I love having an entire live TV channel dedicated to re-runs of old Star Trek episodes

Ok so, I have a little Kodi setup which includes a live tv system hooked up to Pluto so I can grab a bunch of channels for free. Turns out, this includes not one, but two whole channels of just Star Trek!

The first one is mostly TNG and the original series, and the other one (“creatively” called More Star Trek) has mainly Voyager and Deep Space Nine. I like these because I don’t even have to think about what episode to watch, and can just enjoy some Star Trek!

The only downside to this is well, ads lol

    As long as the ads aren’t too crazy (I haven’t really watched much on Pluto). Sounds cool to be able to just throw on a random episode without having to decide which one. I often enjoy having one playing in the background while doing other things.

    I don’t see it on Pluto Canada, though. Oh well.

      I actually don’t mind the Pluto ads. If you put Trek on in the background while working, I think you’ll find that they’re so repetitive yet non-annoying that you just mentally block them out.

      Eh the annoying thing about Pluto is they have like four commercials that repeat. It’s tedious to hear the same ad every time.

      That said, it’s free, and commercial breaks are the same frequency and duration of ordinary cable TV.
