screen.

Got it! Worked like a charm, much appreciated. Just a matter of watching the clock count down to 3 am now...

Score a win for me! Looks like I can use my browser in my 4K player to stream the episode directly to my 65" TV.
It's a pain in the ass to set up, but I think it'll be worth it.
I think I only have to wait until 1 AM here in Idaho. Luckily I start an overnight shift a week from today, so I'm not concerned about my sleeping schedule.
