Thanks Jason. I'll see if I can make it. Would love to see full eps of the series.

I've watched and haven't really been able to chat with anyone about it, so I'm pleased at the thought of a viewing part. I should be able to make that time!

Jason, are you providing a video feed or are you going to tell people to use the streaming options? So our overseas folks know if they'll be able to see it or not.

Hi ChrisW,

I'd planned on simply utilizing the Viz or Tubi TV streams, and having everyone who is logged in to the chat room start them at the same time. Hope to see you tomorrow! The Other Jason www.battleoftheplanets.info

Okay. I'll be there.

Sounds good, ChrisW. We're about 15 minutes from starting! Hope to see you and others soon! The Other Jason www.battleoftheplanets.info

I wish I could access the episodes

Hi KT,

Yes, I agree. I thought I had a solution for international access, but it ended up not working. If I try to have another viewing of future episodes, I'll see what can be done to include more fans. It was fun to watch the first episodes with a few folks and hopefully we can try it again! Otherwise, if anyone wants to come by the chat room, all are welcome and it's always open! Maybe you'll run into some friends. The Other Jason www.battleoftheplanets.info

I'll ask my DH about it... clears throat... he ahhh. Has a knack for making it work... we run into viewing issues all the time here.

I'm sorry I wasn't able to participate -- a couple of tornado warnings persuaded me to change my plans!

I had fun James, thanks! EW: Eek, tornado warnings definitely come first! Hopefully next time we'll have a way to include more folks.

Probably the easiest way of getting around regional restrictions is to use a VPN. There are paid services and there are free services, all with pros and cons. To see which ones might be right for you, try googling "free vpn [your country]" or "vpn reviews [your country]" to read articles and learn about products that are available to you. I'm considering using AVG's secure VPN, but that's just because I use AVG's paid security products already.

Any plans for another group viewing? The "Kagaku Ninja Tai Gatchman Forever" facebook page has English subtitled episodes so far available for viewing without a geowall - and some with Spanish subtitles! (It's a Spanish-language page.) Thank you to Katblu42 for finding it!

I think Jason was working on it ...

This website has all the episodes available on streaming, the subs are in Italian. It should be understandable for those of you who know Spanish, I can't tell if regional restrictions block it, though...

Hi all, I would like to have another group viewing. I was hoping to talk about it here earlier in the week, but couldn't access the boards. I think Saturdays will work best for most around the world, but I also know this coming weekend is a big holiday for many. So... perhaps Saturday, December 30? Let me know some thoughts. If it sounds like a lot of people can make it this Saturday, maybe we can try then. The Other Jason www.battleoftheplanets.info

December 30 will be really bad for me, unfortunately - worse than this weekend. Work has a really big event to set up for New Years Eve - 2 long days outside in the heat and sun to set up, then a REALLY long day on the 31st. I'd love to be part of the group viewing if I can, so my preference would be this weekend.

This weekend will be a no-go for me. It's just crazy-time. I'm kind of looking for an excuse not to go to the cricket match on New Year's Day, though. (It's an annual game, played in a cow paddock on the banks of the mighty Blackwood River. If you hit the ball into a cow pat, you're automatically out.)

Hi all, I think, all things considered, next weekend may be the best time. I'll confirm here if it still looks good toward the end of next week. It's a little difficult to schedule something convenient for everyone around the globe, but I sure hope the time I mentioned will work for most who would like to drop by. I will likely be in the chat room at various times over the weekend. I'll hope to see some of you! The Other Jason www.battleoftheplanets.info

Hi all, I may as well pile on some frustration about the board outages lately too. I had been planning on doing a weekend Infini-T Force viewing, but haven't been able to get in here for the past number of days to post about it. I want to be able to everyone a few days of cushion, so there's a better chance to plan to make it. I'm also glad to see James was able to finally get through to post the new Infini-T Force movie updates, I tried a number of times and gave up. Anyhow, I hope people will still be interested in trying for another viewing, and if things work out, I'll see about next weekend. Hopefully if things look good, I'll drop a note here around Wednesday with the time. More soon! The Other Jason www.battleoftheplanets.info

Ah, well I'll probably have to bow out, then. I have to make a run to the city. <> All those people... and cars... and dirty, stinky air.

I remember a while back I asked about sharing video and sound on Skype and other platforms. While I suspect that the paid version of Citrix's GoToMeeting is probably one of the best platforms for the job, I don't run webinars and therefore can't really justify the expense, so I fired up a voice-only Skype call last weekend and tried sharing eps 1 and 2 of Infini-T Force with my long-suffering hunka sisters and beta readers, Wyldkat and Shaz. It worked really well. Since I wasn't actually streaming the video in but just running it off my hard drive, my rural internet connection was able to handle it. (I pay for ADSL2+ but the local RIM can only do ADSL1 and nobody sells ADSL1 plans any more.) We all watched the eps together and it was great fun.
